Planting Rate

This manual is your guide to planter adjustments forachieving specific seed population targets. It alsoincludes information you may need to properly setupand adjust a separately provisioned fertilizer pump sys-tem.

Although some setup/adjustment material herein isrepeated from the Operator’s Manual, you need to bethoroughly familiar with planter operations and adjust-ments before applying this Seed Rate manual and itstable data.

Setting Planting RateThere are 4 to 8 steps to obtaining the desired numberof seeds per acre, some of which apply only to ground-drive planters, certain meter types, and particular rowunit configurations:

1. Know the characteristics of the seed

Consult your seed supplier’s reference documents.

2. Install the correct seed meters and wheels

Consult your Great Plains dealer and see “SeedMeter Setup and Adjustment” in the Operator’sManual.

3. Adjust Finger Pickup meters for the seed

This only applies to finger pickup meters.See “Finger Meter Adjustments” on page 9

4. Sprocket index for staggered twin-row

This only applies to twin-row planters, and then onlyif precise seed spacing is desired between adjacentrows in the twin pair. See “Indexing Fine Adjust-ment” on page 42.

5. Set meter rate

For hydraulic meter drive, this is done via the seedmonitor. Once data about your planter is entered,you select the seed rate directly. Consult the man-ual for the seed monitor.

For ground drive meters, three sprocket sets areconfigured at each gauge wheel:a. rangeb. transmissionc. upper drive

See “Ground Drive Meter Rate” on page 2.

6. Check planting rate

See “Checking Planting Rate” on page 5.

Setting Fertilizer RateIf your planter is equipped with the optional fertilizermanifold system, it does not include the tank and pump-ing system. Rate is primarily controlled by the sepa-rately-provisioned pump (typically tractor-mounted, andservo-controlled by a groundspeed radar), but the ratealso affected by the size of the orifices in the manifold.

Consult the documentation for the pump system onbasic fertilizer flow rate.

See “Fertilizer Rate” on page 65 for orifice information.

Setting Meter Rate

Hydraulic Drive Meter RateHydraulic drive meter rate is set directly on the seedmonitor in the tractor. Consult the monitor manual fordetailed instructions, which may vary over time withfirmware updates to the monitor system.

You will need to enter/update your planter configuration(width/row-count, single-row/twin, meter type, wheel cellcount, etc.). Once entered, you can specify the desiredpopulation directly in seeds per acre.

Although the sprocket information in the Seed RateCharts of this manual does not apply to hydraulic drive,the recommended planting speed (in mph) does apply.

Note: For most consistent results, and least wear onthe meters, check the seed rate chart for the cropor meter type/wheel, and do not exceed the rec-ommended ground speed.

Ground Drive Meter RateOn 3PYP Planters without hydraulic drive, the row unitsare driven by the gauge wheels, in ground drive.

Both left and right gauge wheels include the completedrive train, and left/center/right drive shaft sections areall coupled together via clutches.

Note: Although in an emergency (such as a chainbreak), either gauge wheel can drive the entireplanter, in normal operation both sides are used,and are identically configured.

Gauge Wheel Sprocket SelectionRefer to Figure 1

The ground drive assembly has two sets of threechains that are user adjustable:

1. Range2 of 6 sprockets, stored on shaftsboth driving and driven shafts may adjust

2. Transmission2 of 10 sprockets, stored on vertical spindleboth driving and driven shafts may adjust

3. Upper drive1 of 2 sprockets, selected by spaceronly the driving shaft adjusts

For a specific row-spacing, meter and seed, the start-ing sprocket settings for all three chains are found inthe Seed Rate Charts.

Fine adjustment to planting rate is made by the Trans-mission chain ➁.

Sprocket pairings are identified in the Charts both bysprocket size and by which sprocket is mounted onwhich shaft.

Sprockets are sized by tooth count, stamped on thesprocket.The same shaft can be both a driving anddriven shaft depending on the required combinations.

The DRIVING shaft on any chain is the one closer tothe gauge wheel (lower in the assembly).

The DRIVEN shaft on any chain is the one further fromthe gauge wheel (higher in the assembly).

