NOTE
For sunflower seeds larger than 15 mm, use an
opto-sensor, shot channel and furrow former with
a diameter of 20 mm.
NOTE
For soya, the size can fluctuate depending on the
seed. The actual spread rate can deviate strongly
from the target rate. Check the grain placement
after driving a short distance.
When using the 120/4.0 discs, there can be
deviations in the distribution along the row
depending on the seed, target rate and forward
speed.
