Why is my Landoll 5531 planting too deep?

  Joe MaldonadoAug 7, 2025
  Planting too deep with your Landoll Farm Equipment can occur due to several reasons. It might be caused by incorrect depth settings, which requires you to adjust the press wheel height. Excessive down pressure could also be the culprit, in that case reduce air system pressure on row units. Another potential cause is the drill not being level from front to rear because the hitch is too high; correct this by adjusting the hitch height.

  If your Landoll Farm Equipment is planting too shallow, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check for incorrect depth and adjust the press wheel height accordingly. Insufficient down pressure can also cause this issue, so increase the air system pressure on the row units. Lastly, ensure the drill is level; if the hitch is too low, adjust the hitch height.

What to do if sections of Landoll Farm Equipment are planting at different rates?

  If sections of your Landoll Farm Equipment are planting at different rates, there are several potential causes. Start by checking if the seed rate adjustment is the same on all sections and adjust if necessary. Ensure that the drive types (sprocket ratio) are consistent across all sections; change them if they are not. Also, the seed meter could be out of adjustment, so reset the seed meters. Verify the seed rate adjustment handle is properly set; reset it if needed. Check for a plugged opener seed tube and clean it out. Finally, a broken seed meter can cause excessive seeding, so repair the seed meter.