For All Ground Drive Adjustments

IMPORTANT !The 3PYP Planter must be unfolded, and the tractoror planter parked, before making any of these adjust-ments.

IMPORTANT !Any setup and adjustments must be made identicallyon each of the two gauge wheel drives. If there areany differences, there will be excess clutch wear,and unpredictable seed rate results.

Steps:

1. Raise the planter and install lift-assist cylinder locks.

2. Rotate each gauge wheel. Check that seed meters,seed tubes and drives are working properly and areclear of debris and obstructions.

3. Check tire pressure, per the “Tire Inflation Chart”in the Appendix of the Operator’s Manual.

Drive Range Sprockets1. Obtain the sprocket pairing from the Seed Rate

Chart.

2. Loosen the bolt on the forward idler ➀, and slidethe idler to the bottom of its track.

3. Remove the lynch pins from both the driving ➁,and driven ➂ shafts.

4. Remove the four alternate sprockets, and set themon the toolbar.

5. Remove the chain.

6. Exchange the existing low range sprockets forthose called out in the Seed Rate Chart.

IMPORTANT !Make sure the correct sprockets are mounted on thedriving or driven shafts as called for by the Charts.

7. Store any removed sprockets on their shafts andre-pin.

8. Slide the idler ➀ up, and tighten its bolt, allowing1⁄4in slack in the longest chain span.

IMPORTANT !Make sure the correct sprockets are mounted on thedriving or driven shafts as called for by the Charts.

6. Slide the idler ➀ up, and tighten its bolt, allowing1⁄4in slack in the longest chain span.

7. Store the removed and any loose sprockets on thespindle shaft and re-pin it. Make sure all eightalternative sprockets are accounted for.

Upper Drive Sprockets1. Obtain the driven sprocket selection from the Seed

Rate Chart. Make sure your configuration actuallyneed to be changed.

2. Loosen the bolt on the forward idler ➀, and slidethe idler to the bottom of its track.

3. Remove split plastic spacer ➁. It will be to the leftof the smaller (18 tooth) sprocket if the 18T was inuse, and to the right of the larger (36 tooth)sprocket if the 36T was in use.

4. Move the spacer (part number 120-337S) to theother side of the sprocket pair, sliding the sprocketpair ➂ left or right to make room.

5. Lift the chain off the sprocket formerly in use, andmove it to the sprocket to be used.

6. Slide the idler ➀ up, and tighten its bolt, allowing1⁄4in slack in the longest chain span.

Checking Planting RateAlthough your seed monitor will report useful full passresults, cautious practice includes manually checkingthe seed rate early in the first pass.

The seed charts are based on cleaned and sized seed.Extreme seed variations, foreign material and tire pres-sure can materially affect planting rate.

Checking the rate also provides a double-check on yourpopulation calculations and drive configuration.

The procedure is different for singulated and volumetricseeding.

Checking Singulated Rate1. Using the table below, determine the length and

number of rows to check. For twin-row operation, apair of row units counts as one row.

2. Adjust the planting depth to shallow on that numberof rows units. Using center and wing-end row unitsfor measurement provides a more accurate assess-ment of overall planter performance.

3. Use bungees or wire to tie-up the press wheelassembly on the tested row units, so that the seedis not covered. Tie up both in a pair for twin-row.

4. Operate the planter for the distance in the table,plus a few feet for the press wheels to clear the endof the sample distance.

5. Count the number of seeds in the test rows.

6. Multiply the total number of seeds counted by 200 ifmeasuring for 1⁄200 acre, or by 1000 if measuring for1⁄1000 acre. This is the plant population in seeds peracre.

7. If the populated is substantially different thanexpected, check tire inflation, and on a ground-driveplanter, double-check the sprocket configuration.See “Troubleshooting” in Operator’s Manual.

