Sprocket Arrangements
Note: Seeding rates will vary greatly with variations in types of the seeds being drilled. The seed rate chart is based on
a seed mix of 5.7# of pure live seed per 11.1# of bulk. The pure live seed mix was Big Blue - 1.5#, Little Blue - 0.8#, Side
Oats Grama - 0.6#, Wheat Grass - 1.0#, Switch Grass - 0.3# and Indian Grass - 1.5#. Factors which will affect seeding
rates are: weight of seed, size of seed, relative humidity and moisture content of the seed itself, ratio of inert material to
seed, different proportions of seed types affecting density and tire configuration, pressure and slippage.
