Main Seed Box Planting
Main Seed Box Rate
Initial seeding rate from the main boxes is controlled by:
• Drive Type on each ground drive,
• Main box Seed Rate Handle on each box, and
• Seed Cup Door setting
Note: The main seed box rate is unaffected by the Small
Seed Rate Handles and Small Seed/Native Grass
sprockets settings.
Setting Drive Type
Main seed box Drive Type is a ground drive sprocket
combination. There are no sprocket changes at the main
seed box itself.
All necessary sprockets are already on the shafts, and
need only be inverted and/or shifted into place.
Before setting the drive type, rotate the gauge wheels.
Check that seed cups, seed tubes and drives are work-
ing properly and free from foreign material.
Select the drive type from the seed rate charts. The drive
type varies by seed type and intended population.
1. Find your drive type in the seed rate charts of this
manual.
2. Find the drive type sprocket set required in Figure 1
or the table at right.
Note: Whether sprockets are changed or not, verify
chain slack, and check that clip openings on
removable links are facing away from the direction
of chain travel.
3. If the double sprocket is already configured as
needed, skip to step 12.
Lower double 20T+35T sprocket.
Invert on shaft to change.
Upper single jackshaft sprockets (19T or 39T).
Slide aside to change.
