3PYPA Table of Contents Index Planting Overview

Planting Overview

The information in this section covers important setupand checking information that applies to the Air-Pro®

Meter in singulated planting, using hydraulic drive orground drive.

Singulated planting employs the seed monitor in:

• PLANTER CONTROL mode with optional hydraulicdrive, or

• MONITOR ONLY mode with ground drive.

Seed Rate Setting Summary For your crop, determine your intended population,

in seeds/acre.

If you know only the seed spacing or population inlbs/acre or kg/ha, consult the charts beginning onthis page.

For your crop, population and desired field speed,select the correct seed disk:see “Meter Disk Selection” on page 7.

Set meter rate.

Set initial seed inlet shutter per seed rate chart.

Set initial meter pressurization:see “Meter Pressurization” on page 11.

For staggered twin row, time row pairs using:see “Sprocket Indexing (Stagger)” on page 15

Verify your planting ratesee “Checking Planting Rate” on page 14.

Seeds per UnitIf only population weight (lbs/acre or kg/ha) is known,obtain the population count by multiplying the populationweight by the kernels per pound (kilogram) from theseed container.

Meter PressurizationRefer to the Operator Manual for the procedure for fine tuning meter pressurization.

Start with pressures from the charts, which are based on crop, and for corn, seed shape and density.

NOTE:These are suggested initial (starting) pressures. Use the seed monitor console to adjust the value up or downaccording to the Operator Manual.

Corn Initial Meter PressurizationInitial seed inlet Shutter for corn is: 3

1. Pick the chart based on seed shape (flat, round).

2. Pick a line based on seed size (large, small).

3. Find the seed density on the bottom scale.

4. Read the suggested starting pressure on the left scale where the line intersects the density.

US Customary Units

Example: large round corn, 1260 seeds/lb (seed density)Use the line on the right of the chart, under “Round Corn-Large” (based on the seed size).Initial meter pressurization is 3.4 inches of water

The example is shown as dotted gray lines on the chart below.

Checking Planting RateSingulated seed charts are based on cleaned and sizedseed singulated with the recommended disk. Extremeseed size variations, foreign material and, on grounddriver planters, tire pressure can affect the planting rate.

Any material difference between chart and field ratesimplies a mechanical malfunction, a planter setup error,unsuitable planting conditions (such as excessive tireslippage) or extremely worn planter components. Youcan verify your setup and planter performance bymeasuring seed placement and spacing over a relativelyshort distance.

1. Determine the sample distance to check. Find yourrow spacing in the table below.

2. Note the number of rows to sample. Adjust theplanting depth to a shallow setting on one or twooutside rows (per table). Tie up the press wheel armswith wire or bungee to prevent furrow closure.

3. For populations above 100 000 seeds/acre, use asample size of 1/1000th acre.For populations below 100 000 seeds/acre, use asample size of 1/200th acre.

4. Configure the planter for the chart rate, either usingthe chart settings for sprockets, or, with hydraulicdrive, selecting the rate on the seed monitor.

5. Plant at the desired planting speed for slightly morethan the computed sample run length.

6. Measure off the sample distance, balanced inbetween where seeding started and stopped.

7. Count the number of seeds over the distancemeasured. Also note the consistency of the seedspacing.

8. Compute the rate for a full acre or hectare.

For a 1/1000th sample, multiply the counted seedsby 1000.

For a 1/200th sample, multiply the counted seeds by200.

9. If the field and chart rates vary by more than a fewpercent, re-check planter setup, including meter diskor cell count, air system, tire size, tire pressures,sprocket or hydraulic drive setup, chain slack, etc. Ifseed spacing is irregular, this suggests a seeddelivery problem, and not a rate setup problem.

10. While planting, pay attention to the seed monitor. Inaddition to confirming the single-row furrow check, itwill also provide field rate data on all the other rows,and alert you to any irregularities or stoppages.

Sprocket Indexing (Stagger)

If you are planting:

• with a seed disc having 24 cells or less,• twin-row crops,• at seed populations below 45,000 seeds/acre

(111 000 seeds/ha),

you can synchronize each pair of adjacent meters in atwin row for maximum seed-to-seed spacing betweenthe units of the pair.

If the initial indexing does not provide equal spacing, see“Fine Adjustment Indexing” on page 17.

