Main Seed Box Planting

Calibrating the seeding rate requires four steps:

1. selecting one of four drive types,

2. setting the seed-rate handle,

3. positioning the feed-cup door, and

4. checking the seed rate. Refer to the seed rate charts beginning on page 4.

These charts list the proper drive type and seed-ratehandle settings for various seeds and seeding rates.

The seed rate charts are based on cleaned, untreated seed of average size and test weight. The rates are based on 9.00 x 24 rib implement tires. Many factors will affect seeding rates including foreign material, seed treatment, seed size, ﬁeld conditions, tire pressure and test weight. Minor adjustments likely will be needed. Set and check the seeding rate using the procedures on page 2, then adjust the rate as necessary.

Select Drive Type

Refer to Figure 1

The gearbox is designed to give you a variety of drive speeds for different types of seeds and rates. It is a linear shift pattern design with constant mesh gearing and totally sealed to keep the dirt out. No lubrication is required unless service is needed.

The gearbox brass indicator plate is positioned so the side with “1” is closest to the center of the drill.

Setting 2 is 2.06 Times Faster Than 1 Setting 3 is 3.08 Times Faster Than 1 Setting 4 is 5.03 Times Faster Than 1

To set the gearbox move the selector handle until the desired drive type appears in the window on the

handle

Set Seed-Rate Handle

Refer to Figure 2

The seed rate handle controls the percent engagement of the seed sprocket in each seed cup.

1. Loosen wing nut under handle.

2. Set indicator to just past value from seed rate chart.

3. Tighten wing nut.

Position Seed Cup Doors

Refer to Figure 3, which depicts the seed cup door handle in position .

At each seed box seed tube, adjust the seed cup door handle for the seed size.

The handle has three normal operating position detents:

(top detent) is for the smallest seeds.

Use it for wheat and similar small seeds. (middle detent) is for larger seeds.

Use it for soybeans and similar larger seeds. (bottom detent) is for oversize or fragile seeds.

If you experience excessive cracking with setting , use setting .

Note: Handleposition isused forcleanout,not plant-

ing. If set to with seed loaded, it may be difﬁ-

cult to reset it to a normal operating position.

Checking Seed Rate

1. To calibrate, use either the left hand gauge wheel or the supplied calibration crank. If using the calibration crank, attach crank to coupler on gauge wheel jackshaft with retaining pin and disengage lockout on drive wheel.

2. Rotate left hand gauge wheel or calibration crank to see that feed cups and drive are working properly and are free from foreign matter.

3. To adjust seeding rate, decide which drive type (gearbox) setting you need from the seeding charts beginning on page 4. Set the gearbox. Rotate drive tire or calibration crank a few turns to conﬁrm gearbox has engaged.

4. Record weight of an empty container large enough to hold seed metered for one acre.

5. Place several pounds of seed over three seed cups on an outside end of drill box. Pull seed tubes off of these three openers.

6. Turn drive gauge wheel or calibration crank several times to ﬁll seed cups with seed. Turn wheel or crank until seed falls to the ground from each cup.

7. Rotate drive gauge wheel or calibration crank 595 rotations for the 706 and 411 rotations for the 1006. This is equal to one acre.

Note: Youcanalsorotate the gauge wheel jackshaftby

means of a wrench or socket. If rotating gauge wheel jackshaft, disengage the lockout on the drivewheel andusesame numberofrotations as for rotating drive wheel.

8. Check that the three seed cups have plenty of seed coming into them.

9. Weigh metered seed. Subtract initial weight of container. Divide by three. Multiply by the number of openers on your drill to determine total pounds seeded per acre. If this ﬁgure is different than desired, set your seed rate adjustment handle accordingly.

Note: Youmaywanttorepeat the calibration procedure

if your results vary greatly from seed rate chart.

10. When drilling, check seeding rate by noting acres drilled, amount of seed added to drill and seed level in drill box. If you are seeding more or less than desired, adjust seeding rate slightly to compensate for ﬁeld conditions.

