Console Installation
The Air Drill’s standard seed monitor system includes a
virtual terminal and switch panel that must be mounted in
the tractor cab. As supplied by DICKEY-john, the kit
includes a flat bracket for the modules, and a ball swivel
for mounting the bracket in the tractor.
Mount the modules so that they are easy to monitor during
planting, but do not interfere with safe operation of the tractor
in the field or on public roads.
The ball swivel includes four 10-32 screws. You or your
dealer must provide the mounting holes for the screws.
Your dealer may have alternate suction cup or clamping
brackets available if you prefer to avoid drilling holes.
Refer to the included DICKEY-john manual for harness
connections.
Initial Marker Setup
Marker extension is factory preset for drill shipping, not
planting, and needs to be set prior to first use. When
making this adjustment, also check chain length and
marker speed. Watch for signs that the marker hydraulic
system needs to be bled (page 130).
Review “ Marker Safety Information ” on page 60 before
operating or working on markers.
Marker Extension
Marker extension depends on drill size and row spacing.
Refer to table at right.
In the table above, the extension values are measured
from the center-line of the outside wing rows, to the mark
left by the marker disk.
