OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Native Grass Seeding
The native grass seed box is used for seeding large fluffy
type seeds and blends such as Big and Little Bluestem,
Side Oats Grama.
The native grass box sits behind the front main seeding
box of the drill. Seeding rates for the native grass is
controlled by 1) the Drive Type of the drill ground drive,
and 2) the native grass seed drive driver\driven sprocket
combinations
See Figures 4-31 and See Figures 4-32 .
NOTE
Native grass and blends will vary in density, seed
weight and type. Rate charts will be variable per
individual conditions, seed types, temperature,
humidity, etc. For best results a calibration test should
be done with each seed prior to planting.
NOTE
Operator must verify actual seeding output
To calibrate the native grass seed box:
Use the native grass seed rate to find the rate for the
desired seed or similar seed. Locate the desired seed
setting for the ground drive type being used.
NOTE
Changing the ground Drive Type setting will affect the
seeding rates of the main seed box and the optional
small seed box as well
See Figures 4-30
.
Use the driver (front sprocket) and the driven (rear
sprocket) combination for the desired seed rate. Loosen
the idler sprocket and chain between the driver\driven
sprockets. Remove the pins holding the sprockets in
place and install the desired sprocket combination.
Install the remaining sprockets on the shafts and secure
with the pins.

NOTE
Adding powdered graphite to the native grass seed will
improve seed flow and even metering. Apply
approximately 1 cup per 15’ drill width across the top of
the native grass seed. Graphite rates may need to be
double or tripled in humid seeding environments.
