3. Align clevis to hitch holes at new location and install hex head cap screw and lock nut. Tighten lock nut until

threads are fully engaged and hex head cap screw and lock nut are ﬁrmly against hitch bracket.

NOTE: On planters with push row units and no till coulters, uplift from down force springs or air springs in pneumatic down pressure system may cause wings to rise slightly in planting position. Problem may be compounded if static pressure is trapped in planter’s hydraulic lift system which can cause wing cylinders to extend slightly. Operating tractor’s hydraulic system in ﬂoat position or moving tractor’s hydraulic lever to ﬂoat position brieﬂy to relieve pressure will help maintain proper toolbar height.

4. Field check planter.

Field and actual planting conditions dictate which transport wheel setting to use so row unit parallel arms are parallel with ground. It may be necessary to lower ground drive wheels to ensure level lateral toolbar operation if transport wheels are set in one of the two lower sets of holes. Make a ﬁeld check when planter is fully loaded with seed, granular chemicals, fertilizer, etc. to be sure wings are level with center frame. If wings are not level with center frame, drive wheels and/or transport wheels can be raised or lowered in wheel arms to increase or decrease planter toolbar height. Raise hitch to ensure level operation.

Point row clutch

Electric-activated clutches disengage drive on either half of planter for ﬁnishing up ﬁelds or for long point row situations. Clutch selector switch is located on tractor control box.

NOTE: Liquid fertilizer piston pump has its own drive wheel and is not affected by point row clutch.

Clutch consists of a wrap spring riding on an input and output hub. Wrap spring is wrapped tightly over hubs during operation locking them together. Higher speeds create a tighter grip of spring on hubs.

Input end of spring is bent outward and is called the control tang. Control tang ﬁts into a slot in stop collar located between input and output hubs over wrap spring. If stop collar is allowed to rotate with input hub, clutch is engaged. If stop collar is stopped from rotating, control tang connected to it is forced back and spring opens. This allows input hub to continue rotating without transmitting torque to output hub, stopping planter drive.

Stop collar is controlled by an electric solenoid and an actuator arm. When selector switch on tractor control box is OFF, solenoid coil is NOT ENERGIZED and actuator arm will not contact stop on stop collar, allowing it to rotate with hubs and drive planter.

When “DISENGAGED” solenoid coil IS ENERGIZED and plunger in solenoid coil pulls actuator arm against stop on stop collar, disengaging wrap spring and stopping planter drive.

NOTE: Seeds may bounce or roll when planting with closing wheels raised and planting depth set shallow affecting seed spacing accuracy.

4. Count seeds in measured distance.

5. Multiply number of seeds placed in  of an acre by 1000. This gives total population.

Seed count can be affected by drive wheel and seed meter drive ratio, tire pressure, and/or seed meter malfunction.

1. If seed check shows average distance between seeds in inches is signiﬁcantly different than seed rate chart indicates, ﬁrst check drive ratio between drive wheel and seed meter. Check drive wheel air pressure, check for incorrect sprocket(s) in driveline and check drive and driven sprockets on transmission(s) for proper selection.

2. Check for seed meter malfunction. For example, if spacing between kernels of corn at the transmission setting being used is 8" and a gap of 16" is observed, a ﬁnger has lost its seed and not functioned properly. If two seeds are found within a short distance of each other, ﬁnger has metered two seeds instead of one.

3. See “Seed Meter (Finger Pickup)” on page 7-8 or “Seed Meter (Brush-Type)” on page 7-5 in Troubleshooting Section of this manual.

GRAPHITE

The use of graphite is the primary recommendation to promote seed ﬂow, provide lubrication for the seed meter and to help dissipate static charge buildup. Among the available dry seed lubricants graphite is the most effective and easiest to use and it requires no mechanical agitation

Conventional Hoppers Mix one tablespoon of powdered graphite with seed each time hoppers are ﬁlled. Regular graphite use prolongs life of the seed meter components, improves seed spacing, and may reduce buildup of seed treatments.

NOTE: DO NOT apply graphite only in center of hopper. It will ﬁlter too quickly through the seed and not distribute as evenly as desired.

Apply graphite around outer perimeter of hopper.

