Vacuum Meter Operating Characteristics

The operating band (gray area) illustrates how vacuum meter performs in relation to desired population (indicated by horizontal line).

Width of band is due to:

  • Various sizes and shapes of seeds
  • Planting rate variations

In most cases, vacuum meter planting accuracy does not decline unless maximum planting speed is exceeded.
