For Grain, changing the Shutter Slide from 3/4 to Full gives
10% to 15% more flow.
Metering Wheel*: N = Normal Metering Wheel
F = Fine Seed Metering Wheel
Shutter Slide*:
Bottom Flap*: The values shown were the optimum test settings,
decreasing the gap may cause seed damage, too large a gap will
give intermittent flow rates. (Flaps are spring loaded to cope with
small variations in seed/granule size).
Pasture Mix*: Test Mixture = 72% Perennial Grass, 8% White Clover,
8% Cocksfoot, 8% Concord, 4% Red Clover
TSW*:
TSW(gm) x Desired Plants/m
