Singulated Planting Overview

The information in this section covers important setup and checking information that applies to both:

Singulator Plus (wheel, at left in Figure 2) meters and Finger Pickup meters (at right in Figure 2).

There are additional Sections for each meter. See also:

“Finger Meter Planting” on page 14 and “Singulator Plus™ Meter Planting” on page 7.

Singulating planting employs the seed monitor in “PLANTER CONTROL” mode. Volumetric planting uses “GRAN SEED CONTROL” or “granular” mode, and is covered at “Volumetric Meter Planting” on page 24.

Population Risk:

If the seed monitor is presently in GRAN SEED mode, follow the setup instructions carefully. Switching between seeding modes can cause some planter conﬁguration values to be reset to defaults that are incorrect for your planter.

Population Reference Information

Seeds per Unit

If only pounds/acre (kilograms/hectare) is known, obtain the population count by multiplying the population weight by the “Kernels per pound” value from the seed container.

Example: Milo

Target rate: 4.5 pounds/acre Seed density: 14500 seeds/pound Population: = Rate x Density

= 4.5 x 14500, or: 65250 seeds/acre

Seed Spacing

If only seed spacing is known, use the tables on pages 5, 6 and 54 to determine population.

1. For your crop, determine your intended population, in seeds/acre or seeds/hectare. If you know only the population, the charts on page 5 and 54 correlate population to seed spacing for several row spacings.

2. For your crop, population and desired ﬁeld speed, verify the suitability and setup of your meter type, and seed wheel part number or ﬁnger count.

Control Operator’s Manual for details on setup item.

3. Verify, and as necessary setup or update the “Material” record for the singulated seed to be planted.

The table at right lists the parameters that need to be reviewed or set. Values in <angle brackets> are at your choice or preference.

4. Verify, and as necessary setup or update the “Channel” assigned to the planter’s hydraulic drive.

If the monitor resets to defaults, Gear Ratio may be incorrect.

Count rows individually for “# Seed Rows”. A twin pair (if both openers are in use) counts as 2 rows.

“Channel Width” is swath (number of active rows times spacing between active rows), for example:

465 in = 31 rows x 15in per row.

For twin rows, count twin pairs and pair-to-pair spacing, for example:

480 in = 16 twin pairs (32 rows) x 30 in pair spacing

5. In the Material Library screen, makes sure that the Material (SOYBEANS in our example) is assigned to the Channel (Ch 1 in our example) which controls the planter’s hydraulic drive.

6. Perform a Valve Calibration for the control channel.

7. Switch the seed monitor from Setup/Conﬁguration mode to Operate mode. Load seed. Move the planter to the ﬁeld.

8. Verify your planting rate per the instructions in the next topic. If the results are consistent with your setup, plant the crop.

Checking Planting Rate

Although your seed monitor will report useful full pass results, cautious practice includes manually checking the seed rate early in the ﬁrst pass.

The seed charts are based on cleaned and sized seed. Extreme seed variations, foreign material and tire pressure can materially affect planting rate.

Checking the rate also provides a double-check on your population calculations and drive conﬁguration.

The procedure is different for singulated seeding (this page) and volumetric seeding (page 26).

Seed Rate Check Sample Size

(U.S. customary units. See page 53 for metric.)

Checking Singulated Rate

1. Using the table above, determine the length and number of rows to check. For twin-row operation, a pair of row units counts as one row.

2. Adjust the planting depth to shallow on that number of rows units. Using center and wing-end row units for measurement provides a more accurate assessment of overall planter performance. Pick center units outside wheel tracks.

3. Use bungees or wire to tie-up the press wheel assembly on the tested row units, so that the seed is not covered. Tie up both in a pair for twin-row.

4. Operate the planter for the distance in the table, plus a few feet or meters for the press wheels to clear the end of the sample distance.

5. Count the number of seeds in the test rows.

6. Multiply the total number of seeds counted by 200 if measuring for1⁄

⁄

acre. This is the plant population in seeds per

1000

acre.

7. If the populated is substantially different than expected, see “Troubleshooting” in the planter Operator Manual.

Singulator Plus™ Meter Planting

Follow the steps in “Singulated Planting Overview” on page 2. At step 2 on page 2, follow the instructions in this section, which are speciﬁc to Singulator Plus™ meters when used with singulating seed wheels.

