5.13 Seed rate calibration
When calibrating the seed rate, the later field pass is simulated. The seed metered in the process is
collected and weighed.
The required seeding shaft speed is calculated from the simulated area (e.g. 1/40 ha) and the weight
of the collected seed.
With the calculated seeding shaft speed depending on the seeded area, the required seed rate will be
spread during the later field pass.
Always calibrate the seed rate

during the initial operation

when changing the sort

if the seed type is identical, but the grain size, grain shape, specific weight and dressing are dif-
ferent

after changing from the coarse metering wheel to the fine metering wheel or bean metering
wheel and vice versa

after adjusting the
