Metering gates have four settings:

  • Closed: Used for runs that are closed.
  • 1/3 open: Used for metering small seeds, such as sorghum.
  • 2/3 open: Used for metering medium seeds, such as wheat.
  • Full open: Used for metering large seeds, such as soy beans. Full open can also be used for high rates of wheat.
