    How to fix uneven seed spacing on GREAT PLAINS 3P605NT Farm Equipment?
    • G
      Gina MonroeAug 26, 2025
      To address uneven seed spacing or stand with your GREAT PLAINS Farm Equipment, start by reducing field speed. Also, ensure that the feed cups and seed tubes are clean. Check the frame height and consider waiting for drier conditions to avoid ground drive wheel slippage. If the seed cups are too wide, adjust the drive type speed and close the feed cup flutes. Inspect the chain for slack and wear. If mud builds up on the Seed-Lok® wheel, lock it up or wait for drier conditions.

    Why is the acremeter inaccurate on my GREAT PLAINS Farm Equipment?
    • N
      Nichole WilsonSep 23, 2025
      An inaccurate acremeter on your GREAT PLAINS Farm Equipment can stem from several causes. Excessive wheel slippage is a primary factor, so check the frame height and consider waiting for drier conditions. Misaligned passes, leading to gaps or overlaps, can also affect accuracy. If wheel slippage varies consistently, develop a correction factor for your specific conditions.

      April NelsonSep 10, 2025
      If the actual seed rate differs from the desired rate on your GREAT PLAINS Farm Equipment, several factors could be responsible. Incorrect tire pressure or frame height may be the cause, so check both. A build-up of seed treatment in the feed cup can also affect the seed rate; make sure to clean it out. Also, check gearbox, sprocket, seed-rate handle and seed door settings.
