Rate Setting Overview

There are six or seven steps to obtaining the desired number of seeds per acre, depending on row configuration. This data applies to the Air-Pro® meter when planting at onea seed per disc cell.

1. For your crop, determine your intended population, in seeds/acre. If you know only the seed spacing or pounds/acre, consult the charts on page 2 through page 4.

2. For your crop, population and desired field speed, verify the suitability and setup of your seed disk:See “Air-Pro® Meter Disk Selection” on page 5. Install the disks. Use blank disks on unused rows.

3. Set meter rate on ground drivesInstall DRIVING/DRIVEN sprocket pairs, for Range and Transmission, on both ground drive assemblies. See page 13.

4. Sprocket index for staggered twin-rowTwin-row drills, with certain crops, get maximum benefit with precise seed spacing between adjacent rows. See “Indexing Fine Adjustment” on page 16.

5. Set initial seed inlet shutter per seed rate chart.

6. Set initial manifold pressure per page 8, 9.

7. Check planting rateSee “Checking Planting Rate” on page 10.

Population Reference InformationSeeds per UnitIf only pounds/acre is known, obtain the population count by multiplying the population weight by the “Kernels per pound” value from the seed container.

Seed SpacingIf only seed spacing is known, use the tables on the next three pages to determine population.

a. Volumetric planting (more than one seed per cell), is not covered by this manual.

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

Start with pressures from below and on page 9, 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 them up or down per the procedure in the 2025A and 2525A Operator Manual.

Corn: Reading a Pressure Chart (below, next page)1. Pick the chart based on seed shape (flat, round).

Example: large round corn

2. Pick a line based on seed size (large, small).Example: the right line below

3. Find the seed density on the bottom scale.Example: 1260 seeds/pound

Checking Planting RateSingulated seed charts are based on cleaned and sized seed singulated with the recommended disk. Extreme seed size variations and foreign material can affect the planting rate.

Any material difference between chart and field rates implies a mechanical malfunction, a drill setup error or extremely worn drill components. You can verify your setup and drill performance by measuring seed placement and spacing over a relatively short distance.

The columns to the right provide example data for a rate check.

Checking Singulated Rates1. Determine the sample distance to check. Find your

row spacing in the table at right.

2. Note the number of rows to sample. Adjust the planting depth to a shallow setting on one or two outside rows (per table). Tie up the press wheel arms with wire or bungee to prevent furrow closure.

3. For populations above 100 000 seeds/acre, use a sample size of 1/1000th acre.

For populations below 100 000 seeds/acre, use a sample size of 1/200th acre.

4. Configure the drill for the chart rate, either using the chart settings for sprockets, or, with hydraulic drive, selecting the rate on the seed monitor.

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

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

7. Count the number of seeds over the distance measured. Also note the consistency of the seed spacing.

8. Compute the rate for a full acre.

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

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

9. If the field and chart rates vary by more than a few percent, re-check drill setup, including meter disk or cell count, air system, tire size, tire pressures, sprocket or hydraulic drive setup, chain slack, etc. If seed spacing is irregular, this suggests a seed delivery problem, and not a rate setup problem.

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

Example:Seeds counted:

122Computed for full acre:

122 x 1000 = 122,000This differs from chart by:

1.6%



Planting Rate

Seed rate depends on three factors:

1. seed disk cell count

2. range sprocket pair

3. transmission sprocket pair

Seed DisksUse the table on page 5 to select the seed disk appropriate for the crop, seed size, seed density and intended population. Verify the setup details on the seed rate chart (charts are on page 20 through page 49).

Install the seed disks in all active rows, per the instructions in the Operator Manual (118-999M). If not planting with all rows active, install the special blank disks in unused rows (see Operator Manual) and close the seed inlet shutters on those rows (see Operator Manual).

Consult ChartSee page 20 for details on how to read a seed rate chart. Some charts have two pages (Low/High range).

