Adjustments

Setting Material Rates

Planting Rate

Adjusting the planting rate requires the following:
1. Preparing rows:

Correct seed disk selection is required for correct

rate. Meter shutter setting and meter pressurization

adjustments assure the rate. See the SRM.

2. Monitor configuration:

The seed monitor must be set up with the correct

row count, row spacing and disk cell count. See the

Seed Rate Manual (SRM) and the DICKEY-john

®

Planter/Drill Control (PDC) manual.

3. Ground speed calibration:

Seed monitor rate control and reporting is only as

accurate as the speed reported by the radar. See the

PDC manual.

4. Setting seed rate, based on drive type:

•

Hydraulic Drive:

Check, in the Seed Rate manual, that the intended

population and planting speed are within range for

the seed disk. Enter the rate on the console.

•

Ground Drive:

Check, in the Seed Rate manual, that the intended

population and planting speed are within range for

the seed disk. Per the Seed Rate manual, select and

install the Range, Transmission and Upper drive

sprockets that provide that rate.

5. Checking planting rate:

Although the seed monitor reports a computed

population based on seeds sensed, only an actual

furrow check provides certainty about the actual

seeding rate. See the SRM.

Hydraulic Drive Rate

Entering a specific rate, and increment/decrement limits,

is done via the Material Setup screens, which require

User Level 2 privileges. See the PDC User Level 2/3

manual.
Area-specific mapped rates may be loaded via SD card

from compatible third-party farm prescription software

applications. Consult the software supplier documents.
Once set, an operator at User Level 1 may adjust the

rate from the main work screen. See the PDC User

Level 1 manual.

Population and Equipment Wear Risks:

For ground drive, perform identical setups on each of the two

gauge wheel drives. Any differences can cause unpredictable

seed rate and excess clutch wear.
