Seed Meter Gate Adjustment

The seed meter has an adjustable seed gate to

accommodate various seed sizes for planting. The seed

gate is adjusted by the handle on the outside of each

seed meter.

1. Use the upper seed gate position when planting

small seeds such as alfalfa, barley, rice, or wheat

(See Figure 4-9.)

2. The middle seed gate position is for peas, small

soybeans, etc. If excess cracking occurs, move the

handle to the lowest position.

3. Use the lower seed gate position for large peas,

large soybeans, etc.

NOTE

Before planting, make sure all seed gate settings are the

same for all meters.

4. The seed gate may also be completely lowered to

clean out the meter and seed box (See Figure 4-9.)

Fully open all seed meter gates at the end of planting

season to clean out any remaining seed.

NOTE

Do not attempt to fully open the seed meter gate unless

you are ready to empty the seed box.Once the gate is

open, it may be difficult to close the seed meter gate until

the seed box is empty.