NOTE:Due to limitations on the number of sprocket teeth andwheel cell count, it may not be possible to obtain perfectstagger. Charts and fine adjustment provide the optimalavailable stagger.

If you are planting:

• single-row,• or with seed discs or 25 cells or more,• or a volumetric crop,• or twin row with seed spacings below 91/4 inch

(23.5 cm),

this section of the manual, and the sprocket indexingcharts, do not apply to your operations.

Basic IndexingTools required:

• 7/8 inch (23 mm) open end wrench

• 3/8 inch socket wrench, or any socket wrench with3/8 inch (9.5mm) square drive

• 812-391C timing tool (located under walkboard)

Crushing Hazard:This adjustment takes some time. Install transport locks. Donot depend on hydraulics to hold the planter in the raisedposition.

1. Find (on pages 18 to 20) the sprocket indexing chartfor your row spacing, cell count and desired seedpopulation.

Note the “Initial Rear Tooth Number” value in thesecond column.

2. Raise the planter.

Chain geometry changes slightly when lowered. Theindexing charts account for this change, and assumethe planter is raised. Also, raising the planterdisengages the drive clutches, allowing you to turnthe drive shaft with a hand tool.

3. Clean out meters. Leave seed discs out. SeeOperator Manual for procedure.

NOTE:Sprocket indexing may be performed with seed presentand discs installed, but if so, you must perform step 9(chain taut check) by rotating the drive shaft forward toremove slack. Reverse meter rotation, with seed present,is not recommended.

4. Use drive shaft to set front row unit to index 1.

Observe the meter drive sprocket at a front (shortmount) row unit on each wing. Use the wrench, fromthe rear of the shaft, to rotate the shaft forward(wrench up and forward).

Stop rotation when the tip of the tooth stamped“1” (1) is aligned with a rib (2) cast into the meterhousing. In general, the rib at the 2:00 position is theeasiest to use, as it is visible from the side and frombehind the meter.

NOTE:The illustration shows tooth 1 slightly ahead of the indexrib at 2:00.

5. Check front sprocket synchronization.

Inspect all meter drive sprockets on front row units.Check that all springs are taut, and no chains haveslack. All sprockets should be at “1”. If not, usestep 6 through step 10 to set them to 1. Althoughfront sprockets machine-wide may be at 1 after thischeck, sprockets do not remain in sync wing-to-wing,due to clutch operation.

When equipped with swath control clutches the frontsprockets will not be synchronized. When swathcontrol clutches are in place each front sprocketmust be checked when timing its mating rearsprocket. The front row can be advanced bymanually turning the tandem sprocket forward untilthe front sprocket is at 1. Then set the rear sprocket.Check that the front sprocket has not moved.

Equipment Damage Risk:Do not apply significant force to meter disk, or drive hub maybe damaged.

NOTE:In the future, finding front sprockets out of sync on a wingsuggests idler/spring problems, and/or worn chain. Rowdrive systems must be in reliable working order foreffective sprocket indexing.

6. At the rear (long mount) row unit of each pair, notewhich sprocket tooth is at the index mark (2). If thesprocket is already at the chart value, skip tostep 12. Otherwise, complete step 7 through step 10for that row.

7. Place the timing tool (3) over the meter shaft. Attacha 3/8 socket wrench to aid in rotation.

Sweep the tool tooth under the chain, rotating in thedirection opposite of that desired for sprocketadjustment.

• Each clockwise rotation of the timing tooladvances the sprocket by one tooth.

• Each counter-clockwise rotation of the timingtool retards the sprocket by one tooth.

If the timing tool is not available, remove the idlertensioning spring to adjust the sprocket position.Rotate meter shaft backward (if meter empty,otherwise forward one full rotation), and re-checkindexing with normal tension on chain.

8. Advance or retard the sprocket until the desiredtooth number is at the index mark. Hold the sprocketstationary, and re-mount the chain, making sure thechain is taut in the top loop.

9. Rotate meter shaft backward, or rotate wing driveshaft forward to tension chain. Re-check that frontrow sprocket is still at “1”.

10. Check the position of the rear row sprocket. Thetooth tip at, or just ahead of the index mark must bethe tooth called for by the chart. If not, release springand re-mount chain.

