Acremeter does not
measure accurately
Note: Acremeter is most
accurate when
seeding back and
forth with markers
with few head-
lands, curves and
point-rows.
Acremeter readings are approximate, and may not be precise for your row configuration.
They are also affected by gauge wheel slippage and passes on curves. Readings count
all motion, including pass turn-arounds.
Incorrect tire size or air pressure Correct tire size or air pressure, page 61.
Excessive overlap or gaps between
passes. Avoid overlap or gaps. Check marker adjust-
ment, page 25.
Soil conditions. Loose soil and slippage will cause variations
in acres registered.
Check that acremeter is for your width of
drill. Refer to drill parts manual.
Actual field size different. Verify field size.