Seed Rate Check Sample Size

Seed Rate Check Examples10in spacing single-row planter:Per the table, plant about 20 ft, measure 17ft 5in, andcount 3 rows for 1⁄1000 acre. 180 seeds are counted:

180 x 1000 = 180,000 seeds per acre

30in spacing twin-row planter:Per the table, plant about 90ft, measure 87ft 1in andcount 2 double rows for 1⁄200 acre. 170 seeds arecounted:

Checking Volumetric RateVolumetric seeds are planted at much higher popula-tions than singulated seeds, and are measured inpounds (rather than seeds) per acre. This make the sin-gulated rate check technique impractical.

The process used depends on the meter drive type.

Checking Volumetric Ground DriveUse the following steps to check volumetric rate. Thisprocedure does not work on hydraulic drive planters. Onground drive planters, the ground drive needs to besetup for the target seed rate before conducting the test.

You will need a:

• tire marker (grease pencil, chalk or similar),

• three containers to catch seed as it exits the seedtube on three row units, and

• means of accurately weighing modest quantities ofseed. Read the steps in the procedure and estimatethe sample quantity that is likely.

1. Select three adjacent sampling row units near oneof the ground drive wheels. Make sure at least oneallows observation of the seed exiting the meterwhile manually turning the gauge wheel.

2. Shut off the Y-tubes to all other row units. This pre-vents clogging the lines with seed.

3. If the tractor is connected and providing power tothe planter, use the clutches to disconnect otherplanter sections. This reduces the effort in turningthe gauge wheel.

4. Disengage the drive couplers on all other meters onthe test section, except the meters to be used fortesting. This further reduces the effort in turning thegauge wheel.

5. Raise the planter, and install the lift cylinder trans-port locks. Leave the tractor hydraulic systemactive.

If the planter has hydraulic steering, flip the (fan)override switch to On.

6. Place a collection bucket under each test meter’sseed tube.

7. Mark the right side of the ground drive tire at theyoke arm.

8. Activate the hydraulic circuit for the seed fan.

9. Rotate the gauge wheel a few turns to ensure seedflow and proper meter operation. Stop rotation withthe tire mark again at the mark. Clear the seed col-lection containers and place them back under theseed tubes.

10. Rotate the gauge wheel for one acre:

11. Shut off the fan.

12. Weigh the collected seed.

Checking Volumetric Hydraulic DriveUse the following steps to check volumetric rate. Thisprocedure does not work on ground drive planters. Thetractor will need to be hitched to the planter, and provid-ing electrical and hydraulic power.

1. Configure the seed monitor for the planter and crop(material).

2. Consult the rate chart for seed. Note the “poundsper revolution” figure in the upper left corner.

3. Select at least four adjacent sampling row units onone side of the planter. The more rows sampled, thegreater the confidence in the results.

4. Shut off the Y-tubes to all other row units. This pre-vents clogging the lines with seed.

5. Use the clutches to disconnect the other side (half)of the planter. This eliminates the need to uncouplethe meters on that side.

6. Disengage the drive couplers on all other meters onthe test side, except the meters to be used for test-ing.

7. Raise the planter, and install the lift cylinder trans-port locks. Leave the tractor hydraulic systemactive.

If the planter has hydraulic steering, flip the (fan)override switch to On.

8. Place a collection bucket under each test meter’sseed tube.

9. Command the planter seed monitor to:FILL DISK

10. Command the seed monitor to run the:5 REV TEST

11. Weigh the seed. Compare the result with thatexpected from the Pounds Per Revolution data(assuming 4 rows tested):

Finger Meter Planting

The basic seed rate for finger meters is determined bythe meter finger count (6 or 12), and the drive setup.

Finger meters have two additional adjustments for opti-mum results:

1. Meter brush (see page 9)

2. Twin row indexing (see page 33)

IMPORTANT !Recommended speed is 41⁄2 to 5 miles per hour.

Excess speeds are known to deteriorate seed spacingcontrol and depth control.

Reading a Finger Meter Rate ChartHydraulic or Ground Drive1. Consult the chart for your row spacing and meter

type.

2. Find the desired seed population or seed spacing.

3. Note the range of meter rpms suitable for that popu-lation.

IMPORTANT !The shaded rpms are the recommended rpms formost consistent results. Use the recommended drivingspeed if possible.

