HOW TO ADJUST THE FLOW OF FERTILIZER
Set the bolt that the upper end of the knocker’s arm rests against, so that the vibrator pan will move
back about 3/16 or 1/4 of an inch. This will be enough motion to make the fertilizer work its way over
the pan, and then adjust the gate at front end of pan up or down to give the amount you wish per acre.
(Gate open approximately 1/4” will give you 450 lbs. per acre.)
DIFFERENT PLATES WILL PLANT DIFFERENT KINDS OF SEED
The plates we furnish, can be used for planting all kinds of seed such as corn, sorghum, peas and
beans. Chemically delinted cotton seed can be planted perfectly with the large peanut plate; peas and
beans can also be planted with the same plate. Other plates are available for purchase.
DRILLING ATTACHMENTS FOR VERY SMALL SEED
We make an attachment to be used in the regular cotton seed can for drilling very small seeds such
as cabbage, turnips, collards, etc. When this attachment is wanted, we can furnish it, and will send
along with it directions on how to use. This attachment will drill small seed as perfectly as can be done
with any regular garden drilling planter.
USE OF SPROCKETS EXPLAINED
You will notice in all the tables of distances that the sprockets work in pairs, for example 12” x 6”.
Each figure represents the number of teeth on the sprocket, and the first figure, or sprocket, is always
the driving or pulling sprocket, and the second figure is the driven or pulled sprocket. So don’t forget
this.