Volumetric planting with Singulator Plus™ meters is covered beginning on page 24. Singulated planting with ﬁnger pickup meters is covered beginning on page 14.

Maximum recommended speed is 7 miles per hour (11.3 kph), based on maximum meter rpms.

Excess speeds are known to deteriorate seed spacing control and depth control.

For your crop, verify that you have the correct seed wheels, and that your population and proposed ﬁeld speed are within limits for that wheel. See “Reading a Singulated Rate Chart” below.

When ordering seed wheels, note that there are different part numbers for: 10HD/25P Series ( wheels) and 20P Series ( wheels).

Reading a Singulated Rate Chart

• Consult the chart for your crop, meter wheel, cell count, and row spacing. Some crops have multiple seed wheels and pages.

• Find the table section for your row spacing.

• For your proposed ground speed, make sure your population or seed spacing is within range.

• Note minimum and maximum meter wheel rpms for that population.

• Enter the population and wheel cell count in the seed monitor.

Finger Meter Planting

Follow the steps in “Singulated Planting Overview” on page 2. At step 2 on page 2, follow the instructions in this section, which are speciﬁc to ﬁnger pickup meters.

Recommended maximum speed is 6 miles per hour (11.2 kph), based on meter rpm limits.

Excess speeds are known to deteriorate seed spacing control and depth control.

a. For your proposed ground speed, check that your

proposed population is within rpm limits for your 6- or 12-ﬁnger meters (this section, pages 15 and 77).

b. Set your meter brushes for your material (page 17).

c. If planting twin row, and indexing is desired, set the

stagger between the rows of each pair (page 19).

If you are planting indexed twin row, at “Singulated Planting Overview” step 8 on page 3, also check the row-to-row seed spacing in each row pair. As necessary:

d. Adjust the stagger between pair rows using the

instructions beginning on page 22.

Finger Meter Brush Adjustment

The ﬁnger pick up meter has an adjustable brush.

The brush reduces or eliminates “doubles” (delivering two seeds per ﬁnger), but if set too aggressively can cause “skips” (delivering no seed on some ﬁngers). As needed, adjust for minimal doubles and skips.

Refer to Figure 6

The adjustable brush provides additional ﬂexibility to accommodate a wide range of seed sizes. Use lever

to gently rotate the brush into position.

The settings range from 1 to 5 with detents at each half step, for a total of 9 detents. The factory default setting is 21⁄2. Although the numbers are molded into the meter housing, only “1” and “5” may be visible. To ensure consistency, rotate the lever fully counter-clockwise

(1), and count detents as you advance it to the desired setting.

Use the general guidelines in the table at right to adjust the brush position to your seed size and shape. The numbers listed correspond to the numbers printed on the outer housing of your meter.

If there is a decal on your meter, its units are in pounds per 80,000 seed bag. The table below includes seeds per pound.

Figure 6

Finger Meter Brush Lever

Note: These instructions describe the current ﬁnger

pickup meter shipped with new Great Plains planters, which has an integrated adjustment lever for the brush. If you have added pre-existing ﬁnger meters after purchase, there is some chance that you may have previous model meters, adjusted by screwdriver rather than lever. If so, rely on counting detents to determine the setting. Not all have 9 detents.

Finger Meter Inserts

Refer to Figure 7

The backing plate is equipped with an “A” insert . In tests, this insert provides the best performance in most seed sizes. However, there are two alternative inserts that can be used. Before changing to a different insert, please consult with a Great Plains service representative for a recommendation.

The identiﬁcation of the insert type is molded into the back of the insert.

Meter Performance Risk:

Be cautious in using seed treatments, additives, and other chemicals when possible. They can cause meter performance problems and premature wear to meter parts.

Avoid the use of graphite with untreated seeds. If graphite must be used, use Precision®Planting graphite or Great Plains graphite which is less abrasive. Seeds with Maxi, Captan, Cruiser, Poncho and similar treatments can beneﬁt from graphite. Use the amount recommended on the graphite container, usually 1 tsp(5ml)/unit or 1 tsp/80,000 seeds.