With hydraulic meter drive, enter the population in theseed monitor. With ground drive, configure the sprock-ets.

Finger Meter AdjustmentsThe finger pick up meter has an adjustable brush. Thebrush has been pre-set to the optimum setting for mostseed sizes.

Finger Meter Brush AdjustmentThe brush reduces or eliminates “doubles” (deliveringtwo seeds per finger), but if set too aggressively cancause “skips” (delivering no seed on some fingers). Asneeded, adjust for minimal doubles and skips.

Note: These instructions describe the current fingerpickup meter shipped with new Great Plainsplanters, which has an integrated adjustment le-ver for the brush. If you have added pre-existingfinger meters after purchase, there is somechance that you may have previous modelmeters, adjusted by screwdriver rather than le-ver. If so, rely on counting detents to determinethe setting. Not all have 9 detents.

Refer to Figure 5

The adjustable brush provides additional flexibility toaccommodate a wide range of seed sizes. Use lever(L) to gently rotate the brush into position.

The settings range from 1 to 5 with detents at each halfstep, for a total of 9 detents. Although the numbers aremolded into the meter housing, only “1” and “5” may bevisible. To ensure consistency, rotate the lever fullycounter-clockwise (1), and count detents as youadvance it to the desired setting.

Use the general guidelines in the table below to adjustthe brush position to your seed size and shape. Thenumbers listed correspond to the numbers printed onthe outer housing of your meter.

If there is a decal on your meter, its units are in poundsper 80,000 seed bag. The table below includes seedsper pound.

Finger Meter InsertsRefer to Figure

The backing plate is equipped with an “A” insert ➀. Intests, this insert provides the best performance in mostseed sizes. However, there are two alternative insertsthat can be used. Before changing to a different insert,please consult with a Great Plains service representa-tive for a recommendation.

The insert type is molded into the back. Changinginserts requires meter disassembly, and is not furtherdescribed in this manual.

IMPORTANT !Be cautious in using seed treatments, additives, andother chemicals when possible. They can causemeter performance problems and premature wear tometer parts.

Avoid the use of graphite with untreated seeds. Ifgraphite must be used, use Precision™ plantinggraphite or Great Plains graphite which is less abra-sive. Seeds with Maxi, Captan, Cruiser, Poncho andsimilar treatments can benefit from graphite. Use theamount recommended on the graphite container,usually 1 tsp/unit or 1 tsp/80,000#.

Always store meters in a dry, secure place, withbrush in between two meter fingers. Moisture, tem-perature, nest-building insects and rodents can cre-ate problems.

Always pay attention to your seed monitor and oper-ating manual. Monitor the amount of seed you areplanting compared to your expectations. Alwaysinvestigate abnormalities!

Sprocket Indexing (Stagger)

This chapter applies to both ground and hydraulic drive,but only with finger meters.

If you are planting:• finger-metered,• twin-row crops,• at seed interval spacings above 61⁄2 inches,you can synchronize each pair of adjacent meters in atwin row so that you achieve the maximum seed-to-seed spacing between the units of the pair.

If you are planting:- single-row,- or with singulating meters,- or a volumetric crop,- or twin row with seed spacings below 61⁄2in,this section of the manual, and the sprocket indexingcharts, do not apply to your operations.

If the initial indexing does not provide equal spacing,see “Indexing Fine Adjustment” on page 42.

Refer to Figure 7

1. Find the chart for your row spacing, meter fingercount and desired seed population. Note the “RearMeter Sprocket Tooth #” value in the far right col-umn.

2. Remove both meters of a row unit pair. Note thattooth 1 and many of the other teeth on the drivensprockets , are stamped with a tooth number.

On front row unit:

3. Relax idlers on front meter drive by lifting thespring off the rear post .

4. Lift chain off driven sprocket , and rotate sprocketso that tooth 1 is as close as possible to straight up(top dead center).

5. Re-engage chain and idlers, making sure chain istaut at top, and that sprocket tooth 1 has not shiftedoff TDC.

On rear row unit:

6. Relax idlers on rear meter drive by lifting thespring off the rear post .

7. Lift chain off driven sprocket , and rotate sprocketso that the tooth number called for in the chart is atTDC (or is the same as the front row sprocket).

