Tips and practices for best accuracy
In order to achieve the greatest accuracy in seed dispensing weight, fill the
planter hopper(s) in the most consistent manner as possible.
• Dispense seed on level ground.
• Avoid areas of high wind.
• Fill all planter hoppers in the same manner. The auger and seed
chute will hold more seed when fully extended than when vertical,
and may change the weight of the seed dispensed.
• When filling with a fully extended seed chute, the auger tolerance
(DAN 442) may need increasing compared to filling the same planter
with a short chute.
• The seed chute should rest on or against the planter hopper the
same way for every fill.
• Do not let the seed chute hang free or rest on the seed as it is filling.
• For fast moving augers or conveyors, a restrictor plate may be
required from your seed tender manufacturer to better control the
seed dispensing rate.
• When using seed boxes, adjust the slide door to slow down the seed
dispensing rate if needed.
• Adjust the tolerance for the seed type and weight being used.

SYSTEM SETUP
Auger Tolerance will be setup and changed as needed based on seed type or
weight.
Number of Bins, BINNUM 132
Enter number of Seed Tender bulk bins. Refer to page 20 for details, D.A.N. 132.
Tolerance, TO LER 442
Enter Seed Tender auger tolerance weight. Refer to page 21 for details, D.A.N.
442.
Calculating Aug er Tolerance
Auger tolerance is the weight offset of seed remaining in the seed tender auger or
conveyor while filling the planter. This value is set to adjust for the delay of the
auger to stop movement of seed sliding out of the seed chute. This value may
need to change based on seed chute size, extended seed chute length, seed type,
and seed weight. Set the “TOLER” value for the expected use of the seed tender.
1. Load at least 200 pounds of seed into the tender.
2. Park seed tender on level ground.
3. Collect three empty containers of same size and weight to hold 60 pounds
of seed each.
4. Have other scale nearby that can measure one full container.
5. Either weigh empty container and zero scale or record container weight.
6. Enter PRESET of 30 pounds on indicator. 3-0-ENTER
7. Extend seed chute to normal distance and height of planter to fill.
8. Dispense seed in AUTO mode into one empty container. Refer to page 8,
Automatic Scale Mode.
9. Weigh filled container.
10. Subtract PRESET weight from total weight:
a. Subtract container empty weight if needed
11. Enter weight value as “TOLER”, D.A.N. 442. Refer to page 21.
12. Repeat steps 7-10 two more time s to verify accur acy.
13. For tender dispensing too much seed, increase tolerance weight by the
amount of overfill. For tender dispensing too little seed, decrease
tolerance weight.
