Seed Meter Setup and Adjustment
Your drill was originally supplied with a specific seed
meter type and internal components optimized for a par-
ticular crop. Depending on the meter type and configura-
tion, there may be adjustments available. Singulating
meters have a wide selection of wheels available.
On 25 Series openers, you can also change the meter
itself as your crop mix changes. This manual section
assumes that you need to install new meters, then
describes their internal configuration, and finally any
adjustments.
The 2020P, 2025P, 2520P and 2525P support Great
Plains Singulator Plus™ meters.
The 2025P and 2525P further support finger-pickup
meters.
The 2020P, 2025P, 2520P and 2525P do not support
feeder cups. Use a Singulator Plus™ meter with specific
wheels for volumetric applications.
Singulator Plus™ Meter Wheel Replacement
Choose the correct seed meter wheel for the opener
Series and the type of seed you are using. Be sure to
use the same wheel type on all meters.
Color-Coded Meter Wheels
Meter wheels are color-coded by opener series.
20 Series Singulator Plus meter wheels are black.
25 Series Singulator Plus meter wheels are green.
Wheels are directional (“handed”) and cannot be inter-
changed between opener Series.

much more difficult, as pocketed seeds will shear
against meter parts.
