14. Divide desired rate of pounds per acre by the pounds 

per shaft revolution (this is the number obtained from 

step 13). Find this number (or the closest number to 

this) in the drive setting chart. This will give Drive 

Type and Native Grass sprocket sizes. 

15. Determine which Driving   and Driven   sprockets 

and Drive Type are required for the native grass box. 
The sprockets are stored on the left-hand side   of 

the drill frame. The drive type is set by ground drive 

sprockets (see page 3).

To change Native Grass sprockets, loosen the chain 
idlers   and remove chain.

Replace with desired sprockets. 

You may want to repeat the calibration procedure if your 

results vary greatly from the seed rate chart.
Note: All native grass mixes will vary in weight, seed type, 

and density, so this is why you must calibrate each 

mix.

Note: It is necessary to calibrate seed mix before set-

ting seed rate. 

16. Set the other wing to match the wing now calibrated.
17. Re-attach the seed tubes on the tested rows. Return 

the calibration crank to the storage stob of the wing 

customarily used for calibration.

Note: When drilling, check the amount of seed you are 

using by noting acres drilled, amount of seed add-

ed to drill, and level of seed in drill box. If you sus-

pect that you are drilling more or less than desired, 

and you have accurately calibrated the drill to your 

seed, you may need to adjust the seeding rate 

slightly to compensate for your field conditions.