11. Repeat step 4 through step 10 for each row pair.

12. Re-install seed discs and meter covers.

Fine Adjustment IndexingIf, after indexing, the side-to-side seed stagger is stillconsiderably uneven, it is possible to make smalladjustments that may correct it. Imbalance can occurover time as row unit chains wear and stretch.

The Indexing charts provide columns for alternate rearrow sprocket alignments. These settings move theplacement of the rear seed drop. The amount ofmovement is given as a percentage (20% or 40%) ofthe in-row seed spacing.

Adjustments are made only to the rear row timing.

• Advancing the timing (dropping the seed sooner,moves the seed position back).

• Retarding the timing moves the seed positionforward.

If an adjustment is made, test it on one row pair beforeadjusting the entire planter.

1. Make sure the current front sprocket index is 1, andthe current rear sprocket index number matches the“Initial” number in the indexing chart for thepopulation being planted.

2. Measure the actual stagger at the rear row seeds.

3. Determine by how many inches (or cm) the rearseed placement needs to move in order to becentered between the front seed placements.

4. Determine the percent of seed spacing, and whetheradvance or retard, required to adjust the rear seeddrop to the desired spot.

5. In the tables (thumbnail view below), find the newrear sprocket tooth setting for the percent retard oradvance desired.

Example:The front sprocket is at “1”. At a target population of 31,500 seeds/acre, the rear sprocket is at tooth “17”.At this population, spacing in a single row is 13.3 inches.The rear row seeds would be ideally at 6.6 inches ahead or behind the front row seeds.We find that the rear seeds are being placed 1.5 inches behind the front seeds.We need to move the rear seeds back another 5.1 in.A 40% advance is 5.3 inch at this seed spacing.

Moving the rear sprocket from tooth 17 to tooth 18 provides a 40% advance.

Twin Row Sprocket Indexing ChartsThis is NOT a seed rate chart. This is a chart forstaggering seed spacing between rows of a twin-rowplanter.

These charts contain US customary units and metricunits (seeds/acre and seeds/hectare).

Verify sprocket tooth position with the top length of chain taut.

1. Set the front meter to tooth “1”.

2. Set the rear meter to the indicated initial toothnumber.

3. Advance or Retard to adjust.

Hydraulic Drive Planting

Monitor ConfigurationHydraulic drive meter rate is set directly on the seedmonitor in the tractor.

Enter/update your planter configuration (width/row-count,single-row/twin, disk cell count, etc.). Once entered,specify the population directly in seeds/acre or seeds/ha.

Enter meter RPM limits for your disk.

NOTE:For consistent results, and least meter wear, do not exceedthe recommended ground speed.

Refer to the DICKEY-john® Monitor Manual for detailedinstructions.

NOTE:The monitor must be in User Level 2 to change some ofthese parameters.

1. For a crop not previously planted with this planter,create a Material Name for the crop.

2. Verify, setup, or update the Material record for thesingulated seed to be planted.

3. Select PLANTER CONTROL as Type.

4. The Units should be set to Ks (thousand seeds) peracre or Ks (thousand seeds) per hectare.

5. It is recommended to set the Preset Method toDisabled unless populations vary. If Enabled, makesure all 10 rates are filled in.

6. Enter the Target Rate. The Target Rate establishesthe desired rate of application in KS/AC or KS/Ha.

7. Enter the desired Max Rate. A rate of 110% of Targetis suggested. The Max Rate establishes themaximum application rate in KS/AC or KS/Ha. TargetRate cannot exceed the Max Rate.

8. Enter the desired Min Rate. A rate of 90% of Targetis suggested. The Min Rate establishes the minimumapplication rate in KS/AC or KS/Ha. Target Ratecannot be lower than Min Rate.

9. The Inc/Dec% rate of 1.0% is suggested.

10. Set Seeds Per Rev to the seed disk cell count.

11. Set Disc High Limit according to the maximum rpmon the Meter RPM Limits charts.

12. Set Disc Low Limit according to the minimum rpm onthe Canola Meter RPM Limits charts.

13. Set the Prod Level Alarm to 0.

14. High Pop Alarm is entered as a percentage. 20% issuggested.

15. Low Pop Alarm is entered as a percentage. 20% issuggested.

16. Verify, setup, or update the Channel assigned to theplanter’s hydraulic drive. If the monitor resets todefaults, Gear Ratio may be incorrect.

