D12220401
Shown With Corn Fingers Installed
The following seed fingers are available for use with the
finger pickup seed meter:
(PLTR91/PLTR92/PLTR91a)
Corn Fingers
Oil Sunflower Fingers
No. 3 and/or No. 4 size oil sunflower seeds are
recommended for use in the finger pickup seed meter
equipped with oil sunflower fingers.
No. 1 and/or No. 2 size confectionery sunflower seeds
are recommended for use in the finger pickup seed
meter equipped with corn fingers.
NOTE: Powdered graphite is recommended for
finger pickup seed meter lubrication to ensure
efficient operation of the mechanism and to extend
the life of its components. Mix one teaspoon of
powdered graphite with the seed twice daily. Apply
graphite on top of seed around the outer perimeter
of the hopper as shown below. Graphite application
frequency and volume may need to be increased if
using additional seed treatments.
NOTE: Do NOT apply graphite only in the center of
the hopper. It will filter too quickly through the seed
and not distribute as evenly as desired.
NOTE: Follow manufacturer’s recommendations
when applying and mixing other seed treatments.
If the additive is to be applied on top of the seed,
apply around the outer perimeter of the hopper as
with graphite.
See “General Planting Rate Information”, “Finger Pickup
Seed Meter Troubleshooting” and “Finger Pickup Seed
Meter Inspection/Adjustment” for additional information.
CLEANOUT
To maintain genetic purity, thorough seed meter cleanout
is important.
To clean the seed meter, disengage the seed drive and
remove the seed hopper and meter. Dump the seed
from the right rear corner of the hopper into a container.
Turn the seed drive several times. Invert hopper to
dump seed again. Shake the hopper and listen for any
remaining seed. Turn seed drive and shake and dump
hopper until all seed is removed.

NOTE: Always check seed population in the field to
ensure planting rates are correct.
Half Rate Blank Finger
Blank fingers are used to
replace alternate fingers
in the finger wheel to
reduce the planting rate
by half while allowing the
finger wheel to maintain
a minimum of 40 RPM
when planting low rates.
