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 295/75/R22.5 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.

Figure 1

Gearbox Handle Adjustment

14742

Select Drive Type

Refer to Figure1

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 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.

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 Figure2

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.

Gear Box Ratios

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

Position Seed Cup Doors

Refer to Figure3, 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:

Note: Handleposition isused forcleanout,not plant-

(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 .

ing.If set to this position with seed loaded, itmay be difﬁcult to reset it to a normal operating position.

Checking Main Box Seed Rate

Note: For drills built after October 1, 2005,

use the gauge wheel tire or supplied calibration crank to calibrate. For drills built before October 1, 2005, use the gauge wheel to calibrate or order the calibration crank kit available through your Great Plains Dealer.

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 346 rotations. 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 Planting

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

Note: For drills built after October 1, 2005,

calibrate using gauge wheel or supplied calibration crank. For drills built before October 1, 2005, calibrate using gauge wheel or order the calibration crank kit availablethroughyourGreat Plains Dealer.

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 chart on page 13 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 346 rotations. 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 haveplenty 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.

Fertilizer Rate

Fertilizer application rates will vary with fertilizer type, density and particle size. Relative humidity and ﬁeld conditions can also affect application rates. Initially set rate according to the charts, then calibrate the drill to your material as described below.

Note: For drills built after October 1, 2005,

calibrate using gauge wheels or supplied calibration crank. For drills built before October 1, 2005, calibrate using gauge wheels or order calibration crank kit available through your Great Plains Dealer.

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.

Figure 6

23386

1205NT Calibration Crank

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.

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 16, 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 Appendix of 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 drop tubes on outside end of drill box. Pull fertilizer tubes off these three openers.

7. Turn gauge wheels or calibration crank a fewturns to meters 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 for 346 rotations (one acre). Check that the three meters have plenty of fertilizer coming into them.

10. Weigh metered material. Subtract initial weight of the empty container. Divide by three. 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.

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 drive wheel 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. If you are applying fertilizer of a different density, use the following table to convert application rate.

Density, lb/ft

45.0 50.0 55.0 60.0 65.0 70.0 75.0 80.0

Example: Your fertilizer has a density of 75 pounds per cubic foot, and you want to apply 100 pounds per acre. Multiply the desired application rate by the conversion factor.

100 x 0.87 = 87 Adjust drill to the setting closest to 87 pounds per acre.
