Fertilizer Box Operation
The 2S-2600F is equipped with a fertilizer compartment
so you can plant seed and apply fertilizer in the same field
pass. Use only dry, granular fertilizer in the fertilizer box.
1. Clean any seed or debris from fertilizer compartment.
2. Adjust seed and fertilizer compartments to desired ca-
pacity. The 2S-2600F is equipped with standard divid-
ers that partition drill boxes into 60 percent seed and
40 percent fertilizer. If your drill is outfitted with option-
al offset dividers, you can change the seed-to-fertilizer
ratio. Refer to Seed and Fertilizer Capacity, “Adjust-
ments,” on page 41.
3. Calibrate fertilizer-application rate as explained under
Fertilizer Rate Calibration, “Adjustments,” page 29.
4. Check that divider door is closed so seed and fertilizer
cannot pass between compartments. See Figure 2-
16.
5. Check that fertilizer cleanout door is latched securely
(1) as shown in Figure 2-14. Close all door latches be-
fore loading fertilizer compartment.

until it rests against open drill-box lid. See Figure 2-15.
The fertilizer lid serves as a spill guard to keep fertiliz-
er out of the seed compartment.