Figure 7

Finger Meter Insert

Always store meters in a dry, secure place, with brush in between two meter ﬁngers. Moisture, temperature, nest-building insects and rodents can create problems.

Always pay attention to your seed monitor and operating manual. Monitor the amount of seed you are planting compared to your expectations. Always investigate abnormalities!

Finger Meter Sprocket Indexing (Stagger)

This topic applies only to ﬁnger meters.

28420

If you are planting:

• ﬁnger-metered,

• twin-row crops,

• at seed interval spacings above 61⁄2 inches (16.5 cm), you can synchronize each pair of adjacent meters in a twin row so that you achieve the maximum seed-to-seed spacing between the units of the pair.

If you are planting:

- single-row,

- or with singulating meters,

- or a volumetric crop,

- or twin row with seed spacings below 61⁄2in (16.5 cm), this section of the manual, and the sprocket indexing charts, do not apply to your operations.

Figure 8

Sprocket Indexing

If the initial indexing does not provide equal spacing, see “Indexing Fine Adjustment” on page 22.

Refer to Figure 8

1. Find the chart for your row spacing, meter ﬁnger count and desired seed population. Note the “Tooth Number” value for the “Rear Meter” in the far right column.

2. Remove both meters of a row unit pair. Note that tooth 1 and many of the other teeth on the driven

sprockets , are stamped with a tooth number.

On front row unit:

3. Relax idlers on front meter drive by lifting the spring off the rear post .

4. Lift chain off driven sprocket , and rotate sprocket so that tooth 1 is as close as possible to straight up (TDC: top dead center, 12:00 position).

5. Re-engage chain and idlers, making sure chain is taut at top, and that sprocket tooth 1 has not shifted off TDC.

1 2

On rear row unit:

6. Relax idlers on rear meter drive by lifting the spring off the rear post .

7. Lift chain off driven sprocket , and rotate sprocket so that the tooth number called for in the chart is at TDC (or is the same as the front row sprocket).

8. Re-engage chain and idlers, making sure chain is taut at top, and that the designated sprocket tooth has not shifted off TDC.

9. Re-install meters. No particular wheel orientation is required during meter installation. The meter engagement is symmetrical, and the results identical no matter how the coupler captures the meter shaft.

Sprocket Indexing Charts

1. For: your 6- or 12-ﬁnger meter, and your twin row spacing (30in on this page) ﬁnd your seed rate in the Population column, or your seed spacing in the Seed Spacing column. Seed spacing is seed-to-seed within a single row of a twin row pair.

2. At the front/forward row unit of a pair, set the driven (ﬁnal) sprocket of the meter drive so that tooth stamped #1 is straight up (TDC, 12:00 position).

3. At the rear/trailing row unit of the pair, set the driven sprocket so that the tooth number at “Rear Meter” is in the straight up 12:00 position.

These charts are in U.S. customary units. See page 78 for metric charts (70cm twin row).

Indexing Fine Adjustment

If, after indexing, the twin-row side-to-side seed stagger is substantially imbalanced, it is possible to make small adjustments that may correct it. Imbalance can occur over time as row unit chains wear and stretch.

The procedure is different for 6- and 12-ﬁnger meters.

If an adjustment is made, test it on one row pair before adjusting the entire planter.

Before making any Indexing Adjustments:

• Check actual planted seed spacing. Seed Spacing is

found by measuring the distance between 25 correctly planted seeds in one row and dividing by 24. (A visible skip or double is counted as one seed.)

• Make sure the current front sprocket index is 1, and

the current rear sprocket index number matches the number in the indexing chart for actual seed spacing being planted.

6-Finger Meter Stagger Adjustment

Find your current indexing value row in the chart on page 20.

Each (sprocket tooth) number directly above or below the current rear meter sprocket setting in the right most column of the seed indexing chart represents a small movement of the rear row seed relative to the front row seed.

Changing rear your sprocket to the next number up in the chart retards, moving each rear row seed back a small amount.

Changing rear sprocket to the next number down in the chart advances, moving each rear row seed ahead a small amount.

