1kg/ha=0.9lb/acre
Ouncesx31.103481=grams
Poundsx453.59237=grams
Inchesx2.54=cm
Usethefollowingformula:
Output=((10xW)/(Sx2))x(0.9)=X(lb/acre)
Where“W”isyourQuantityWeighedingrams.
“S”isyourRowSpacingincentimeters.
And“X”isyourOutputinpoundsperacre.
Example:
RowSpacing(S)=60cm(23.63")
QuantityWeighed(W)=60grams(1.929oz)
Output=((10x60)/(60x2))x(0.9)=5(kg/ha)or4.5
(lb/acre)
Inordertodeterminethegeartrainsetup,youwillneedto
achievethedesiredoutputrateperacre,usethefollowing
equation:
(D/5)x0.24=R
Where“D”isyourDesiredOutputinKilogramsper
Hectare(kg/ha).And“R”istheresultantgearratiothat
youcancomparetothechartonthenextpage.
NOTE:Ifworkinginunitsoflb/acre,simplydivideyour
desiredOutputby0.9beforesubstitutingforD.
Example:
Ifyourequire8kg/haor7.2lb/acre,choosetheratio
(8/5)x0.24=0.384≈0.40
Therefore,choosesprockets:A=12,B=18,C=12
Ifyourequire11kg/haor9.9lb/acre,choosetheratio
(11/5)x0.24=0.528≈0.54
Therefore,choosesprockets:A=12,B=22,C=20
