RAPESEED PLANTING SECTION
DUE TO POTENTIAL SEED LOSS THROUGH THE AIR DISSIPATOR SCREEN,
RAPESEED PLANTING WITH BULK FILL EQUIPPED PLANTERS IS
NOT RECOMMENED BY KINZE.
MONITOR SETTINGS
NOTE Set sensitivity value to 1 for Ag Leader InCommand and Integra monitors. See Monitor Operator manual
for more information.
NOTE: Because of small seed size and high seeding populations, it is possible in certain planting conditions
that not all seeds will be detected by the row unit seed sensor. So it is possible KPM III and Ag Leader
InCommand or Integra monitors might not show correct seeding accuracy. Monitor planting accuarcy alarm
may be required to be adjusted to lower accuracy (or muted) due to false accuracy alarms. Frequent field
checks are recommended.
VACUUM SETTINGS
Due to rapeseed size and weight variations planting settings may vary. Testing with a Kinze T4000 test stand is
recommended to verify vacuum level setting and to achieve best planting accuracy. See your Kinze dealer for testing.
Set desired vacuum to value found during testing (recommended) or use preliminary values provided in chart below.
If testing is unavailable measure 20 - 50 seed samples and find average seed diameter (largest - width/length/height
seed dimension).
