Shaker Position –
The position of the shaker is the most effective adjustment when trying to change the shake for different seed
and different conditions. There is a coarse adjustment knob (4) and a fine adjustment knob (5). A good starting
point is to loosen the coarse adjustment and with the shaker on let it move to a stabilized point. Tighten the
course adjustment and with the shaker on let it move to a stabilized point. Tighten the course adjustment and
them move the shaker in (more shake) or out (less shake) depending on seed cut and the planting speed.
Turning the fin adjustment knob (5) clockwise will add more shake.

Seed Depth –
The seed depth is controlled by controlling the depth of the front of the planter. On a planter with front depth
wheels this is done by adjusting the turnbuckles (6) on the depth wheels. On a drawbar style planter ( with no
depth wheels ) the depth is controlled with the drawbar cylinder (7) on the drawbar, (8) and Cylinder Stops ( 3/4”
to 2” in ¼” increments ) placed around the shaft (9) to achieve proper depth. There is also a small gage wheel
attachment available that controls two rows independent of the others. This is a mechanical linkage adjustment.
