To calibrate the seed rate, first check the seed chart for the desired planting rate. Adjust the seed cup settings accordingly, and then perform a test run to ensure accuracy. Make adjustments as necessary based on the test results.
It is recommended to perform a thorough inspection and maintenance routine at the beginning and end of each planting season. This includes lubricating moving parts, checking for worn or damaged components, and ensuring all settings are properly adjusted.
Check for blockages in the seed cups and tubes, ensure the seed metering system is clean and free of debris, and verify that the settings are correct for the seed type being used.
Inspect the seed tubes for clogs or damage, ensure the drill is level, and verify that all seed cups are functioning properly. Adjust the depth and down pressure settings if necessary.
To change the seed type, clean out the seed box thoroughly to remove any remnants of the previous seed. Adjust the seed cup and metering settings according to the seed chart for the new seed type.
Ensure all guards and shields are in place before operating. Do not attempt to clear blockages or perform maintenance while the drill is in operation. Always follow the manufacturer's safety guidelines.
Adjust the planting depth by changing the position of the depth control levers. Refer to the operator's manual for specific instructions on setting the desired depth for different soil conditions.
Inspect all moving parts for signs of wear or damage, ensure all bolts and fasteners are tight, and lubricate any dry or squeaky components as per the maintenance schedule.
Regular maintenance, such as lubrication and inspection of components, along with ensuring proper calibration and settings for the specific field conditions, can significantly improve performance.
The Van Brunt LL Drill is designed to plant a variety of seeds, including grains and legumes. Refer to the seed chart for specific settings for each type of seed.
