Small Seeds Tube Adjustment (Option)
Refer to Figure 18
On a drill with the Small Seeds option, deeper seed
placement may be achieved by rotating the seed tube
to face forward.
This orientation is suggested only if the seed firmer is a
seed flap. If a Keeton
®
or Seed-Lok
®
is present, seed
falls on the firmer and may be scattered rather than
placed deeper.
Opener Depth (Press Wheel Height)
Each seed opener has a press wheel that controls
seeding depth by pressing firmly down upon the seed
and soil. The press wheels also close the seed trench
and gently press soil over seed during planting. To set
the seeding depth
, adjust the press-wheel height on
each opener.
To adjust, first raise openers slightly, then lift and slide T
handles on top of openers. Adjust all press wheels to
the same height.
• For more shallow seeding, slide T handles forward (F)
toward implement.
• For deeper seeding, slide T handles backward (B)
away from implement.
If press wheels are lifting off the ground, increase
hydraulic down pressure. If press wheels are digging into
the ground reduce hydraulic down pressure.
