This manual relies on information in the Operator’s Man-

ual. Have both available when preparing to plant.

Setting Planting Rate

There are six steps to obtaining the desired number of

seeds per acre:

1. Know the characteristics of the seed.

Consult your seed supplier’s reference documents.

2. Find your settings in the Rate Charts.

3. Set the Drive Type (Main Seed box only).

4. Set the Rate Handle or Adjuster.

5. Adjust Seed Cup doors (Main Seed box only).

6. Calibrate the rate.

The charts are based on original factory tires, and

cleaned, untreated seed of average size and test weight.

Many factors will affect ﬁeld results, including ﬁeld condi-

tions, foreign material, seed size, seed treatment and tire

pressure.

Minor adjustments are likely to be needed.
