Small Seeds Attachment Rate
Small seeds attachment box planting rate is controlled
by:
• Seed Rate handle setting
Small seeds rate is independent of the Drive Type used
for main seed box planting. The small seeds cups do not
have doors to adjust.
Before setting the rate, raise the drill and rotate the
gauge wheels. Check that seed meters, seed tubes and
drives are working properly and are free from foreign
material.
The procedure for setting the main box rate is:
1. Consult the charts for your crop in the Seed Rate
manual. That provides the initial Rate Handle set-
tings.
2. Configure Seed Rate handle on one or both sides of
the drill.
3. Calibrate the drill for your specific seed.
4. Set both rate handles identically.

2. Slide handle until indicator is about 10 past the
desired value, then move it back to the desired value.

Small Seeds Rate Calibration
Note: You may need to increase seed cup setting for light-
er than average seed or decrease seed cup setting
for heavier than average seed.
Note: The seed rate charts are based on cleaned, un-
treated seed of average size and test weight. For
seed not listed on the charts, compare weight and
size to those listed and use a similar setting.
