Area Counters, Seeds Per Hour, Seeds Per Area, and Area Until Empty

1. Select Menu >> Planter button >> Totals softkey >> Totals tab.

Screen Items:

  • Two adjustable area counters
  • A non-adjustable total area counter
  • A non-adjustable seeding hours counter
  • An average seeds per area counter
  • An adjustable counter that counts down to zero before sounding an alarm

2. Select Area Counter one or two input box and enter zero to clear the counter or enter a value to continue a previous count.

3. Select Area Until Empty input box and enter an area to count down. When count reaches zero, a full page warning appears and an audible alarm sounds. Refer to SEED ESTIMATOR CALCULATORS to calculate the area a quantity of seed covers. Enter that value in the Area Until Empty input box. To set the alarm to sound before the hoppers are empty, enter a slightly smaller value than what the seed covers.

4. Seeding Hours records the total amount of time seed is actually planted. Seeding Hours only counts when seed sensors detect seed flow.

5. Select the Zero button to clear Average Seeds Per Area counter every time a new field is entered or crop type is changed. This counter averages the total number of actual seeds detected by the seed sensors over the actual area planted.
