Set the depth wheels.
With the Seedmatic sitting on hard flat ground, the depth wheels should be 25-75mm
clear of the ground, depending on your desired seeding depth. There is an adjustment
handle at the top of each depth leg, use this to adjust the legs.
There is a depth gauge at the top of each depth leg, check that both depth legs
are set at the same height
When the drill is in work, the best way to check your seeding depth is to have a
scratch around in the seed slots behind the drill and check where the seeds are placed
in the soil. Make the appropriate adjustments as needed.
At times we recommend that a chain harrow or light roller is towed behind the
Seedmatic to help cover the seed slots. This will help prevent bird strike and can
aid in seed germination.
