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)