On the chart for the crop, seed disk, and population, gather the following data:

• Shutter setting

• Range sprocket DRIVER and DRIVEN tooth counts

• Transmission DRIVER/DRIVEN sprocket tooth counts

Range SprocketsRefer to Figure 5

1. Inspect installed sprockets to see if changes are needed. Tooth counts are stamped on faces.

2. Loosen idler and lift chain off DRIVER and DRIVEN sprockets.

3. Remove lynch pin from DRIVEN shaft. Remove cotter pin, clevis pin and hex shaft adaptor from DRIVER shaft. At left gauge wheel assembly, do not remove acremeter from adaptor. Remove pin from sprocket storage tower (not shown).

4. Exchange sprockets between shafts and tower as necessary to obtain chart pairing. Double-check that the driver sprocket is on the driver shaft, and the driven sprocket is on the driven shaft.

5. Reroute chain over sprockets and idlers as shown. Move idler into chain so chain has 14 in slack in its longest span. Tighten idler and install retaining pins.

6. Set the same drive range sprocket combination on both gauge wheels.

2. Loosen idler and lift chain off DRIVING and DRIVEN sprockets.

3. Remove lynch pin from DRIVING sprocket shaft.Remove lynch pin from DRIVEN sprocket/storage shaft, and as necessary, from storage tower (not shown).

4. To change the seeding rate, change the transmission sprocket combination.

5. Exchange sprockets between shafts and storage as necessary to obtain chart pairing. Double-check that the driver sprocket is on the driver shaft, and the driven sprocket is on the driven shaft.

6. Reroute chain over sprockets and idlers as shown. Move idler into chain so chain has 14 in slack in its longest span. Tighten idler and install retaining pins.

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/ac(111 000 seeds/ha),

you can synchronize each pair of adjacent meters in a twin row so that you achieve the maximum seed-to-seed spacing between the units of the pair.

If the initial indexing does not provide equal spacing, see “Indexing Fine Adjustment” on page 16.

If you are planting:- single-row,- or with seed discs or 25 cells or more,- or twin row with seed spacings below 914 in (23.5cm),this section of the manual, and the sprocket indexing charts, do not apply to your operations.

Indexing PreparationTools required: 78 in (23mm) open-end wrench

1. Find (in page 18-19) the sprocket indexing chart for your row spacing, cell count and desired seed popu-lation. Note the “Initial Rear Tooth Number” value in the second column.

2. Raise the drill.Chain geometry changes slightly when lowered. The indexing charts account for this change, and assume the drill is raised. Also, raising the drill frees the ground drives, allowing you to turn the drive shaft via tires or with a hand tool.

Crushing Hazard:Use jack stands or blocks rated for the weight of the drill.Do not rely on tractor hydraulics to hold the drill at raised. This adjustment takes some time.

3. Clean out meters. Leave seed discs out.See Operator Manual for procedure.

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

Refer to Figure 7 (which depicts tooth 1 slightly ahead of the index rib at 2:00)

4. Set front units to index 1.

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

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

5. Check front sprocket synchronization.

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

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

Note: In the future, finding any front sprockets out of sync on a wing suggests idler/spring problems, and/or worn chain. Row drive systems must be in reliable working order for effective sprocket indexing.

Refer to Figure 8

6. At the rear (long mount) row unit of each pair, note which sprocket tooth is at the index mark . If the sprocket is already at the chart value, skip to step 11. Otherwise, complete step 7 through step 10 for that row.

7. Release the idler tensioning spring .Lift the chain off the sprocket.

Refer to Figure 9

8. Rotate the sprocket until the desired tooth number is at the index mark. Hold the sprocket stationary, and re-mount the chain, making sure the chain is taut in the top loop.

9. Re-engage the idler spring. Rotate meter shaft backward, or rotate wing drive shaft forward to tension chain. Re-check that front row sprocket is still at “1”.

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

11. Re-install seed discs and meter covers. No particular disc orientation is required during meter installation. The disc is symmetrical about all four seat lobes.

Indexing Fine AdjustmentIf, after indexing, the twin-row side-to-side seed stagger is substantially imbalanced, it is possible to make small adjustments that may correct it. Imbalance can occur over time as row unit chains wear and stretch.

