4.9 SETTING AND CHECKING FEED RATE
For most seeding, the front feed wheel should be aligned as shown above. Set the pointer on number 8. The center of
the front feed wheel should be centered in the opening as viewed from outside of the box.
Setting the rear feed wheel, set pointer on number 22. The right edge of the rear feed wheel should line up with the right
point of the diamond as viewed from outside of the box.
The rates shown on the charts serve only as a starting point. Due to variations in material size and density the rates may
vary from the chart. The following methods may be used to determine the proper setting for your particular seed or
fertilizer.
Setting and checking feed rate using wheat as an example.
1. You want to seed wheat at a rate of 95 lbs. per acre on 7” spacing.
2. Seed rate charts calls for a wheel space of 1/8” (page 30). Pointer set on 8 (see illustration above). The
adjustment should be made before filling grain tank.
3. Make sure feed wheel cover is in place. Put grain in tank.
4. Seed far enough so you can visually check grain flowing into seed cups.
