Using Seed Mixtures

  1. If mixing seed, select the shifter setting from the proper row spacing chart that will give desired quantity for EACH KIND of seed.

  2. Add the settings together and set the shifter in the notch that represents the total of all the settings. See EXAMPLE below.

  3. Set the shifter higher or lower after performing in-field checks. See CHECKING QUANTITIES DRILLED in this section.

    NOTE: If seed is not shown on the charts, select a seed of comparable weight and size when determining shifter setting.
