Chapter 5 – Calibrating the Tanks
Tanks must be calibrated when setting up a seeder for the first time,
changing the batch of seeds, or adding a new product.
Correctly calibrating tanks/bins ensures that seeding is carried out at
the proper rate to obtain maximum yield and crop. The size of seed
and supplement product varies between batches. This requires that the
seeder metering system be calibrated so that the correct amount of
seed is dispensed.
All the different products being used in each different tank can be
calibrated and stored in the UT before the operator starts seeding.
Note: NH3 tanks have a preset calibration value and the calibration
factor must be entered manually. Check the calibration factor on the
tag on the flow meter of the NH3 system.