Bulk Fill Hoppers Mix 1 pound bottle of powdered graphite each time the bulk seed hopper is ﬁlled. Graphite should be added in layers as the bulk seed hoppers are ﬁlled. Regular graphite use prolongs life of the seed meter components, improves seed spacing, and may reduce buildup of seed treatments.

Adding graphite to conventional hopper Adding graphite bulk ﬁll hopper

NOTE: Additional graphite may be required to retard buildup of seed treatments on meter components. More frequent cleaning of monitor seed tubes may be necessary due to use of additional graphite.

80/20 TALC-GRAPHITE Talc-Graphite lubricant is to be used for treated seed, providing beneﬁts of both talc and graphite. It absorbs mositure to prevent bridging, minmizes static electricity for improved seed ﬂow, and lubricates seed and meters.

Conventional Hoppers Mix ½ C. of 80/20 talc-graphite evenly with seed each time hoppers are ﬁlled. Regular graphite use prolongs life of the seed meter components, improves seed spacing, and may reduce buildup of seed treatments.

NOTE: Talc-Graphite lubricant MUST be mixed evenly during ﬁll.

Bulk Fill Hoppers Mix 8 lbs. of 80/20 talc-graphite each time the bulk seed hopper is ﬁlled. Regular graphite use prolongs life of the seed meter components, improves seed spacing, and may reduce buildup of seed treatments.

NOTE: Talc-Graphite lubricant MUST be mixed evenly during ﬁll.

TALC

Talc seed lubricant may be used as a drying agent in addition to graphite lubrication. The drying agent may improve seed release and/or to retard buildup of seed treatments on meter components.

1. Fill hopper ½ full of seed, add ¼ cup (conventional); 2 pounds (Bulk Fill) of talc and mix thoroughly.

2. Finish ﬁlling hopper, add another ¼ cup (conventional); 2 pounds (Bulk Fill) of talc and mix thoroughly.

3. Adjust rate of talc use as needed so all seeds are coated, while avoiding a buildup of talc in bottom of hopper.

Humid conditions and/or small sized seeds with extra seed treatment may require additional talc to maintain meter performance.

NOTE: Liquid seed treatments or innoculants may create buildup on the seed disc or brushes. Check frequently for proper population and/or seed delivery when using any liquid seed treatment.

Completely mix all treatments with seed following manufacturers’ recommendations. Seed treatment dumped on top of seed after hopper is ﬁlled may not mix properly and cause seed bridging, reducing population or stopping meter from planting.

BAYER FLUENCY AGENT

Bayer Fluency Agent is an alternate seed lubricant by Bayer Crop Science. The intent of this product is to replace graphite and talc lubricants and to lower the amount of dust emissions from planter vacuum fans.

This product, as tested by Kinze, is compatible with Kinze’s bulk ﬁll system and vacuum meters. Due to limited testing, wear life characteristics of meters and bulk ﬁll systems that use Bayer Fluency Agent are not yet known. Please follow Bayer Fluency Agent instructions for rates and mixing directions.

NOTE: Presently, Bayer Fluency Agent is only required to be used in Canada with Bulk Fill or Vacuum planters that plant corn or beans treated with neonicotinoids. Farms outside of Canada, farms not using seed treated with neonicotinoids, and farms not using pneutmatic metering devices do not need to use Bayer Fluency Agent. All planters not equipped with vacuums or fans are exempt from using Bayer Fluency Agent.

ROW UNIT MOUNTED NO TILL COULTER

Row unit mounted no till coulters with 1" bubbled, 1" ﬂuted (8 ﬂutes) or ¾" ﬂuted (13 ﬂutes) blades may be used on pull row units and push row units (¾" ﬂuted shown). Four quick adjustable down force springs are required per row when using row unit mounted no till coulters. See “Quick Adjustable Down Force Springs Options”.

Align coulter blade to row unit double disc openers. Adjust by loosening four attaching bolts, moving coulter arm, and tightening four attaching bolts. Coulter blade can be adjusted to one of four ½" incremental settings in the forked arm. Initial location is the top hole.

Row Unit Mounted No Till Coulter

Move blade as it wears to one of the three lower hole to maintain coulter blade at or slightly above opener discs as required. Adjust coulter below depth of double disc opener blades in very hard soil conditions such as compacted wheel tracks to improve opener penetration and cutting of surface residue.

Check operating depth by setting planter down on a level concrete ﬂoor and checking relationship between coulter blade and row unit opener blade. Make sure planter is level and coulter is square with planter frame and aligned with row unit disc opener.

