FIELD TEST
Before the initial operation of the planter, a field test is
advised. Check for the following:
•
That the planter is level (front to back and side to side)
(see Level Integral Machines)
•
Check that the hydraulics of the 3-point hitch of the
tractor is in a float position while planting.
•
That all of the row units are running level and remain
parallel to the ground when planting.
•
Check that each metering unit is metering properly (see
Row Unit section).
•
Check that the seed disc has the proper number of holes
and proper diameter of holes for the type of seed you will
be planting (see Seed Disc chart in Row Unit section).
•
Check for the proper application rates of chemicals on
all rows.
•
Check the desired seed depth and population. (see
Row Unit section).
CHECKING SEED POPULATION
1. Only one planting unit is necessary to check seed
population. Tie up the sets of closing wheels on
one unit with a heavy cord or light chain. It may be
necessary to decrease the tension of the closing
wheel arm.
2. Put seed in the seed hopper.
3. Begin planting. At the end of a short distance (for
example 100 yards or 90 meters) check to see if seed
is visible in the seed trench. Make adjustments to
seed depth if necessary.
4. Measure off 1/200 of an acre of the test row just
planted. Use the chart below to find the approximate
distance. Mark this distance with flags.
Count the seeds within the distance between the flags.
Multiply the number of seeds counted in this distance
by 200. This will give the total number of seeds planter
per acre

NOTE: When viewing the test row for seed population
and placement, remember that the closing wheels
were tied up in a raised position. Therefore, the
