4.9 Setting And Checking Feed Rate
For most seeding, the feed wheel should be aligned as shown above. Set the pointer on number 8. The center of the
feed wheel should be centered in the opening as viewed from outside of the box.
The rates shown on the charts serve only as a starting point. Due to variations in material size and density the rates
may vary from the chart. The following methods may be used to determine the proper setting for your particular seed
or fertilizer.
Setting and checking feed rate using wheat as an example.
1.
You want to seed wheat at a rate of 95 lbs. per acre on 7” spacing.
2.
Seed rate charts calls for a wheel space of 1/8” (page 31). Pointer set on 8 (page 28). The adjustment
should be made before filling grain tank.
3.
Make sure feed wheel cover is in place. Put grain in tank.
4.
Seed far enough so you can visually check grain flowing into seed cups.
The addition of the single agitator to the standard drill box will prevent these seeds from bridging above the feed
wheels. The single agitator may be added to all 107 drills after Serial No. 553. (Serial No. 553 to 899 require longer
agitator shafts.)
