and meter adjustment information.
For seeds not listed, measure a seed and set the planter
according to the nearest seed size shown.
Use the 50 seeds per disc table to determine sprocket
sizes, seed spacing, maximum speed, and seed
population per acre.
IMPORTANT: Always check actual seeds planted over a
measured distance to determine actual spacing
and population. The operator is responsible for
making sure the desired population is planted.
