Main Box: Singulator Plus Rates
Singulator Plus precision metered planting rate is deter-
mined by:
• Meter wheel selection
and with ground drive, by:
• Range sprockets, and;
• Transmission sprockets
There are no other adjustments. Hydraulic drive rates
are set directly on the cab console.
Singulated rates are precise, when field conditions (nom-
inal slippage) and tire conditions (wear and inflation) are
similar to those used to develop the rate charts.
Note: 10HD series openers use a green seed wheel.
Reading a Singulated Rate Chart
1. Consult the chart for your crop, meter wheel/cell
count, and row spacing. Some charts have two
pages.
2. Note whether talc only, or talc and graphite are
required. See “Seed Lubricants” on page 55.
3. Find the columns for your row spacing.
4. Find the desired seed population range (or seed
spacing).
5. Note the maximum ground speed for that population.
This speed applies regardless of meter drive.
For hydraulic drive, set the rate on the console.
For ground drive ...
6. The Range sprockets are at the top of the columns
for the row spacing.
7. The Transmission sprockets are in the table rows,
found to the left of the Population.