In the Material Library screen, makes sure that theMaterial is assigned to the Channel which controlsthe planter’s hydraulic drive. See your DICKEY-john®

Manual for more information.

17. The Type should be PLANTER CONTROL.

18. The Material Name must be the material specifiedearlier.

19. Set Control Mode to Auto.

20. Drive Type should be PWM 1. This is a valve, usuallyhydraulic, which varies the oil flow to a hydraulicmotor proportioned to electric current supplied.

21. Drive Frequency should be 100 Hz. It specifies thefrequency for the proportional valve being used.

22. Input Filter should be 50%. This provides a settingfor the amount of filtering applied to the frequencyfeedback of the control channel.

It is NOT recommended that the Input Filter be manuallyaltered. Any adjustments could result in the channel notoperating properly.

23. Sensor Constant should be 360 pul/rev.

24. Set the Gear Ratio value to 1.9.

25. Set the # Seed Rows to the number of active rows. Atwin pair (if both openers are in use) counts as2 rows.

26. Channel Width is the width for rows assigned to aspecific channel. This can be determined by activerow spacing multiplied by the active row count.

27. Precharge Time should be 0.0 SEC.

28. Set Delay Time to 0.

29. Set Flush Enable to Disabled.

30. Perform a Valve Calibration for the control channel.

31. Switch the seed monitor from Setup/Configurationmode to Operate mode. Load seed. Move theplanter to the field.

Ground Drive Planting

Singulated planting employs the seed monitor in“MONITOR ONLY” mode with ground drive.

Monitor ConfigurationRefer to your DICKEY-john® Manuals and planterOperator Manual for information not provided in thismanual.

For Monitor Only mode, all Channels except Channel 2 mustbe disabled, and no rows must be assigned to any Channels.The Material Type must match the Control Type (MonitorOnly).

NOTE:The monitor must be in User Level 2 to change some ofthese parameters.

1. For a crop not previously planted with this planter,create a Material Name for the crop.

2. Verify, setup, or update the Material record for thesingulated seed to be planted.

3. Select MONITOR CONTROL as Type.

4. Enter the desired Target Population. This value isdefined in 1000 seeds per acre or hectare.

5. The High Pop Alarm will be ignored due to blockageset up.

6. The Low Pop Alarm will be ignored due to blockageset up.

7. ROW WIDTH is the spacing between openers. Thisis the nominal spacing for single-row. For twin row,use 1/2 of the spacing between row pairs (example:15 inch for 30 inch twin row).

8. Set the ON/OFF PATTERN to the desired value.

9. Set the Row Fail Rate to 2/ 1 s/sec. This means 2seeds every 1 second is the blockage detectionthreshold.

10. Navigate to the Work Screen.

11. Select the Row Monitor Setup key to access the RowMonitor Setup screen.

12. Set the High Alarm Delay to 5 seconds.

13. Set the Low Alarm Delay to 5 seconds,

14. Set the Population Adjust to 100%.

15. Set Population Filter to 50.

16. Set the Row Fail Rate value to 2/1 which indicates arow failure threshold of 2 seeds in 1 second.

Ground DriveThe seed meters are driven by the gauge wheels,whenever the planter is lowered, and the clutches areengaged.

The ground drive assembly has three drives that areuser adjustable:

1. Range sprocket combination

2. Transmission sprocket combination

3. Upper drive sprocket selection

For a specific row-spacing, meter and seed, the startingsprocket settings for all three drives are found in thecharts beginning on page 37.

Sprocket pairings are identified in the charts both bysprocket size and by which sprocket is mounted onwhich shaft (DRIVER/DRIVEN).

Sprockets are sized by tooth count, stamped on thesprocket.

The DRIVER sprocket on any chain is the one closer tothe gauge wheel (lower in the assembly).

The DRIVEN sprocket on any chain is the one furtherfrom the gauge wheel (higher in the assembly).

Great Plains | 401-647B | 6/17/19 33


For All Ground Drive Adjustmentsa. Unfold the planter. Raise the planter. Install lift-assist

cylinder locks.

b. Engage clutches. Rotate each gauge wheel. Checkthat seed meters, seed tubes and drives are workingproperly and are clear of debris and obstructions.

c. Shut off the tractor.

d. Check gauge wheel tire condition. Worn tires causeirregular seeding. Check tire pressure using the tirepressure chart in the planter Operator manual.

e. Install sprockets. Re-check smooth drive systemoperation.

