Above chart is for planters equipped with contact drive. See “Tire Pressure” for recommended tire pressures.
This chart was calculated with a bulk density of 65 pounds per cubic foot.
NOTE: Fertilizer application rates can vary from the weights calculated in the above chart. To prevent application
miscalculations, make field checks to be sure you are applying fertilizer at the desired rate.
NOTE: Since the optional two-speed point row clutch is located ahead of the dry fertilizer drive, activating the
two-speed point row clutch reduced rate switch will cause the same per cent of reduction in dry fertilizer
application rates.
To check the exact number of pounds your fertilizer attachment will actually deliver on a 30" row spacing,
proceed as follows:
Remove one spout from one of the fertilizer hoppers and attach a container under the opening. Engage the
fertilizer attachment and drive forward for 174'. Weigh the amount of fertilizer caught in the container and multiply
that amount by 100. The result will be the pounds of fertilizer delivered per acre when planting in 30" rows. To
convert this delivery rate for wider rows, multiply by the following conversion factors:
36" multiply by 0.83
38" multiply by 0.79
