Tips and practices for best accuracy

In order to achieve the greatest accuracy in seed dispensing weight, fill the
planter hopper(s) in the most consistent manner as possible.

• Dispense seed on level ground.
• Avoid areas of high wind.
• Fill all planter hoppers in the same manner. The auger and seed

chute will hold more seed when fully extended than when vertical,
and may change the weight of the seed dispensed.

• When filling with a fully extended seed chute, the auger tolerance

(DAN 442) may need increasing compared to filling the same planter
with a short chute.

• The seed chute should rest on or against the planter hopper the

same way for every fill.

• Do not let the seed chute hang free or rest on the seed as it is filling.
• For fast moving augers or conveyors, a restrictor plate may be

required from your seed tender manufacturer to better control the
seed dispensing rate.

• When using seed boxes, adjust the slide door to slow down the seed

dispensing rate if needed.

• Adjust the tolerance for the seed type and weight being used.