Population and Equipment Wear Risks:Perform identical setups on each of the two gauge wheeldrives. Any differences can cause unpredictable seed rate andexcess clutch wear.

Upper Drive Sprocket1. Obtain the sprocket selection from the rate chart.

2. If the sprocket selection needs to be changed,loosen the bolt on the forward idler (1), and slide theidler to the bottom of its track.

3. Remove split plastic spacer (2).

4. Move the spacer to the other side of the sprocketpair, sliding the sprocket pair (3) left or right to makeroom.

5. Lift the chain off the sprocket formerly in use, andmove it to the sprocket to be used.

6. Slide the idler up, and tighten the bolt, allowing1/4 inch (6 mm) slack in the longest chain span.

Transmission Sprockets7. Obtain the initial sprocket pairing from the rate chart.

8. Loosen the bolt on the forward idler (1), and slide theidler to the bottom of its track.

9. Remove the lynch pins from both the driving (2), anddriven (3) shafts.

10. As needed, exchange the existing sprocket pair forthe new pair.

11. Slide the idler (1) up, and tighten its bolt, allowing1/4 inch (6 mm) slack in the longest chain span.

12. Store the removed and any loose sprockets on thespindle shaft (4) and re-pin it.

Range Sprockets13. Obtain the sprocket pairing from the rate chart.

14. Loosen the bolt on the forward idler (1), and slide theidler to the bottom of its track.

15. Remove the lynch pins from both the driving (2), anddriven (3) shafts.

16. Exchange the existing low range sprockets for thosecalled out in the chart.

17. Slide the idler (1) up, and tighten the bolt, allowing1/4 inch (6 mm) slack in the longest chain span.1

18. Store the alternate sprockets and re-pin.

19. Make sure both ground drives are configuredidentically.

20. Switch the seed monitor from theSetup/Configuration mode to Operate mode. Loadseed. Move the planter to the field.

Reading a Ground Drive Rate Chart

The rate charts are estimations of maximum seed rates. Actualresul ts wi l l vary based on condi t ions and machinemaintenance. Maintain your machine regularly for optimumperformance.

All rate charts contain US customary and metricunits (mph and kph, inch and cm, seeds/acre andseeds/ha, etc).

1. Find the chart for your crop.

2. If there are separate charts based on row spacing,such as corn charts, find the charts for that spacing.

3. If there are separate charts by population range, findthe chart that covers the rate or seed spacing youintend.

4. For crops other than corn, find the chart for your cropand the columns for your row spacing.

5. Check what disk cell count and which disk partnumbers are covered by that chart.

6. Ezee Glide Plus seed lubricant is required. See See“Appendix A - Seed Lubricants” on page 106 formore information

Skip/Double/Blockage Risk:Ezee Glide Plus seed lubricant is required for all operationswith Air-Pro® meters.

7. Find the desired seed population range or seedspacing.

8. The maximum ground speed, or planting speed, forthat population is to the right of the seed spacing.

9. The range sprockets are at the top left of theseparate row spacing charts, and at the top of thecolumns for charts covering multiple row spacings.

Canola Seeding

These instructions explain how to plant with the 150 and250 cell canola seed disks. These disks are suitable forcanola and mustard (not pelletized).

Although a canola disk reliably singulates these verysmall seeds, this class of seeds is too small to be reliablydetected and counted with currently available seed tubesensors. This situation presently requires a special seedmonitor setup: singulated with blockage detection.

Prepare MetersSee the planter Operator manual for step details.

1. Remove rain covers on all rows.

2. Clean out the planter seed system, from hoppers tometer brushes.

3. Remove and save the presently installed seed disks.

4. Install the Canola disks.

5. Install the rain covers.

Loading SeedUse ample Ezee Glide Plus seed lubricant with smallseeds such as Canola and mustard.

• One cup (240 ml) per 30 pound (13.6 kg) bag is aminimum starting value.

• Mix the seed lubricant early during the seed loadingand mix well.

• Use more lubricant in extremely dry conditions.

