Understanding Meter Settings

The following factors affect product delivery as shown in the rate charts.

1. Physical Characteristics-Two bags of seed that weigh the same may hold different quantities of seed because of moisture content, trash, unfilled kernels, or simple seed size.

2. Drive Wheel Circumference-Tire size, air pressure, field condition and ground speed all affect seeding rate.

3. Operator Judgement-Land contains more or less area than assumed. Overlapping rows or leaving too wide a space between rows.

4. Machine Settings-Accuracy in setting meter drive transmissions.

IMPORTANT: Application rate-to-transmission setting data shown on the rate charts was established with meter segment tuning rings installed.

IMPORTANT: For 38 cm (15 in.) Row Spacing Only-Transmission speed setting shown on Rate Chart MUST be doubled for this row spacing.
