      Megan BenitezAug 21, 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.