Small Seeds Attachment

To set and calibrate the seeding rate on the optional small seeds attachment, follow these steps:

2. Rotate left hand gauge wheel or calibration crank to see that feed cups and drive are working properly and are free from foreign matter.

3. From the small seeds seed rate charts beginning on page 17, ﬁnd the setting number for desired feeding rate (and row spacing). Move the small seed cup adjustment lever to that setting number.

4. Record weight of an empty container large enough to hold seed metered for one acre.

5. Place several pounds of seed over three seed cups on an outside end of drill box. Pull seed tubes off of these three openers.

6. Turn drive gauge wheel or calibration crank several times to ﬁll seed cups with seed. Turn wheel or crank until seed falls to the ground from each cup.

7. Rotate drive gauge wheel or calibration crank 595 rotations for the 706 and 411 rotations for the 1006. This is equal to one acre.

Note: Youcanalsorotate the gauge wheel jackshaftby

means of a wrench or socket. If rotating gauge wheel jackshaft, disengage the lockout on the drivewheel andusesame numberofrotations as for rotating drive wheel.

8. Check that the three seed cups have plenty of seed coming into them.

Note: You may want to repeat the calibration procedure

if your results vary greatly from seed rate chart.

10. When drilling, check seeding rate by noting acres drilled, amount of seed added to small seed box and seed level in small seeds box. If you are seeding more or less than desired, adjust seeding rate slightly to compensate for ﬁeld conditions.

Native Grass Attachment Series II

The Native Grass box is for seeding ﬂuffy,native grass blends like Big Blue Stem, Indian Grass, and Oats Grama.

Setting Native Grass Rate

Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7

Seeding rate of the native Grass box is controlled by the gearbox Drive Type and a Driven sprocket on

the gearbox output chain. Rate levers on other boxes do not affect Native Grass rate.

Setting rate for Native Grass mixes (other than Brome) rate requires calibration, which is done using any current Drive Type and Driven sprocket combination. The results of the calibration determine the actual Drive Type and Driven sprocket to use. The process is:

• Meter a sample using the calibration crank.

• Weigh the sample and use that value in the calibra-

tion formulas.

• Find the ﬁnal drive setup in the chart.

A step-by-step table and example follow the detailed Native Grass Mix instructions on page 20.

Instructions and chart for Brome are on page 24.

Great Plains Calibration for Series II Native Grass Drills

Our method for calibration will work on any type of native grass no matter what seed type, weight, or density. See page 24 for steps speciﬁc to Brome.

Wegiveyou the drill’s revolutionsper acre at the native grass cup and allow you to calibrate the output in pounds by cup sprocket revolution per acre.

This is the most consistent calibration procedure that will work on all types of native grasses.

Note: It is necessary to calibrate for the seed mix

before setting seed rate.

To calibrate seed mix:

1. Record the weight of an empty container large enough to hold seed metered from the native grass box.

2. Fill three or more compartments at least seed in the native grass box. Pull seed hoses off

openers under the compartments.

Refer to Figure 8

3. To calibrate, use right-hand gauge wheel or supplied calibration crank.

4. To calibrate using right-hand gauge wheel, lower the drill hydraulically to planting position in order to activate clutch. Raise right drive wheel tire off the ground using a jack. Engage gauge wheel lockout on the right-hand side.

5. To calibrate using calibration crank, disengage gauge wheel lockout, and attach calibration crank to coupler on right-hand side of gauge wheel jackshaft using retaining pin.

6. Turn gauge wheel or crank several times to ﬁll seed cups with seed. Continue to turn gauge wheel or crank until seed falls to the ground from each cup.

7. Place the empty container under three seed hoses to gather the seed as it is metered.

Refer to Figure 6

8. Note the Drive Type on the gearbox (1, 2, 3, 4) and the range sprocket (15 through 24 tooth

sprockets).This information will be used later in

the calibration process.