Canola Initial Meter Pressurization150 Cell Disk

Run a test strip and check seeds per row foot.• If seeds per row foot are low, increase pressure.• if seeds per row foot are high, decrease pressure.Pressure may range from 1 to 2 inches of water.

Configure MonitorThis setup requires User Level 2 access on the AI100 orAI120 seed monitor, which is password-protected.

For detailed instructions, refer to the DICKEY-john®

manual.

Hydraulic Drive1. Navigate to Control Setup and then the Material

Setup screen.

2. Select an available default MATRL to redefine asCanola, or select an existing named material torename.

3. Select PLANTER CONTROL as Type.

4. The Units should be set to Ks (thousand seeds) peracre or Ks (thousand seeds) per hectare

5. It is recommended to set the Preset Method toDisabled. If Enabled is desired, make sure all 10rates are filled in.

6. Enter the desired Target Rate. The Target Rateestablishes the desired rate of application in KS/ACor KS/Ha.

7. Enter the desired Max Rate. The Max Rateestablishes the maximum application rate in KS/ACor KS/Ha. Target Rate cannot exceed the Max Rate.

8. Enter the desired Min Rate. The Min Rateestablishes the minimum application rate in KS/ACor KS/Ha. Target Rate cannot be lower than MinRate.

9. The Inc/Dec% rate establishes the percentage ofchange of the target rate that will be applied eachtime the Inc/Dec% key is pressed on the WorkScreen.

10. Set Seeds Per Rev to 150 or 250, depending onwhich canola seed disk is used.

11. Set Disc High Limit according to the maximum rpmon the Canola Meter RPM Limits charts on page 84.

12. Set Disc Low Limit according to the minimum rpm onthe Canola Meter RPM Limits charts on page 84.

13. Set the Prod Level Alarm as desired.

19. Select Channel Setup key.

20. The Type should be PLANTER CONTROL.

21. Canola should be the Material Name.

22. Set Control Mode to Auto.

23. Drive Type should be PWM 1. This is a valve, usuallyhydraulic, which varies the oil flow to a hydraulicmotor proportioned to electric current supplied.

24. Drive Frequency should be 100 Hz. It specifies thefrequency for the proportional valve being used.

25. Input Filter should be 50%. This provides a settingfor the amount of filtering applied to the frequencyfeedback of the control channel.


26. Sensor Constant should be set to 360 pul/rev.

27. Set the Gear Ratio value to 1.9.

28. Set the # Seed Rows to the number of active rows.

29. Channel Width is the width for rows assigned to aspecific channel. This can be determined by activerow spacing multiplied by the active row count.

30. Precharge Time should be 0.0 SEC. It is a specifiedlength of time a control channel will operate or beactive with the minimum precharge ground speedgreater than 0.

31. Go to “Row Monitor Setup for Hydraulic orGround Drive” on page 83.

Volumetric Seeding

These instructions explain how to operate and calibratethe Air-Pro® No. 1 84 cell volumetric seed disk.

For detailed instructions, refer to the DICKEY-john®

Quick Start Guide Planter Operation, or theDICKEY-john® IntelliAg®Planter/Drill Control Operator’sManual.

Prepare Meters

Possible Chemical Hazard:Seed disks will have talc and graphite residue, and may haveresidue of hazardous seed treatments. Wear gloves whenhandling seed disks. Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS) for any treated seeds recently planted.

Refer to the planter Operator’s Manual for detailedinstructions.

1. Clean out the seed meters.

2. Remove and store the current seed disks.

3. Inspect the brushes and clean as necessary.

When planting with the volumetric disk, a very smallpercentage of grain may be lost out the opening at theback of the seed tube. If the amount of loss is more thanyou desire a grain shield can be installed to stop this.

If necessary, order the grain shield using the part number403-596A VOLUMETRIC METER GRAIN SHIELD

NOTE:It is highly recommended that the grain shield be removedfrom the meter when going back to larger singulated seed.

