Row Unit Operation
Seed hopper has a capacity of 1.9 bushels.
Use clean seed and make certain there are no foreign objects inside when
filling seed hopper.
Replace hopper lids after hoppers are filled to prevent
accumulation of dust or dirt in seed meter which can cause premature wear.
See “Finger Pickup Seed Meter” and/or “Brush-Type Seed Meter”.
Periodically empty hoppers completely to remove any foreign objects and to ensure
proper seed meter operation.
Disengage meter drive and hopper latch and lift hopper off hopper support. See
“Seed Meter Drive Release”.
A clutch release mechanism disengages seed meter drive from seed
meter to remove seed hopper. Disconnecting drive allows operator to
check granular chemical application rates without dropping seed. It
also allows one or more rows to be disconnected when finishing fields.
Turn knob ¼ turn counterclockwise to disengage or ¼ turn clockwise
to engage.
Row unit extension brackets extend row units rearward 4" (10.2 cm) to
provide clearance for coulter mounted residue wheels and HD single
disc fertilizer openers.
