FIELD TEST
Perform a field test with any change of field and/or planting conditions, seed size or planter adjustment to ensure
proper seed placement and operation of row units.
Check planter for front to rear and lateral level operation. See “Level Planter”.
Check
all
row units to be certain they are running level. Row unit parallel arms should be approximately parallel to
the ground when planting.
Check row markers for proper operation and adjustment. See “Row Marker Speed Adjustment”, "Row Marker
Chain Adjustment", and “Row Marker Length and Disc Blade Adjustment”.
Check for proper application rates and placement of granular chemicals on
all
rows. See “Field Check Granular
Chemical Application”.
Check for desired depth placement and seed population on
all
rows. See “Field Check Seed Population”.
Check for proper application rates of fertilizer on
all
rows. See “Fertilizer Application Rate Chart”.
