PLANTING
Once the ground has been prepared for planting, the
PLOTMASTER™ unit is designed to make planting a “one-
pass” operation. The unit should be level. This will make all
parts work together and plant properly. The disc should be in
the “Light” or “Medium” Disc Mode.
The seeder can be adjusted to plant seeds ranging from clover
size to bean size seed. The seed gate is adjusted using a
detended seed flow control lever. There are 12 detents that lock
the seed gate into place, making seed rates consistent. The
smaller settings are ideal for planting small seeds such as
clover, chicory or alfalfa. The larger settings are great for
planting larger seeds such as wheat, oats, rye grain sorghum,
corn, peas and Lab Lab. Seeding application rates will vary
depending on how fast you pull the PLOTMASTER™. Normal
planting speed is
5-8 mph.
Planting previously planted areas is a “one-pass” operation
if vegetation is not a problem. The disc should be in the Light
or Medium Disc Mode and the plow attachment in the second
or third position. Set desired planting depth using the draft on
the 3-pt. hitch. Adjust the seed flow control lever to the proper
setting and turn on seeder motor. You are now ready to begin
planting!
Congratulations and have fun!
