To set the front and rear tanks to empty an identical product simultaneously, split the total application rate (lbs/acre) between the two tanks and adjust the meter settings to the proper ratio.

IMPORTANT: Sample chart illustrated. Do not use sample chart to calibrate machine setting. This non-typical example is based on the same meter roller used in both tanks. Identify actual meter rollers on machine and use corresponding charts to calculate

ratios and rate (transmission) adjustments.

NOTE: Example based on a desired 11-52-0 fertilizer application rate of 101 lbs/acre with tanks filled to capacity.

Example
Tank
(Ratio)		 Calculation Result Closest Rate in Chart Transmission Setting
Front Tank
(40)		 101 (lbs/acre) x 0.40 40.4 (lbs/acre) 39 (A) 24
Rear Tank
(60)		 101 (lbs/acre) x 0.60 60.6 (lbs/acre) 62 (B) 38

 

Use individual application rates to set front and rear meters as close as possible to total application rate. 39 is the closest match to the result of the front tank calculation 40.4 (lbs/acre). The transmission setting is

24 for this rate. 62 is the closest match to the result of the rear tank calculation 60.6 (lbs/acre). The transmission setting is 38 for this rate.