Example 1:

The 6 Finger, Twin Row 30in planting population is 32000 or 13.1in seed spacing. The chart setting for the rear sprocket is [ 15 ]. Each rear row seed should fall

6.6in behind the front row seed.

If each rear row seed measures only 5in behind the front row seed, reset the rear meter sprocket to the next number up in the chart [ 12 ]. This moves the rear seeds back to make the stagger closer to 6.6in.

Example 2:

The 6 Finger, Twin Row 30in planting population is 32000 or 13.1in seed spacing. The chart setting for the rear sprocket is [ 15 ]. Each rear row seed should fall

6.6in behind front row seed.

If each rear row seed measures 9in behind the front row seed, reset the rear meter sprocket to the next number down in the chart [ 18 ]. This moves the rear seeds ahead to make the stagger closer to 6.6in.

12-Finger Meter Stagger Adjustment

Before making any Indexing Adjustments, check actual planted seed spacing. Seed Spacing is found by

measuring the distance between 25 correctly planted seeds in one row and dividing by 24. (A visible skip or double should be counted as one seed.) Make sure current front index is 1, and current rear sprocket index number matches the number in the indexing chart for actual seed spacing being planted.

Find your current indexing value row in the chart on page 20.

Changing rear your sprocket to the next number down in the chart retards, moving each rear row seed back a small amount.

Changing rear sprocket to the next number up in the chart advances, moving each rear row seed ahead a small amount.

Example 1:

The 12 Finger Twin Row 30in planting population is 37000 or 11.3n seed spacing. The chart setting for the rear sprocket is [ 3 ]. Each rear row seed should fall 5.6in behind the front row seed.

If each rear row seed measures 7in behind the front row seed, reset the rear meter sprocket to the next number down in the chart [ 14 ]. This will move the rear seeds ahead and make the stagger closer to 5.6in.

Example 2:

The 12 Finger Twin Row 30in planting population is 37000 or 11.3in seed spacing. The chart setting for the rear sprocket is [ 3 ]. Each rear row seed should fall 5.6in behind the front row seed.

If each rear row seed measures 4in behind the front row seed, reset the rear meter sprocket to the next number up in the chart [ 11 ]. This will move the rear seeds back to make the stagger closer to 5.6in.

Volumetric Meter Planting

In Singulator Plus™ planting with volumetrica seed wheels, planting rate is determined by:

• row spacing

• crop and seed variant

• meter wheel selection, and

• meter drive conﬁguration (which relies on the “pounds

per meter revolution” data in the following tables).

There are no other adjustments, but to achieve the desired rate, calibration is strongly recommended, and there is a recommended range of meter rpms, which affects the range of ground speeds, shown in the following tables. The optimal rpm varies with meter wheel and seed type.

Volumetric planting uses “GRAN SEED CONTROL” or “granular” mode. Singulated planting employs the seed monitor in “PLANTER CONTROL” mode, and is covered at “Singulated Planting Overview” on page 2.

Figure 11

Volumetric Seed Wheels

29344

Population Risk:

If the seed monitor is presently in PLANTER CONTROL mode, follow the setup instructions carefully. Switching between seeding modes can cause some planter conﬁguration values to be reset to defaults that are incorrect for your planter.

1. For your crop, determine your intended population, in pounds/acre or kg/hectare.

2. For your crop, population and desired ﬁeld speed, verify the suitability of your seed wheel at the intended population and ﬁeld speed. See “Reading a Volumetric Chart” on page 28.

Note: If a rate/speed table is not provided for your crop,

that crop has not yet been tested on the YP30/40 Planter planter.

3. Verify, and as necessary setup or update the “Material” record for the granular seed to be planted.

The table at right lists the parameters that need to be reviewed or set. Values in <angle brackets> are at your choice or preference.

Note: “Spreader Constant” is a critical value, and must be

established by calibration. Do not plant with the default value for this item. No entry is require if calibration is planned prior to planting (page 26).

Otherwise, enter a value from a previous calibration of the same wheels, seed and seed variety. If these is any chance that the seed batch varies from the prior calibration, re-calibrate.

4. Verify, and as necessary setup or update the “Channel” assigned to the planter’s hydraulic drive.

If the monitor resets to defaults, Gear Ratio may be incorrect.

