Table 2
Shutter Slide*: For Grain, changing the Shutter Slide from 3/4 to Full gives 10% to 15% more flow.
Pasture Mix*: Test Mixture = 72% Perennial Grass, 8% White Clover, 8% Cocksfoot, 8% Concord, 4% Red Clover
Bottom Flap*: The values shown were the optimum test settings, decreasing the gap may cause seed damage, too large a gap will give intermittent flow rates. (Flaps are spring loaded to cope with small variations in seed/granule size).
Metering Wheel*: N = Normal Metering Wheel F = Fine Seed Metering Wheel
TSW*: | TSW(gm) x Desired Plants/m2 = Sowing Rate (Kg/Ha) | |
