Emptying Front and Rear Tanks Simultaneously (lb/acre)

A41867

Front and rear tanks can be set to empty simultaneously when applying one product. Total application rate (lbs/acre) is split between the two tanks and meter settings adjusted for the proper ratio.

Cart Front/Rear Ratio
At 100% Capacity 40/60

 

IMPORTANT: Sample chart illustrated. Do not use to calibrate machine setting.

This non-typical example is based on the same meter segment type being used in both tanks. Determine

actual meter segment types on your machine and use corresponding charts to make ratio calculations and rate setting adjustments.

NOTE: Example based on a desired application rate of 101 lbs/acre of 11-52-0 fertilizer with tanks filled to capacity.

EXAMPLE:

Front Tank-100 (lbs/acre) x .40 = 40.4 (lbs/acre)
Rear Tank-100 (lbs/acre) x .60 = 60.6 (lbs/acre)

Total Application-60.6 + 40.4 = 101 lbs/acre

Use individual application rates to set front (A) and rear (B) metering as close as possible to total application rate. 39 is the closest match to the front

tanks computation of 40.4 (lbs/acre). 24 would be the drive box setting for the front tank. 62 is the closest match to the rear tanks computation of 60.6 (lbs/acre). 38 would be the drive box setting for the rear tank.