Count rows individually for “# Seed Rows”. A twin pair (if both openers are in use) counts as 2 rows.

“Channel Width” is swath (number of active rows times spacing between active rows).

5. In the Material Library screen, makes sure that the Material (WHEAT HRW in our example) is assigned to the Channel (Ch 1 in our example) which controls the planter’s hydraulic drive.

6. Perform a Valve Calibration for the control channel.

7. Switch the seed monitor from Setup/Conﬁguration mode to Operate mode. Load seed. Move the planter to the ﬁeld.

8. Verify your planting rate per the instructions in the next topic. If the results are consistent with your setup, plant the crop.

Calibrating Volumetric Rate Spreader Constant

Calibration (which determines the Spreader Constant) is required for accurate planting of volumetric (GRAN) seed.

Volumetric seeds are planted at much higher populations than singulated seeds, and are measured in pounds or kilograms (rather than seeds) per acre or hectare. The seed tube sensors are generally not capable of counting every seed at typical volumetric rates (although they do report blockage).

For volumetric calibration, the tractor must to be hitched to the planter, and providing electrical power. Leave all hydraulic circuits in Neutral until instructed to activate the drive circuit.

1. You will need a light weight container for each row sampled, and a scale that is accurate at the expected sample weight. Great Plains recommends using enough rows and/or revolutions to generate a sample of about 10 pounds (4.5 kg), ideally:

• Use at least two rows.

• Use no fewer than 5 meter revolutions.

2. Determine the meter revolutions needed. The following equation gives the number of meter revolutions needed to meter 10 pounds. The table on page 44 provides approximate pounds (and kg) per revolution of each wheel and seed.

#MeterRevs

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

RowsSampled PoundsPerRev×

Planter Section Movement Hazard:

Hydraulic circuits are active for calibration. Unexpected movement of planter mainframe, sections, markers, and unexpected activation of devices connected to the auxiliary hydraulics can occur if controls are not correctly pre-set and left untouched. Keep everyone clear of planter while calibrating.

Population Risk:

Calibrate - Planting volumetric seed based only on chart data is risky. Your material, and your ﬁeld results, can vary substantially from the test material used to generate the charts. Great Plains strongly recommends calibration.

For Example 4 containers each weighing: 8 oz.

8 oz x 4 = 32 oz

For example: planter: YP4025-3115, 15 rows

wheel: 403-118D WHEAT NARROW crop: Hard Red Winter wheat

PoundsPerRev: 0.078 RowsSampled:4

10 ÷ (4 x 0.078) = 32

Enter 32 for “# Meter Revs” at step 11 on page 27.

3. Conﬁgure the seed monitor for the planter and crop (material). If the seed density is not known, use 1 lb/cu-ft or 1 lb/bu.

4. Consult the rate chart for the crop. Note the allowed Meter RPM range for the intended seed wheel and planting speed (see “Reading a Volumetric Chart” on page 28).

5. Select the section and rows to be sampled.

6. Use the clutches to disconnect the other sections of the planter. This eliminates the need to uncouple the meters on those sections.

7. Disengage the drive couplers on all other meters on the test section, except the meters to be used for testing.

401-571B Contents Metric Rates 2014-03-13

For example: target population: 110 lbs/ac

desired speed: 5 mph METER RPM 5 rpm minimum, 35 rpm maximum Target Meter rpm: 30

8. Raise the planter, and install the lift cylinder transport locks. Leave the tractor hydraulic system active.

9. Activate the hydraulic drive circuit. Command the planter seed monitor to: FILL DISK

10. Place a collection bucket under each test meter’s seed tube.

11. In the Spreader Constant Calibration screen, enter the “# Meter Revs” and press the [Start] button.

12. Weigh the containers plus seed (GrossWeight). Subtract the empty container weights to obtain the net weight.

NetWeight GrossWeight ContainerWeight–=

13. The seed monitor assumes that all rows were tested. If you tested fewer (commonly the case), scale the sample size to planter-wide:

NetWeight RowCount×

AmountDispensed

--------------------------------------------------------

RowsSampled

14. Enter the Amount Dispensed. The seed monitor computes a new Spreader Constant.

Note: If the net weight of the metered sampled was

dramatically different than expected, run another calibration to validate or revise the new spreader constant.

