Grass Seedbox Drive Speed Ranges
The grass seedbox can operate using any one of its three
drive speed ranges to accommodate different grass seed
sizes and dispersal rates. They are high range, low
range, and low range reduction. The Low Range
Reduction speed is good for seeding food plots to draw-
on page 32 for detailed operating instructions.
Use the
“English Seed Rate Charts”
beginning on
page 40 or
“Metric Seed Rate Charts”
beginning on
page 43 to determine which speed range is correct for
your specific grass seed.
Grass Seedbox Cup Gate Setting
Refer to Figure 4-1:
Each seed cup is equipped with a four-position gate. The
highest gate handle position shown is for smaller seeds,
the second and third positions are for larger seeds. The
forth position (handle rotated fully down below the bottom
tab) sets the gate at wide open to allow complete clean-
out of seed cup.
Seed rate charts are based on the gate handle being set
in the highest position. Typically, most seeds will use the
highest gate handle position. If using larger seed and the
seed is not discharging properly, try using one of the
other two gate handle positions.
IMPORTANT:
Never operate grass seeds seedbox
with seed rate adjustment lever set at 0.
Always
place the grass seeds transmission in neutral shown
in Figure 2-12 on page 32 to stop seed cups from
turning and from discharging product. Allowing any
of the seed cups to turn with adjustment lever set at
0 will damage the cups.
IMPORTANT:
Most applications for this seeder
require the gate handle be placed in the highest
position.
Make Sure
all gate handles are in the same position
before seeding.
Do Not
set gate handles in the fourth position with
seed rate adjustment lever to the widest open
position (See Figure 4-2 on page 38) with seed in the
box unless complete clean out is desired
.
