Why is there uneven seed spacing or uneven stand with GREAT PLAINS Farm Equipment?
Uneven seed spacing or stand can occur due to several reasons. You might be operating at excessive field speed, so reduce your speed. Another cause could be plugging in the feed cups or seed tubes, in which case, clean them out. Alternatively, use a faster drive type speed and close feed cup flutes to a more narrow position.
What to do if opener disks are not turning freely on GREAT PLAINS Farm Equipment?
If the opener disks are not turning freely, several factors could be responsible. Trash or mud might have built up on the disk scraper. Failed disk bearings or a bent/twisted opener frame can also cause this issue, so replace the disk bearings or the opener frame. Also, planting conditions may be too wet, so wait until drier weather.
Why is there uneven seed depth with GREAT PLAINS 706NT Farm Equipment?
Uneven seed depth can be attributed to a few reasons. Operating at excessive field speed can cause this, so reduce your speed. Planting conditions that are too wet can also be a factor, so wait for drier weather.
What to do if press wheels are not compacting soil as desired with GREAT PLAINS 706NT Farm Equipment?
If the press wheels aren't compacting the soil as expected, it could be due to conditions being too wet or cloddy, so wait until drier weather or rework the ground.
Why is the actual seeding rate different than desired with GREAT PLAINS Farm Equipment?
The actual seeding rate might differ from what you want because of a buildup of seed treatment in the feed cup, so clean the seed treatment from the feed cups.
What to do if press wheel or openers plugging with GREAT PLAINS 706NT Farm Equipment?
If the press wheel or openers are plugging, it may be due to planting conditions being too wet, so wait until drier weather. Another cause may be failed disk bearings, so replace them. Also, if you backed up with the drill in the ground, clean it out and check for damage.
Why is there excessive seed cracking with GREAT PLAINS 706NT?
Excessive seed cracking can occur if you're operating at excessive field speed, so reduce your speed. Also, check if the feed cup flutes are not open enough, and if so, open feed cups to a wider position. Another cause may be that the feed cup door handle is not open enough, so open the feed cup door handle to a lower position.
Why does the acremeter not measure accurately with GREAT PLAINS 706NT Farm Equipment?
If the acremeter isn't measuring accurately, it could be due to excessive overlap or gaps between passes, so avoid these. Loose soil and slippage will cause variations in acres registered. Also verify field size.
What to do if feed cup sprockets locked up or twisted feed cup drive shaft with GREAT PLAINS 706NT Farm Equipment?
If the feed cup sprockets are locked up or the feed cup drive shaft is twisted, foreign matter may be lodged in one or more feed cup sprockets, so clean them out and use clean seed. Also, dried liquid insecticide inside feed cups can cause this, so remove the buildup by disassembling each feed cup and scraping the foreign substance from turn surfaces.
