Alternate Flute Sets
The standard model ADC2350/E and ADC2350B/BE Air
Drill Carts have two fluted wheels (“stars”) and two filler
rings in each active meter compartment.
Alternate flute shafts are available for higher ( , ) rates
and for small seeds . These accessories replace the
existing 2-star shaft assembly with one having a
different star configuration. This provides different
seeding rates for the same Range and variable rate
gearbox setting. See “Changing Meter Flutes” on
page 66 for installation instructions.
If your seeding rates need to be higher than those listed
in the Seed Rate Manual, select one of the high rate
shafts.
• Replacing the standard 2-star shaft with a 3-star
shaft increases the seeding rate by approximately
50% (to 150% of standard rate).
• Replacing the standard 2-star shaft with a 4-star
shaft increases the seeding rate by approximately
double (to 200% of standard rate).
For small seeds (see list at right) or other seeds
substantially smaller than 12
×4.7 mm ( 1 ⁄
2
× 3 ⁄
16
inch), the
standard shaft may not provide sufficient precision and
uniform flow at very low rates. A small seeds flute
shaft
is available that provides two half-width shallow
flute stars per compartment.
• For compatible seeds, replacing the standard 2-star
shaft with the small seeds shaft reduces the
seeding rate by approximately 80% (to 20% of
standard rate).
The kit required depends on the number of towers on the
implement and the number of stars desired. Order one
kit per meter (two per air cart)
