Setting Variable Rate Gearbox

Refer to Figure 61

The variable rate gearbox lets you infinitely vary meter 

drive speed to attain a wide range of seeding rates. The 

ratio of gearbox input speed to output speed is controlled 

by the position of a gearbox control arm. The control arm 

has an indicator

 that points to a scale marked in 

degrees. The Seed Rate and Fertilizer Rate charts show 

the rate for each degree of the control arm rotation.
• Manual: On the standard NTA607/2007HD drill, the 

control arm is manually positioned with a crank

. 

The initial setting is based on the seed rate chart, and 

refined via calibration.

• Servo: With the optional Variable Rate Kit, the control 

arm is positioned by a linear actuator

. The setting is 

commanded by the seed monitor, based on the rate 

entered on the seed monitor console, and the current 

Calibration Constant. The initial “Cal. Const.” is found 

in the seed rate charts, and refined via calibration.

Manual Rate Setting

1. Consult the seed rate chart for your crop, flute stars 

and rate Range. Note the gearbox setting.

2. Remove the hairpin cotter securing the gearbox 

adjustment crank.

3. Rotate crank until the control arm indicator points to 

the scale setting that matches the rate from the Seed 

Rate chart or determined by calibration.

4. Reinsert the hairpin cotter.

Variable Rate (Servo) Rate Setting

1. Consult the seed rate chart for your crop, flute stars 

and rate Range. Note the “Cal. Const.”

2. Enter the chart Calibration Constant on the seed 

monitor (for the Channel associated with the hopper 

and gearbox). If you have calibrated this seed, use 

the recorded Cal. Const. developed from that cali-

bration.

3. Enter the desired material rate on the seed monitor 

(for the Channel associated with the hopper and 

gearbox).

Null4:

Note: The variable rate gearbox operates optimally 

between 30 and 70. If a seed has charts for both 

HIGH Range and LOW Range, the most consis-

tent results are obtained when the gearbox control 

arm is set between 30 and 70. Settings below 20 

degrees are not recommended. When the control 

arm is set above 70 degrees, large movements of 

the arm result in small changes in seeding rate.

Note: If you will be metering the same material from both 

bins at the same time, use the Seed Rate chart 

entry for 

half

 the desired application rate. Do not 

use a half scale setting - the effect of the variable 

rate gearbox control arm is not linear - a half scale 

setting is usually not half the rate.

Note: The hand crank is present on both manual drills, 

and (servo) drills with the Variable Rate kit. On 

servo drills, the crank is disconnected from the 

control arm. To revert to manual control, move the 

coupler pin

 from the servo control arm to the 

manual control arm.