15. Re-engage couplers on disabled meters.

Moving Chain Hazard:

Shafts turn and chains move as soon as the [Start] softkey is pressed on the seed monitor. Set up collection containers so that they may be unattended. Keep all persons clear of the planter while calibrating.

For example: ContainerWeight: 2 lbs

GrossWeight: 12.88 lbs

12.88 - 2 = 10.88

NetWeight: 10.88 lbs

For example: NetWeight: 10.88 lbs

RowCount: 31 RowsSampled: 4

(10.88 x 31) ÷ 4 = 84.34 lbs

AmountDispensed: 84.34

Reading a Volumetric Chart

1. Using the rate range charts on pages 29-43 or 61-75, ﬁnd the chart for your seed, in this example, Hard Red Winter Wheat.

2. Find your row spacing at right side of the chart, 10 inch single row in this example.

3. The speed and rate ranges are determined by allowable meter rpms. Enter the Meter RPM limits in the seed monitor to set alarms for operations that are too slow or too fast.

4. With your desired seed population in mind (for example, 110 pounds/ac), note at which ﬁeld speeds that population remains in range. These are the ranges, in pounds per acre, within which the seed is metered accurately. In this example, speeds of 4 to 6 mph are in range for the “NARROW” wheel, and 6 to 8 mph are in range for the “WIDE” wheel. Assuming that a slower speed is desired, choose the “NARROW” wheel.

5. Verify that you have the correct seed wheel for the chart, WHEAT NARROW in this example. When ordering seed wheels, note that there are different part numbers for: 10HD/25P Series ( wheels) and 20P Series ( wheels).

7. The tables on pages 29-43 or 61-75 are insufﬁcient for setting the seed monitor to control the ground drive. The monitor also needs a ﬁgure for meter throughput. Running a calibration (page 26) is the easiest way to ensure that your material is accurately applied.

Fertilizer Rate

The YP30/40 Planter planter optionally includes one or two fertilizer manifolds:

Type 2 - single section, single inlet, and/or

Type 3 - three section, three inlet and may include one ground-driven pump for the Type 2 manifold.

The Type 2 manifold may be supplied by tanks on the planter, or tanks off the planter, typically a semi-mounted trailing tank cart or the 400 gallon tank on a trailing PFC2000 tank cart.

The Type 3 manifold is designed to use an off-planter pump and tank, typically the PFC1600 or PFC2000 tank cart.

Fertilizer rate is independent of seed rate. Fertilizer rates are set by the pump system(s). On-planter ground drive pump operations are described on page 49 and in the YP30/40 Planter Operator Manual. Off-planter pump operations are described in the tank manual.

Manifold systems include oriﬁce plates at each row unit drop line. Each fertilizer system normally includes a pressure relief valve and strainer. These components affect consistency of ﬂow across all rows.

Note: Great Plains recommends checking with your local

Agronomist as soil conditions vary. Soil conditions in your area may need lesser or more amounts of fertilizer than represented in these charts. Do not exceed 12 gallons/ac (112 liters/Ha) in any case.

Orifice Plate Size 20 28 34 48 59 80 98

Oriﬁce Plate Selection

Refer to Figure 12

Oriﬁce plates at each drop line nozzle provide back-pressure that balances ﬂow in the manifolds, assuring that each row obtains the same ﬂow rate. For a given rate, there may be more than one oriﬁce size that provides the recommended back-pressure.

Plates are provided with the system(s) in three sizes. Additional sizes are available.

In general, the oriﬁce needs to be small enough to create a minimum pressure in the manifold but large enough to prevent the manifold pressure from exceeding the maximum:

15psi min., 15-40 optimal, 65 psi max.

Using an oriﬁce size too large can result in unequal ﬂow at rows. Using a size too small can cause excess back-pressure resulting in material dumping at the relief valve.

Determine Oriﬁce Size

The chart below. shows rate ranges for each Great Plains oriﬁce size and row spacing. You may need to change to the next higher or lower oriﬁce for a different fertilizer solution density and/or a different ground speed.

