Why is there uneven seed depth with my Landoll 5530 Farm Equipment?

  Cynthia JohnsonJul 28, 2025
  Uneven seed depth in your Landoll Farm Equipment can stem from several issues. Ensure that the row unit depths are consistently set. If the drill isn't level from front to rear, adjust the hitch height. For seeds planted shallow in tire tracks, adjust the press wheel height and increase down pressure. Reduce field speed if it's excessive. Also, check for and clean any plugged seed tubes. Finally, address mud buildup between opener blades by adjusting the scraper and blade pinch point.

  If your Landoll Farm Equipment is planting too deep, it could be due to several reasons. First, check for incorrect depth and adjust the press wheel height. Excessive down pressure can also cause this issue, so reduce the air system pressure on the row units. Lastly, ensure the drill is level from front to rear by adjusting the hitch height if it's too high.

  If your Landoll Farm Equipment is planting too shallow, start by checking for incorrect depth and adjust the press wheel height. Insufficient down pressure can also be a cause, so increase the air system pressure on the row units. Additionally, make sure the drill is level from front to rear; if the hitch is too low, adjust the hitch height.

Why are sections planting at different rates on my Landoll 5530 Farm Equipment?
- P
  Paula HallAug 19, 2025
  If sections of your Landoll Farm Equipment are planting at different rates, there are several potential causes. First, ensure that the seed rate adjustment is the same on all sections. Next, verify that the drive types (sprocket ratio) are consistent across all sections. Also, check and reset the seed meters and seed rate adjustment handle if they are out of adjustment. Clean out any opener seed tubes that may be plugged. Finally, a broken seed meter can cause excessive seeding, so repair the seed meter if necessary.