GFX HYDRAULIC ROW CLEANERS

Pressurized hydraulic ﬂuid can penetrate

WARNING

Run the minimum ﬂow rate necessary. Generally this is a setting of .5-.7 with maximum ever being used being about 1.5. This is on a scale of 1-10, most tractors will be using less than 10% of available ﬂow. Any additional ﬂow will simply waste power and also increase stress and temperature on control manifold, valves and also the tractor oil temperature.

BLEEDING HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT AND INITIAL OPERATION

Model 3660M0260-01

Gfx hydraulic row cleaners were designed to bleed the hydraulic circuit by purging air out of system from either end of tool bar. In practice it will be virtually impossible to completely bleed system in the shop. A certain amount of air will need to work itself out over time. To sufﬁciently bleed the system use the following procedure.

1. Make sure that pressure setting in system is set to it’s minimum by moving pressure control knob on control box counter-clockwise until it stops, or in the (0) setting. A minimum amount of pressure should be running during bleeding process.

2. Using the " cap nut at each end of the tool bar, open BOTH ends slightly at this time.

3. Keep knob on Dawn digital control box at zero and tune the tractors SCV hydraulic control to 1-2 GPM (gallons per minute) or at about 5% of maximum ﬂow.

4. Gradually increase pressure setting on electronic control knob until a slow steady stream of ﬂuid is ﬂowing from bleed adapters. There should be surging coming out of bleed adapters at this point. Continue the bleed process until surging stops and clean ﬂuid begins coming out.

5. When clean hydraulic ﬂuid ﬂows freely from bleed adapter, close bleed valves. Cycle circuit a few times using digital control knob, then re-open " cap nuts to release air bubbles.

START UP

1. Turn on SCV to hydraulic row cleaner.

2. Turn row cleaner adjustment dial to zero, and then turn on electrical switch on side of control box.

3. Adjust dial on control box to achieve desired down force; clockwise to increase, counter-clockwise to decrease.

4. To operate turn control knob and apply as much pressure as necessary to achieve desired level of row cleaning.

SHUT DOWN

1. Turn row cleaner adjustment dial to zero.

2. Always turn electrical power switch on side of control box to off position before turning off tractor hydraulic SCV.

NOTE: Failure to follow this order will trap pressure in the row cleaner hydraulic accumulators.

3. Turn off tractor SCV.

NOTE: Seed size and type affect the output rate of the meter. For a method to improve the population accuracy with your desired seed, please see the following pages.

NOTE: See “Mechanical Meter General Planting Rate Information” and “Check Seed Population” pages for additional information.

NOTE: When using Half Rate (2 To 1) Drive Reduction Package, rates are approximately 50% of given numbers.

NOTE: Always ﬁeld check seed population to ensure planting rates are correct.

To more accurately predict population when using the 54 Cell Wheat disc, two things are needed:

1. Seeds/gram

2. Grams/revolution of seed disc

Seeds per gram can be found by weighing a small sample of desired seed (a cup or less) and counting number of seeds in sample.

Seeds

Grams weight of sample in grams

To ﬁnd grams/revolution a gram scale, a stopwatch, a small container to catch seed, and a method for spinning the meter at a constant, known rpm (see your local Kinze dealer with a T4000 Seed Meter Test Stand) are needed.

1. Zero gram scale with the small container on it.

2. Load meter with correct disc.

3. Load meter with desired seed.

4. Start spinning meter at a known, constant rpm.

5. Start stopwatch as you place container under meter.

6. Catch seed with container for 10-30 seconds.

7. Stop the stopwatch as you remove container from underneath meter.

8. Weigh container.

9. Enter meter rpm, weight of sample, and duration of sample collection into the equation below:

EX: For a sample taken for 30 seconds with meter spinning at 50rpm and weighs 293 grams

10. Find desired output rate. For seeds per acre, use seeds/rev. For pounds per acre, use lbs/rev.

11. Find the correct population factor by dividing the desired population by the measured output rate.

Seeds/acre:

pounds/acre:

12. Find the closest Population Factor in the Rate Chart to identify the correct transmission sprockets. For the examples list above, the closest Population Factor is 2142.22 which corresponds to a 27 tooth Drive sprocket and 28 tooth Driven sprocket.