9. Rotate gauge wheel or calibration crank for one acre. See table at right for rotations per acre.

10. Check that the three seed cups have plenty of seed coming into them.

11. Weigh metered seed, and subtract the initial weight of the container. Divide this number by 3 (number of cups metered). Finally, multiply by the number of openers on the drill. This equals the pounds per acre at this drive setting. Refer to the formulas on the right.

Note: Refer to the drive setting chart on page 23,

the numbers listed are the number of revolutions of the native grass meter shaft at a particular drive type and sprocket range.

12. To adjust this number, take the pounds per acre divided by the shaft revolutions.This is the pounds per shaft revolution.

13. Divide desired rate of pounds per acre by the pounds per shaft revolution (this is the number obtained from step 12). Find this number (or the closest number to this) in the drive setting chart. This will give the gearbox drive type and the range sprocket size.

14. Set the Drive Type lever to the chart value.

15. Determinewhich sprocketis required for the native grass box. The sprockets are stored on the righthand side of the drill frame.

To change sprockets, loosen the chain idlers. Replace with desired sprocket.

Note: All native grass mixes will vary in weight,

seed type, and density, so this is why you must calibrate each mix.

16. When drilling, check the amount of seed you are using by noting the acres drilled, amount of seed added to drill, and the level of seed in the box. If you suspect you are drilling more or less seed than desired, and you have accurately calibrated the drill to you seed, you may need to change your sprocketarrangement to compensate for your ﬁeld conditions.

Fertilizer Rate

Fertilizer application rates will vary with fertilizer type, density and particle size. Relative humidity and ﬁeld conditions can also affect application rates. The chart on page 28 is based on material with a density of 65 pounds per cubic foot (1.04 kg/L) and average particle size. Initially set rate according to the charts, then calibrate the drill to your material as described below.

Refer to Figure 16

1. To calibrate using gauge wheels, raise drill with tractor hydraulics so drive wheels are off the ground. To calibrate using supplied calibration crank, attach crank to coupler on gauge wheel jackshaft with retaining pin. Disengage lockout on the drive wheels.

2. Rotate drive wheels or calibration crank to see that metering system is working properly and free from foreign material.

3. From the chart on page 28, ﬁnd the setting number for your row spacing and desired application rate. Rotate gate adjustment knob to the number obtained from the chart.

4. Check that gauge-wheel tires are the correct size and properly inﬂated. Refer to “Tire Inﬂation Chart” in the operator’s manual.

5. Record the weight of an empty container large enough to hold fertilizer metered for one acre.

6. Place several pounds of fertilizer over three fertilizer feed cups on outside end of drill box. Pull fertilizer tubes off these three openers.

7. Turn gauge wheels or calibration crank a few turns to ﬁll feed cups with material.Continue to turn until fertilizer drops to the ground from all three tubes.

8. Place a container under the three tubes to gather metered fertilizer.

9. Turn gauge wheel or calibration crank for: 595 rotations for the 706 drill and 411 rotations for the 1006 drill. This is equal to one acre.

10. Check that the three feed cups have plenty of fertilizer coming into them.

11. Weigh metered material. Subtract initial weight of the empty container. Divide by 3. Multiply by the number of openers on your drill to determine total pounds-per-acre metered. If this ﬁgure is different than desired, reset adjustment knob accordingly.

IMPORTANT !

The fertilizer rate chart is for granular fertilizer with a density of 65 pounds per cubic foot (1.04 kg/L). If you are applying fertilizer with a different density, use the density conversion chart.

Note: You can also rotate the gauge wheel jackshaft by

means of a wrench or socket. If rotating gauge wheel jackshaft, disengage the lockout on the drivewheel and use same number of rotations as for rotating drive wheel.

Density Conversion Charts

The fertilizer meter rate charts are based on fertilizer with a density of 65 pounds per cubic foot (1.04 kilograms per liter). If you are applying fertilizer of a different density, use the following table to convert application rate.

Density, lb/ft
