Roller Down Pressure

NOTE: To determine seed rates for seeds not listed on the charts, compare weight and size to those listed and use a similar setting. Follow steps 4 and 5 to calibrate the seed rate.

IMPORTANT: Field conditions will affect seeding rates. When seeding check the amount of seed you are using by noting acres or square feet seeded, amount of seed added to seeder, and level of seed in the seed box. If you suspect that you are seeding more or less seed than desired, and you have accurately calibrated the seeder to your seed, you may need to adjust the seeding rate slightly to compensate for field conditions.

NOTE: This seeder is equipped with a four-position feed cup door on each feed cup. The highest handle position is for small seeds, the second and third positions are for larger seeds. For application with this seeder, you will only need to use the highest position. MAKE SURE all handles are in the same position before seeding. The wide open position will allow complete clean out of the feed cup.

DO NOT open the cup to the wide open position with seed in the box unless complete clean out is desired.

Refer to Figure 3-3:

Maintaining proper roller down pressure is important for consistent roller to soil contact. The feeder cups are driven off the roller. Adjusting nut up, which compresses spring and decreases dimension giving more pressure to roller. Adjusting nut down decreases roller pressure. Not enough down pressure may not compact the soil sufficiently for proper seed germination.

NOTE: For best results set both ends the same.
