Small Seeds Tube Adjustment (Option)
Refer to Figure 30
On a drill with the Small Seeds option, deeper seed
placement may be achieved by rotating the seed tube
to face forward.
This orientation is suggested only if the seed firmer is a
seed flap. If a Keeton
®
or Seed-Lok
®
is present, seed
falls on the firmer and may be scattered rather than
placed deeper.

firming wheels provide additional
seed-to-soil contact. The wheels are spring loaded and
do not require adjusting. In some wet and sticky
conditions the wheels may accumulate soil. To avoid
problems associated with this, you can lock-up the
firmers.
Refer to Figure 31 (shown with an opener disc removed for
clarity - this task can be performed with discs mounted)
To lock up Seed-Lok

wheels:
1. Pull catch wire aside .
2. Pull firming-wheel arm up and release wire to
catch arm.
