5.3 Single Agitator Applications
The addition of the single agitator to the standard drill box will prevent these seeds from bridging above the feed
wheels.

Killdeer sideosts # Pubescent wheatgrass Streambank wheatgrass

# Extremely trashy samples may require the double agitator.
For more information please see the Chart for drilling grain on page 30.
5.4 Special Instructions for Warm Season Grasses
Warm season grasses tend to be very low bulk and are very trashy or chaffy in appearance. Special equipment required
to properly meter these grasses is listed below.
• Double agitator (top and bottom)
• Larger opening in drill box (1-1/2 inch)
• 2 inch I.D. grass tube kit
• Sprocket set (feed shaft speed adjustment)
Obtain the best quality seed available for best results. Trashier samples may need to be blended with heavier seed to
improve metering capabilities. Center the feed wheels as shown on page 23. Be sure to check the feed wheels as shown
on page 23.
