About Hydraulic Drive Rate
Before it can control seed rate, the console must be:
• configured with information about your drill and
intended planting speed,
• configured with a calibration number for the seed and
rate range, and;
• calibrated to fine-tune the calibration number and
speed.
This process is described starting on page 38.
With those steps completed, field seeding rate is
controlled manually by adjusting the target
“set=
” rate
using the
/
arrow buttons. Field rate can also be
controlled by a pre-loaded “recipe” or an external GPS
controller.
In field operation, the hydraulic drive console displays:
set=
the currently active desired seeding rate
out=
the current system seeding rate
spd=
(over number), the current speed
Seeding Depth
Seeding depth is controlled by coulter depth in
front, and press-wheel height in back. Seed cannot be
placed any deeper than coulter depth. Before adjusting
row units, make sure coulters are performing as desired.
See “
Consistent seeding depth relies on appropriate
down-pressure for conditions.