The Indexing charts on page 18 and 19 provide columns for alternate rear row sprocket alignments. These settings move the placement of the rear seed drop. The amount of movement is given as a percentage (20% or 40%) of the in-row seed spacing.

Refer to Figure 10

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 position forward.

If an adjustment is made, test it on one row pair before adjusting the entire drill.

Indexing Adjustment Steps1. Make sure the current front sprocket index is 1, and

the current rear sprocket index number matches the “Initial” number in the indexing chart for the popula-tion being planted.

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

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

4. Determine the percent of seed spacing, and whether advance or retard, required to adjust the rear seed drop to the desired spot.

Figure 9Adjusting Sprocket Index

29627

Figure 1040% Rear Timing Adjustments

29717

Example:

The front sprocket is “1”. At a target population of 31,500 seeds/ac, the rear sprocket is at tooth “17”.

At this population, spacing in a single row is:13.3in

The rear row seeds would be ideally at:6.6in

ahead or behind the front row seeds.

We find that the rear seeds are being placed:1.5in behind the front seeds.

We need to move the rear seeds back another 5.1in.

A 40% advance is 5.3in at this seed spacing.



5. In the tables (thumbnail view of one shown at right), find the new rear sprocket tooth setting for the percent retard or advance desired.

Seed Rate Charts

How to Read a ChartConsult the chart for your crop, row spacing, disk cell count, and population. Some charts have two pages.

1. Find the charts for your crop.

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

3. If there are separate charts by population range, find the chart that cover the rate or seed spacing you intend.

Note: If planting with every other row shut off, the actual population is half the Twin Row chart rate.

4. Check what disk cell count, and which disk part numbers are required for/covered by that chart.

5. Note that Ezee Glide Plus seed lubricant is required.

Skip/Double/Blockage Risk:Ezee Glide Plus seed lubricant is required for all operations with Air-Pro® meters. See “Seed Lubricants” on page 50 for seed lubricant information.

6. Find the desired seed population range (or seed spacing).

7. Note the maximum ground speed for that population. This is based on the maximum disk rpmb for that disk and crop.

8. The Range sprockets are at the top left of the single-spacing charts, and at the top of the columns for charts covering multiple row spacings.

9. The Transmission sprockets are in the table rows, found to the left of the Population.

10. Note the suggested initial setting for the seed inlet shutter.

b. The rpm information is not required for Air-Pro® drill operations. it is not reported by the optional seed monitor.

Clean-Out Meters

Possible Chemical Hazard:Avoid contact with seed treatment residues inside meters and on removed meter discs. Wear gloves unless all recent planting involved untreated seeds. Consult the MSDSc for any treated seeds recently planted. See planter Operator manual for brush cleaning instructions.

1. Perform a meter clean-out per the instructions in your planter Operator manual.

2. Remove and store the current seed discs. Perform a brush inspection and cleaning as necessary.

3. Continue at “Install Discs / Set Shutters” on page 44.

Grain ShieldTo order the grain shield use the following Great Plains part number: 403-596A VOLUMETRIC METER GRAIN SHIELD

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

Note: It is highly recommended that the grain shield be removed from the meter when going back to larger singulated seed.

Refer to Figure 13

To install:

a. Remove the strip and block brush assembly. Save the washer for reuse in step c.

b. Remove the 516 in hex-headed bolt and discard, it is replaced with the 516 in button head cap screw.

c. Position the grain shield and reinstall with the 516 in button head cap screw and saved washer.

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

Install Discs / Set Shutters4. Install the 817-867C volumetric discs as you would

any other seed disc. See Operator manual for details.

Refer to Figure 14

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

See the planter Operator manual for instructions on setting the inlet shutter.

Configure Ground Drive(s)6. Configure the ground drive as you would on page 13.

Seed rate charts are on page 48 and page 49.

If the planter has more than one driving gauge or contact wheel, be sure to set all drives identically.

Note Meter PressureDue to delivery of multiple seeds per disc cell, a volumetric crop requires a specific value of disc pressurization.

