Problem Solution
Uneven seed spacing or uneven
stand Check for plugging in seed cup.
Check to see if seed tubes are plugged.
Reduce ground speed.
Check opener disks to see they turn freely.
Use faster drive speed and close seed cup flutes to a more narrow
position.
Spring pressure on openers could be improperly adjusted causing
opener to not penetrate low spots.
Check for trash or mud build-up on Seed-Lok Wheel.
Opener disks not turning freely Check for trash/mud build-up on disk scraper. Readjust scraper.
Check to see if scraper is adjusted too tightly and is restricting disk
movement.
Check disk bearings.
Check opener frame for possible damage.
If opener disks turn freely by hand but not in field, reduce down pres-
sure on disk opener.
Check press wheel adjustment for seeding depth.
Actual seeding rate is different
than desired Check tire pressure. Proper inflation is listed in "Tire Inflation Chart,’
page 36.
Check gauge wheel size. Proper size is 9.5L x 15.
Seed treatment will affect seeding rate if the chemicals build up in
seed cup. Unless cleaned regularly, this build up can cause breakage
of the seed-cup shaft.
Check speed change box setting.
See "Seeding Adjustments," located in the seed rate book, for
instructions on calculating seed rate.
Excessive seed cracking Use slower drive speed and open flutes in seed cup to a wider posi-
tion.
Position seed-cup handles to a lower notch.
Acremeter doesn’t measure
accurately Check tire pressure. Proper inflation is listed on "Tire Inflation
Chart," page 36.
Check end gauge wheel tire size. Proper size is 9.5L x 15.
Check planting operation for excessive overlap or gaps between
passes.
Loose soil conditions and slippage will cause variations in acres reg-
istered.
To check accuracy of acremeter, see "Seeding Adjustments," in the
seed rate book.
Check to be sure your acremeter is for your width of drill.
