Calibrating & Adjusting Seeding Rate

1.

Use seed rate charts beginning on page 16 t
determine correct seeding rate. Make adjustments 
as follows:

a. Decide which drive range is required (low or high 

range). If necessary, change speed change 
sprocket to accommodate correct speed range. 
See 

“Seed Rate Speed Change” 

on page 14.

b.

Refer to

 

Figure 3-4 on page 15:

 Move seed rate 

adjustment lever to cup setting number obtained 
from the seed rate charts. For best results, first 
move adjustment lever all the way to the left and 
then to the desired setting.

Increase setting if seed is lighter than average. 

Decrease setting if seed is heavier than 
average.

2. Complete the following procedure to calibrate the 

rate for your specific seed.

a. Place several pounds of seed over three of the 

seed cups at the outboard end of the seeder. 

Do 

not

 allow any of the seed to reach other cups.

b. Raise the seeder off the ground and support is 

safely, leaving the front roller to rotate freely.

c. Rotate front roller to see that the drive system is 

working properly and the seed cups are free from 
foreign matter.

d. Place a drop cloth under the seeder to collect all 

seeds that are metered out.

e. Make sure each cup has plenty of seed falling into 

them and no other cups are receiving seed.

f. Rotate front roller the number of rotations noted in 

the 

“Front Roller Rotation Table”

 below.

IMPORTANT: 

Seed rates provided in the charts may 

be inconsistent with actual planting rates due to 
seed size, weight, treatment, moisture content, ratio 
of inert material to seed, different seed mixtures, 
humidity, & ground preparation. Minor adjustments 
to the cup setting may be needed to compensate.

NOTE:  

To determine seed rates for seeds not listed 

in the charts, compare weight and size to those 
listed and use a similar setting. Follow steps 1 to 3 to 
calibrate seed rate.

NOTE:  

A 1/2" bolt is threaded into the right-hand end 

of the front roller shaft. Turn bolt clockwise for proper 
seed cup rotation.

g. Be sure to check the three feed cups to make sure 

each cup has plenty of seed coming into it.

h. Weigh the seed which has been metered out and 

divide that weight by three to get the number of 
pounds or kilograms per seed cup.

i. Next, multiply number of pounds or kilograms per 

seed cup by the number of seed cups on the grass 
seeds seedbox to arrive at weight “A”.

j. If Weight “A” is calculated based on:

1/10 acre, then “A” x 10 = lbs/acre
1000 sq ft, then “A” x 43.56 = lbs/acre
1000 sq ft, then “A” x 1 = lbs/1000 sq ft
1/20 hectare, then “A” x 20 = kgs/hectare
100 sq meters, then “A” x 100 = kgs/hectare
100 sq meters, then “A” x 10 = kgs/1000 sq m

k. If calculated grass seed rate is different than the 

suggested settings in the charts, then increase or 
decrease the seed cup adjustment lever. 

3. Repeat calibration procedure if the results of the 

calibration vary greatly with the chart.

Figure 3-4

NOTE:  

If total weight for 3 seed cups is in 

ounces, divide that weight by 48 instead of 3.

IMPORTANT: 

Remember, field and seed conditions 

will affect seeding rates. Check amount of seed 
being using by noting acres or square feet seeded, 
amount of seed added to the seeder, and level of 
seed in the seed box.

It may be necessary to make minor adjustments to 
the seeding rate if the seeder has been accurately 
calibrated and is seeding more or less seed than 
desired.

IMPORTANT: Do Not 

operate seed rate adjustment 

lever at -0- setting. Seed cup damage may occur. 

Do Not

 set door handles and seed rate adjustment 

lever to the widest open position with seed in the box 
unless complete clean out is desired
