PLANTING SPEED
Planters are designed to operate within a speed range of 2 to 8 mph (3.2 - 12.8 kph). See “Rate Charts”. Variations in
ground speed produce variations in rates. Finger pickup seed meter populations tend to be disproportionately higher at
high ground speeds.
NOTE: Seed spacing can be adversely affected at speeds above 5.5 mph (8.8 kph).
FIELD TEST
Perform a field test with any change of field and/or planting conditions, seed size or planter adjustment to ensure
proper seed placement and operation of row units. See “Rate Charts”, “Checking Seed Population” and “Checking
Granular Chemical Application Rate”.
 Check planter for front to rear and lateral level operation. See “Level Planter”.
 Check all row units to be certain they are running level. Row unit parallel arms should be approximately parallel to
the ground when planting.
 Check row markers for proper operation and adjustment. See “Row Marker Adjustment” and “Row Marker Speed
Adjustment”.
 Check for proper application rates and placement of granular chemicals on all rows. See “Checking Granular
Chemical Application Field Check”.
 Check for desired depth placement and seed population on all rows. See “Check Seed Population”.
 Check for proper application rates of fertilizer on all rows. See proper “Fertilizer Application Rate Chart”.
Reinspect machine after field testing.
