Selection of disks
For Maize seeds
In general, use disks with holes of diameter 5 mm (0.2 ’’)
for maximum versatility (Standard supplied).
Maize seeds with very angular or pointed shapes can be
sown with a disk with 4.5 mm (0.17 ’’) diameter holes to
improve seed placement in the row.
For sowing very large maize seeds, we recommend
using a disk with 5.5 mm (0.21 ’’) diameter holes.
For sowing very small sweet corn seeds, we recommend
using a disk with 3.5 mm (0.14 ’’) diameter holes.
For Sunflower seeds
Successful sunflower sowing depends on two factors:
- The adaptation of the disk hole diameter to the seed
size.
- The selector adjustment.
Never drill out disks in order to increase the
diameter of the intake holes, otherwise
serious deterioration of sowing accuracy
may result.
Indications on the seed bags do not mention the
seed size.
We recommend to possess 2 disk models (holes
diameter 2.5 mm (0.1 ’’) and 3.5 mm (0.14 ’’)) if
the seed size to be purchased cannot be
specified.