To install the grain shield:

4. Remove the strip and block brush assembly. Savethe washer for reuse in step 6.

5. Remove the 5/16 inch hex-headed bolt and discard. Itis replaced with the 5/16 inch button head cap screw.

6. Position the grain shield (1) and reinstall with the5/16 inch button head cap screw (2) and savedwasher.

7. Re-install the strip and block brush assembly.

8. Install the volumetric disks as you would any otherseed disk.

9. Set the seed inlet shutter on each meter. See therate charts for your crop for suggested initial values.

Meter PressurizationDue to delivery of multiple seeds per disk cell, avolumetric crop requires a specific value of diskpressurization.

• 2.0 inches of water Hard Red Winter (HRW)• 2.5 inches of water Soft Red Winter (SRW)Do not operate below 2.0 inches of water

Note the suggested initial meter pressure. Have thisvalue at hand in the tractor cab.

CalibrateCalibration is essential for accurate populations:

Seed monitors cannot accurately count individual seedsin volumetric planting, both due to the small seed size,and due to multiple seeds per cell being often detectedas one seed.

Ground drive charts are only approximate, and only forthe seed variety and conditions used to develop thechart.

Your own rate records may also be approximate. Thesame seed variety planted at a different date can requirea rate adjustment due to different seed density, differentweather, different field speed, etc.

Population Risk:Volumetric planting based strictly on ground drive charts islikely to be inaccurate Volumetric planting based on seedmonitor seed counts is certain to be inaccurate.Calibrate. Check your actual rate by weight or by furrowcount. Check your seed consumption when refilling.

Calibrate your seed rate.

• For hydraulic drive planters, use the “SpreaderCalibration” feature of the seed monitor.

• For ground drive or hydraulic drive planters, rely on afurrow check.

Furrow Checking Rate1. Configure the planter for the approximate rate,

based on the seed rate charts.

2. Set the meter pressure to the chart value.

3. Prime the meters. See your planter Operator’sManual for information.

4. Plant for a short distance, just until the air deliverysystem is stabilized, and the meters are all deliveringseed.

5. Select one or more rows to sample.

6. Set the planting depth to shallow for the samplerow(s). Set the press wheels to minimum force. Usea wire to tie up the press wheel assembly.

7. Resume planting for a short distance.

8. Use a sampled row length of one foot (one meter).Count the seeds.

NOTE:Interpolate rows for more precise rate results. Double ortriple the sample length to improve accuracy.

9. On the tables below, find the nearest seeds per rowft (seeds per row meter) in the table for your rowspacing.

10. Look up the population, or pounds per acre(kilograms per hectare).

Calibration

You need a light weight container for each row sampled,and a scale that is accurate at the expected sampleweight.

Great Plains recommends using enough rows and/orrevolutions to generate a sample of about 10 pounds(4.5 kg), ideally:

• Use at least two rows.• Use no fewer than 5 meter revolutions.

1. Set the seed inlet shutters to 2.

2. Select the section and rows to be sampled.

3. Use the clutches to disconnect the other sections ofthe planter.

If the planter is equipped with Swath Command™,disable all but the tested rows.

4. Raise the planter, and install the lift cylinder transportlocks. Leave tractor hydraulic system active.

5. Bring the hydraulic fan up to planting speed.

6. Press the Fill Disk key and then the Row Fill key.This diverts all split air to seed delivery. Remain inthis mode until no more seed is flowing to meters.

7. Press the Work Screen key to return to the mainwork menu.

8. Press the Control Setup key and then theChannel Setup key.

9. Press the Spreader Calibration key.

10. Engage the hydraulic drive circuit.

11. Press the Fill Disk key. This turns the meters onerevolution to fill the disc cells.

12. Determine the meter revolutions needed. Thefollowing equation gives the number of meterrevolutions needed to meter 10 pounds. The tableson page 100 provide approximate pounds (kg) perrevolution of each wheel and seed.

13. Configure the seed monitor for the planter and crop(material). If the seed density is not known, use1 pound/cu-ft or 1 pound/bu.

14. Consult the rate chart for the crop (page 100). Notethe allowed Meter RPM range for the intended seedwheel and planting speed.

15. Place a collection bucket under each test meter’sseed tube.

Moving Chain Hazard:Shafts turn and chains move as soon as the [Start] key ispressed on the seed monitor. Set up collection containers sothat they may be unattended. Keep all persons clear of theplanter while calibrating.