To reduce oriﬁce plugging and pump wear, use the largest oriﬁce practical for your fertilizer application rate.

Figure 12

Fertilizer Oriﬁce Plate

Agricultural Chemical Hazard:

Wear protective gloves when changing oriﬁce plates. Consult material manufacturer or supplier documents for proper handling and steps to take if skin contact occurs.

Material Loss/Equipment Damage Risk:

Set application rate at pump using pump drive chart., not by oriﬁce size. Oriﬁce size is only used to create 15-65 PSI back pressure to provide even ﬂow between rows. An oriﬁce size too small causes material loss at relief valve. A size too large can cause application imbalance across the planter.

Install Oriﬁce Plates

Refer to Figure 13

Insert the plate inside the gasket supplied with the nozzle . Insert the gasketed plate with the legend side facing out the nozzle outlet (typically up).

In general, the oriﬁce needs to be small enough to create enough pressure in the manifold to operate the check valves in the boom clamps, but not so much that the system dumps product at the boom relief valve.

The recommend operating pressure is: 15 to 40 psi

Using an oriﬁce size too large can result in unequal ﬂow at rows, intermittent ﬂow, and ﬂow stoppage at rows where pressure falls below the 8 psi required to open the clamp check valve. Using a size too small can cause excess back-pressure resulting in material dumping at the boom relief valve.

Use the same size at all active rows.

Row Shutoff

Refer to Figure 13

Unused drop lines may be shut off by replacing the nozzle with a Great Plains 832-042C cap . Twin row boom systems separately include caps for half the rows.

When installing a cap:

• It is not necessary to remove the gasketed oriﬁce plate

• Use a tie wrap or other line to secure the loose nozzle

• Adjust pump and/or oriﬁce plates for new rate and row

Mis-Application or Material Loss Risk:

Do not apply materials after row shut-off or row turn-on without ﬁrst reviewing setup. Merely changing the number of active rows does not change the application rate. If pump and/ or oriﬁce size changes are not also made, pressures could be too low or too high.

Strainer

Refer to Figure 14

A Banjo brand strainer is supplied with the ground drive fertilizer pump. It is plumbed before the Hypro pump. The standard 80 mesh screen should be suitable for most applications. Other screen sizes are available from Banjo Corporation.

Wear protective gloves when changing screens.

If changing screen sizes, keep in mind the following.

• A smaller mesh (100) will keep very small manifold oriﬁce plates from plugging so often. However, the screen will have to be cleaned more often.

• A larger mesh (50) or (30) will pass more material but should only be considered when using large manifold oriﬁce plates.

• A plugged or partially plugged screen will starve the pump resulting in a reduced application rate.

• Mesh sizes: (Smallest) 100, 80, 50, 30 (Largest)

Setting Relief Valve

A relief valve is plumbed after the pump outlet to protect the manifold and pump from excessive pressure. Any product that dumps over the relief valve will discharge from the dump line .

To set relief valve:

Refer to Figure 15

1. Unlock plastic jam nut from relief valve knob .

2. Unscrew knob clockwise until it loses contact with

internal spring.

3. Screw knob counterclockwise two turns. Start at this

setting.

4. Observe manifold gauge . Watch for relief valve

discharge while operating in the ﬁeld.

5. If valve is dumping product and gauge reads under

65 psi, stop tractor and turn knob clockwise (looking down)1⁄4 turn. Continue operating at normal ﬁeld speed. Repeat this step as needed until no product is discharged from relief valve.

6. If pressure gauge reads above 65 psi, change to a

larger oriﬁce. Go to step 2. Repeat steps.

Ground Drive Fertilizer Rate

One JohnBlue ground drive pump customarily supplies a Type 2 boom on the planter.

Equipment Damage Risk:

Contact wheel and chain system operate whenever the planter is lowered and in motion. If planting without fertilizing, the pump must not be allowed to run dry. Disconnect chain or remove sprocket.

Refer to Figure 16 and Figure 17

Coarse rate is set by a single “driving” sprocket on the ground drive assembly. Fine rate is set on a dial (setting

hub) at the pump, using a tool supplied with the pump.

