The number of times the hydraulic drive sprocket turns
to achieve 1 revolution of the seed meter. Use the
formula in the examples on page 2 to calculate Gear
Ratio. Carry the decimal to the nearest 0.0001.
The number of encoder pulses per revolution of the
hydraulic drive motor.

Figure 2: Calculating gear ratio of shaft drive meters.
If determining shaft ratios for any shaft not listed in the table above, rotate input shaft (driver) 10 times. Count how many
times the output (driven) shaft turns. Divide number of turns of the input shaft by the number of turns of the output shaft.

Note: These values are for the shaft only. Drive/Driven
value between the Seed Rate Motor and Planter
Drive Sprocket must still be determined.
Divide number of turns of the input shaft by the number of turns of the output shaft.