Initial Meter Pressurization: Wheat2.0 inches of water Hard Red Winter (HRW)2.5 inches of water Soft Red Winter (SRW)

Note: Do not operate below 2.0 inches of water

7. Note the suggested initial meter pressure. Have this value at hand in the tractor cab.

CalibrateCalibration is essential for accurate populations:

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

• Ground drive charts are only approximate, and only for the seed variety and conditions used to develop the chart.

• Your own rate records may also be approximate. The same seed variety planted at a different date can require a rate adjustment due to different seed density, different weather, different field speed, etc.

8. Calibrate your seed rate.

For ground drive (or hydraulic drive) planters, rely on a “seeds per row foot” furrow check, the next topic.

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



Furrow Checking Rate - Volumetrica. Configure the planter for the approximate rate, based

on the charts.

b. Set the meter pressure to the chart value.

c. Prime the meters. See your planter Operator manual for the steps.

d. Plant for a short distance, just until the air delivery system is stabilized, and the meters are all delivering seed.

e. Select one or more rows to sample.

f. Set the planting depth to shallow for the sample row(s). Set the press wheels to minimum force. Use a wire to tie up the press wheel assembly.

g. Resume planting for a short distance.

h. Use a sampled row lengthd of one foot.Count the seeds.

i. Find the nearest “Seeds per Row Foot” in the table for your row spacing.

j. Look up the Population, or “Pounds per acre”.

d. You can interpolate rows for more precise rate results. Doubling or tripling the sample length improves accuracy.

Appendix A - Seed Lubricants

Seed Lubricants

Air-Pro® Meters (all seeds)Ezee Glide Plus Talc + Graphite Mix

Ezee Glide Plus LubricantTo maximize performance of Great Plains metering systems, it is imperative to use only “Ezee Glide Plus” lubricant. “Ezee Glide Plus” Talc-Graphite lubricant is mandatory for all seeds, especially treated or inoculated seed. Thorough mixing of seed and added lubricant is required.

Recommended usage:

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

For milo, cotton, and sunflowers, double the application to one cup (or more) per 2 bu or units (335 ml per 100 liters) of seed.

Adjust this rate as necessary so all seeds become coated while avoiding an accumulation of lubricant in the bottom of the hopper.

For seed with excessive treatment, or for humid planting environments, increase the rate as needed for smooth meter operation.

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

Meter Pressurization - MetricMeter pressurization in U.S. customary units begins on page 8. Refer to the Operator Manual for the procedure for fine tuning meter pressurization.

Start with pressures from below and on page 57, which are based on crop, and for corn, seed shape and density.

Note: These are suggested initial (starting) pressures. Adjust them up or down per the procedure in the Operator Manual (401-651M).

Corn: Reading a Pressure Chart (below, next page)1. Pick the chart based on seed shape (flat, round).

Example: large round corn

2. Pick a line based on seed size (large, small).Example: the right line below

3. Find the seed density on the bottom scale.Example: 2800 seeds/kg

4. Read the suggested starting pressure on the left scale, where the line (example shown as dotted gray) intersects the density.Example: 3.4 inches of water

Initial seed inlet Shutter for corn is: 3

Volumetric - Metric ChartsFor volumetric operating instructions see “Volumetric Seeding” on page 43.

Volumetric Furrow Checking Rate - Metrica. Configure the planter for the approximate rate, based

on the charts.

b. Set the meter pressure to the chart value.

c. Prime the meters. See your planter Operator manual for the steps.

d. Plant for a short distance, just until the air delivery system is stabilized, and the meters are all delivering seed.

e. Select one or more rows to sample.

f. Set the planting depth to shallow for the sample row(s). Set the press wheels to minimum force. Use a wire to tie up the press wheel assembly.

g. Resume planting for a short distance.

h. Use a sampled row lengthe of one meter.Count the seeds.

i. Find the nearest “Seeds per Row Meter” in the table for your row spacing.

j. Look up the Population, or “Kilograms per hectare”.

e. You can interpolate rows for more precise rate results. Doubling or tripling the sample length improves accuracy.
