MAN1280 (4/05/2019)
Cultipacker
The optional cultipacker can be used to firm the seed
bed for small seeds and increase seed-to-soil contact.
The cultipacker is equipped to operate through an
inclusive angle of 50°. The springs provide the down
pressure needed for an optimized seedbed. When rais-
ing the seeder, the cultipacker will swing until it reaches
its lower stop. Use a slow and steady motion to reduce
the impact loading of the cultipacker on the frame stop.
Calibration Tray
The Compact Super Seeder comes equipped with a
calibration tray to assist in adjusting the seed cups for
the desired seeding rate. The calibration tray can be
used with the seeder in the stationary position or as it is
pulled over a short distance of the seedbed. See Figure
27.
Figure 27. Calibration Tray
Stationary Calibration Procedure -
Legume and Cool Season Seed Boxes
Equipment
1. One or two pounds of sample seed.
2. Calibration tray.
3. One scale capable of measuring ounces or
hundreths of a pound.
Procedure
1. Position tractor and seeder on a level surface.
2. Adjust seed meter to closed position if applicable.
3. Stop engine and set parking brake.
4. Disconnect seed box from seeder chain drive by
removing pin from seed box driven sprocket (Cool
Season or Legume).
5. Place seed over two seed meters closest to right
end of seeder.
6. Remove calibration tray (34 cu. in. capacity) from
storage location. Install tray in primary collection
slot and tighten against frame with two plastic nuts.
For Legume seed box place PVC tubes inside
small canister for seed collection.
7. Open seed cups to desired position (refer to chart
for estimate) and lock into place. (Cool Season &
Legume only)
8. Use crank or a 12-pt socket and turn Primary seed
cup shaft or Legume seed cup shaft counter-
clockwise. See stationary calibration chart for
number of shaft turns. (12-pt –3/4" or 19 mm
socket fits over Cool Season seed cup shaft. 12-pt
12 mm socket fits over Legume seed cup shaft)
9. Carefully remove calibration tray or canister to
retrieve collected seed. Weigh seed and use
formula to determine seed rate. See page 23.
Remember to remove the weight of the container.
10. If seed rate is not correct, adjust seed cup
openings and repeat steps 7 through 9.
11. Return calibration tray and crank to storage
positions when finished.
Mobile Calibration Procedure -
Cool Season Seed Box
Equipment
1. One or two pounds of sample seed.
2. Calibration tray.
3. One scale capable of measuring ounces or
hundreths of a pound.
Procedure
1. Position tractor and seeder on a level surface.
2. Adjust seed meter to closed position if applicable.
3. Place seed over two seed meters closest to right
end of seeder.
4. Make sure the seed box being calibrated is
connected to chain drive. Disconnect other seed
boxes by removing pin from seed box driven
sprocket.
5. Remove calibration tray (34 cu. in. capacity) from
storage location. Install tray in designated
collection slot and tighten against frame with two
plastic nuts (check that calibration tray does not
come into contact with ground roller).
6. Open seed cups to desired position (refer to chart
for estimate) and lock into place. (Cool Season and
Legume only)
7. Lower seeder to the ground and travel 100 feet.
8. Turn off engine and set parking brake.
9. Carefully remove calibration tray to retrieve
collected seed. Weigh seed and use formula to
determine seed rate.
10. If seed rate is not correct, adjust seed cup
