Changing Planting Rate Sprocket Combinations-Seed Transmission

NOTE: Rate charts are based on average planter wheel slip in tilled soil conditions. No-till conditions will likely result in a higher population than what is shown in rate charts. Adjust accordingly. Always verify population and spacing with a field check.

Consult appropriate planting rate chart to determine desired sprocket combinations.