Rate settings may be established in any of three ways:

• the table on the next page,

• the slide chart provided with the pump, or;

• a calculator on the JohnBlue internet web site (www.cds-johnblue.com)

1. Check plumbing setup. See “Setting Relief Valve”

and “Strainer” in the Operator Manual.

2. Determine Driving sprocket (15T or 47T) required

from table, slide chart or web calculator. If this sprocket is already installed on driven shaft, skip to step 7. Otherwise, to change sprocket, continue with step 3.

3. Remove knob and guard . Loosen idler , and

remove chain from lower jackshaft .

4. Select the new sprocket from the storage shaft .

Remove the pins, and exchange sprockets. Store the previous sprocket on the storage shaft.

5. Remount the chain . Re-engage idler , tightening

so that the longest span of the chain has1⁄4in (6mm) of slack.

6. Remount guard and secure with knob .

7. Using the box-wrench end of the JohnBlue

115681-01 tool, loosen the setting pointer nut .

8. Use the other end of the tool to rotate the dial to

the setting determined by table, slide chart or web.

9. Re-tighten pointer nut.

Ezee Glide Plus Lubricant

To maximize performance of Great Plains metering systems, it is imperative to use only “Ezee Glide Plus” lubricant.“Ezee Glide Plus” Talc-Graphite lubricant is mandatory for all seeds, especially treated or inoculated seed. Thorough mixing of seed and added lubricant

is required.

Recommended usage:

For clean seeds other than milo and cotton sprinkle one cup of Ezee Glide Plus Talc per 4 bushels or units (170 ml per 100 liters) of seed.

For milo and cotton double the application to one cup (or more) per 2 bu or units (335 ml per 100 liters) of seed.

Adjust this rate as necessary so all seeds become coated while avoiding an accumulation of lubricant in the bottom of the hopper.

For seed with excessive treatment, or for humid planting environments, increase the rate as needed for smooth meter operation.

Finger Pickup Meters

EZ-Slide Graphite Powder

821-042C bottle, 1 pound (450 grams) 821-060C jug, 5 pound (2.3 kg)

For Finger Pick Up Meters Only

Use only approved Graphite Powder available from Great Plains Mfg. Inc. or Precision Planting to ensure proper lubrication of ﬁnger pickup corn seed meters.

Recommended usage:

For ﬁnger pickup meters, add one tablespoon (15 ml) of graphite for each unit of seed corn (80,000 kernels).

In high humidity conditions, or seeds with heavy seed treatments, increase the application to two tbsp (30ml).

If delivery of seed from the hopper to the ﬁnger meter is an issue, add “Ezee Glide Plus” talc and graphite blend at a rate of one cup (237ml) per 4 units of seed. Adjust until issue is resolved.

Irritation and Chronic Exposure Hazard:

Wear gloves. DO NOT use hands or any part of your body to mix seed lubricant. Wear a respirator when transferring and mixing. Avoid breathing lubricant dust. Not an acute hazard. May cause mechanical eye or skin irritation in high concentrations. As with all mineral spills, minimize dusting during clean-up. Prolonged inhalation may cause lung injury. Product can become slippery when wet.

Sprocket Indexing Charts (Metric)

1. For: your 6- or 12-ﬁnger meter, and your twin row spacing (70cm on this page) ﬁnd your seed rate in the Population column, or your seed spacing in the Seed Spacing column. Seed spacing is seed-to-seed within a single row of a twin row pair.

2. At the front/forward row unit of a pair, set the driven (ﬁnal) sprocket of the meter drive so that tooth stamped #1 is straight up (TDC, 12:00 position).

3. At the rear/trailing row unit of the pair, set the driven sprocket so that the tooth number at “Rear Meter” is in the straight up 12:00 position.

These charts are for 70cm metric spacing. See page 20 for U.S. customary units.

Not Rate or Spacing Charts:

These are NOT seed rate or seed spacing charts. These are for staggering seed spacing between the rows of a twin row.

Note: For adjusting spacing between rows of the pair,

see “Indexing Fine Adjustment” on page 22.

Setting Error Risk:

Verify the 12:00 sprocket tooth position with the top length of chain taut.
