New axle location.
PLANTING SPEED
Planters are designed to operate within a speed range of 2 to 8 mph (3.2 - 12.8 kph). See “Rate Charts”. Variations in
ground speed produce variations in rates. Finger pickup seed meter populations tend to be disproportionately higher at
high ground speeds.
NOTE: Seed spacing can be adversely affected at speeds above 5.5 mph (8.8 kph).
Planter toolbar height can be raised 3" (8 cm) for ridge planting.