16. In the Spreader Constant Calibration screen, enterthe # Meter Revs and press the Start key.

17. Weigh the containers plus seed (GrossWeight).Subtract the empty container weights to obtain thenet weight.

18. The seed monitor assumes that all rows were tested.If you tested fewer (commonly the case), scale thesample size to planter-wide:

19. Enter the Amount Dispensed. The seed monitorcomputes a new Spreader Constant.

NOTE:If the net weight of the metered sampled was dramaticallydifferent than expected, run another calibration to validateor revise the new spreader constant.

20. Perform a Ground Speed Calibration procedure.

21. Refer to “Furrow Checking Rate” on page 96 toverify seed rates.

Liquid Fertilizer

The liquid fertilizer option does not include a pump.Consult your pump documentation for setting pumprates.

The charts in this manual provide information onselecting orifice sizes to obtain ideal back-pressure atthe desired application rate.

NOTE:Great Plains recommends checking with your localAgronomist as soil conditions vary. Soil conditions inyour area may need lesser or more amounts of fertilizerthan represented in these charts. Do not exceed12 gallons/acre (112 liters/ha) in any case.

Determine Orifice SizeThe orifice needs to be small enough to create at least15 psi of pressure in the manifold but large enough toprevent the manifold pressure from exceeding 85 psi.

The minimum pressure is required to even out the flow offertilizer between rows. To reduce orifice plugging andpump wear, use the largest orifice practical for yourfertilizer application rate.

The best pressure range to maintain is 15-to-65 psi toensure optimum distribution while minimizing leakage.

Orifice size is only used to create 15-65 psi back pressure toprovide even flow between rows. Set application rate at pump.

Agricultural Chemical Hazard:Wear protective gloves when changing orifice plates andstrainer screens. Consult material manufacturer or supplierdocuments for proper handling and steps to take if skin contactoccurs.

To install the orifice plates:

1. Insert the orifice plate (1) inside the gasket (2)supplied with the nozzle.

2. Insert the gasket and orifice plate with the numberside facing out the nozzle outlet (typically up).

Relief ValveA relief valve is plumbed at the manifold inlet andprotects the manifold from excessive pressure. Anyproduct that dumps over the relief valve will dischargefrom the dump line (1).

To set relief valve:

1. Unlock plastic jam nut (2) from relief valve knob (3).

2. Unscrew knob clockwise until it loses contact withinternal spring.

3. Screw knob counterclockwise two turns. Start at thissetting.

4. Observe manifold gauge (4). Watch for relief valvedischarge while operating in the field.

5. If valve is dumping product and gauge reads under65 psi, stop tractor and, looking down, turn knobclockwise 1/4 turn. Continue operating at normal fieldspeed. Repeat this step as needed until no productis discharged from relief valve.

6. If pressure gauge reads above 65 psi, change to alarger orifice. Go to step 2. Repeat steps.

Ezee Glide Plus Talc+Graphite Mix

Ezee Glide Plus Lubricant

To maximize performance of Great Plains meteringsystems, it is imperative to use only “Ezee Glide Plus”lubricant. “Ezee Glide Plus” Talc-Graphite lubricant ismandatory for all seeds, especially treated or inoculatedseed. Thorough mixing of seed and added lubricant isrequired.

Irritation and Chronic Exposure Hazard:Wear gloves. DO NOT use hands or any part of your body tomix seed lubricant. Wear a respirator when transferring andmixing. Avoid breathing lubricant dust. Not an acute hazard.May cause mechanical eye or skin irritation in highconcentrations. As with all mineral spills, minimize dustingduring clean-up. Prolonged inhalation may cause lung injury.Product can become slippery when wet.

Recommended usage:

For clean seeds other than milo, cotton, and sunflowerssprinkle one cup of Ezee Glide Plus Talc per 4 bushels orunits (170 ml per 100 liters) of seed.

For milo, cotton, and sunflowers double the application toone cup (or more) per 2 bushels or units (335 ml per100 liters) of seed.

For canola or mustard, 1 cup (240 ml) per 30 pound(13.6 kg) bag is a minimum starting value. Mix the seedlubricant early during the seed loading. Use morelubricant in extremely dry conditions.

Adjust this rate as necessary so all seeds becomecoated while avoiding an accumulation of lubricant in thebottom of the hopper.

For seed with excessive treatment, or for humid plantingenvironments, increase the rate as needed for smoothmeter operation.
