Seed and Small Seeds Rate
Charts

Thefollowingpagesare to assist in the proper setting of seeding rates
forthe 2N-2410,2N-2420, 2N-3010 and 2N-3020 FoldingNo-Till drill.
The rates indicated in the charts are approximate values. To assure
the most accurate seeding rate it is recommended that the drill be cal­ibrated for the desired seed at the time of planting.

Setting the Seeding Rate

Calibratingthe seeding raterequiresfour steps:shiftingthe
speed-change gearbox, adjusting the seed-rate handle,
setting the seed-cup doors, and checking the seeding rate.

Checktheseed-ratecharts startingonpage 5 or in the drill
boxes. These charts list the proper settings for the speed­change gearbox and seed-rate handle 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 11L x 15 8-ply rib implement tires and 265/70B16 skid
steer tires. Many factors will affect seeding rates including
foreign material, seed treatment, seed size, field condi­tions, tire pressure and test weight. Minor adjustments
likelywill be needed. Set and check the seeding rate using
theprocedures below,thenre-adjustthe rateasnecessary.

Before setting the seeding rate, rotate both gauge wheels
to see that the seed cups and drive are working properly
and free from foreign material.

Note:Eachdrillboxhas its own metering mechanism. After
adjusting and checking the rate on one box, set the same
rate on the other box.

Refer to Figure 1

1. Shift Speed-Change Gearbox

The speed-change gearbox is designed to give you a
varietyof speeds for differentseeds and seeding rates.
You can shift between four different drive types.

Referto the seed-rate chartsfor the correct drive type–
1, 2, 3 or 4. Move the selector handle on the gearbox
untilthecorrectnumberappears in the handle window.
Rotate the tires a few turns to confirm the gearbox has
engaged.

2. Adjust Seed-Rate Handle

Position the handle to the setting indicated on the
seed-rate chart. To adjust, loosen the wing nut under
the handle and slide until indicator lines up with de­sired setting. Retighten nut.

3. Set Seed-Cup Doors

Forwheat and other small seeds, move the seed-cup­door handles to the highest position. For soybeans
and other large seeds, lower the handles to the sec­ondposition. If excessiveseedcrackingoccurs, lower
the handles to the third position. For seed-cup clean
out, move the handles to the fourth, wide-open posi­tion. Make sure all handles are in the same position
before drilling.

4. Check Seeding Rate

a. Place severalpounds ofseed overthe three seed

cups on the outside end of the drill box.

b. Disconnectthe seedtubesfrom thethreeopeners

fed by the covered cups.
c. Raise the drill off the ground.
d. Record the empty weight of a container large

enough to hold the seed metered for one acre.
e. Turn gauge wheels until seed drops to the ground

from each cup.
f. Place a container under the three seed tubes to

gather the seed as it is metered.
g. Rotate the gauge wheel until one acre has been

tallied on the acremeter. This will be about 225 ro-

tations on a 24-foot drill and about 181 rotations

on a 30-foot drill. Check that the seed cups have

plenty of seed coming into them.
h. Weigh the metered seed. Subtract the initial

weight of the container. Divide by three. Multiply

by the number of openers on your drill for the

pounds-per-acre seeding rate. If this figure is dif-

ferent than desired, re-adjust the seed-rate han-

dle and recheck the rate.

5. Whensatisfiedwiththeseedingrate,repeat steps 1
through3 fortheother drill box,settingit to the same
rate.

Small Seeds Attachment

To set the seeding rate, referto the small-seeds-rate chart
on page 9. Move the seed-rate handle on the attachment
to the setting indicated on the chart.

To calibrate the attachment to your material, follow the
steps listed under Check Seeding Rate, this page.
