Checking Acremeter Accuracy

Acremeter reading (A) is an approximate measurement and may be affected by a worn out counter, chipped gear teeth, or a loose worm gear. To test accuracy of the acremeter, perform the following procedure.

1. Divide 43 560 by width of drill to find a calibration distance equal to one acre.

2. Operate machine over calibration distance (one acre).

3. Disengage clutch and review acremeter reading to ensure one acre has actually been covered.

EXAMPLE: 20 ft drill

1. 43 560 ÷ 20 ft = 2178 ft

2. Operate drill for 2178 ft

3. Check acremeter reading. Acremeter reading should increase by "1" acre.