8. Re-engage chain and idlers, making sure chain istaut at top, and that the designated sprocket toothhas not shifted off TDC.

9. Re-install meters. No particular wheel orientation isrequired during meter installation. The meterengagement is symmetrical, and the results identi-cal no matter how the coupler captures the metershaft.

Indexing Fine AdjustmentIf, after indexing, twin-row side-to-side seed stagger issubstantially imbalanced, it is possible to make smalladjustments that may correct it.

The procedure is different for 6- and 12-finger meters.

If an adjustment is made, test it on one row pair beforeadjusting the entire planter.

Before making any Indexing Adjustments:

• Check actual planted seed spacing. Seed Spacing isfound by measuring the distance between 25 cor-rectly planted seeds in one row and dividing by 24. (Avisible skip or double is counted as one seed.)

• Make sure current rear sprocket index numbermatches the number in the indexing chart for actualseed spacing being planted.

6-Finger Meter Stagger AdjustmentFind your current indexing value row in the charts.

Each (sprocket tooth) number directly above or belowthe current rear meter sprocket setting in the right mostcolumn of the seed indexing chart represents a smallmovement of the rear row seed relative to the front rowseed.

Changing rear your sprocket to the next number up inthe chart retards, moving each rear row seed back asmall amount.

Changing rear sprocket to the next number down in thechart advances, moving each rear row seed ahead asmall amount.

Example 1: The 6 Finger (Twin Row 30in) plantingpopulation is 29900 or 14in seed spacing. The chartsetting for the rear sprocket is (15). Each rear rowseed should fall 7in behind the front row seed.

If each rear row seed measures only 6in behind thefront row seed, reset the rear meter sprocket to thenext number up in the chart (12). This will move therear seeds back to make the stagger closer to 7in.

Example 2: The 6 Finger (Twin Row 30in) plantingpopulation is 29900 or 14in seed spacing. The chartsetting for the rear sprocket is (15). Each rear rowseed should fall 7in behind front row seed.

If each rear row seed measures 8in behind the frontrow seed, reset the rear meter sprocket to the nextnumber down in the chart (18). This will move the rearseeds ahead to make the stagger closer to 7in.

12-Finger Meter Stagger AdjustmentBefore making any Indexing Adjustments, check actualplanted seed spacing. Seed Spacing is found by mea-suring the distance between 25 correctly plantedseeds in one row and dividing by 24. (A visible skip ordouble should be counted as one seed.) Make surecurrent rear sprocket index number matches the num-ber in the indexing chart for actual seed spacing beingplanted.

Find your current indexing value row in the charts.

Each (sprocket tooth) number directly above or belowthe current rear meter sprocket setting in the right mostcolumn of the seed indexing chart represents a smallmovement of the rear row seed relative to the front rowseed.

Changing rear your sprocket to the next number downin the chart retards, moving each rear row seed back asmall amount.

Changing rear sprocket to the next number up in thechart advances, moving each rear row seed ahead asmall amount.

Example 1: The 12 Finger (Twin Row 30in) plantingpopulation is 34800 or 12in seed spacing. The chartsetting for the rear sprocket is (3). Each rear row seedshould fall 6in behind the front row seed.

If each rear row seed measures 7in behind the frontrow seed, reset the rear meter sprocket to the nextnumber up in the chart (11). This will move the rearseeds ahead and make the stagger closer to 6in.

Example 2: The 12 Finger (Twin Row 30in) plantingpopulation is 34800 or 12in seed spacing. The chartsetting for the rear sprocket is (3). Each rear row seedshould fall 6in behind the front row seed.

If each rear row seed measures 5in behind the frontrow seed, reset the rear meter sprocket to the nextnumber down in the chart (14). This will move the rearseeds back to make the stagger closer to 6in.

Singulating Meter Planting

Singulating meter planting rate is determined by:

• crop and seed variant

• meter wheel selection, and

• meter drive configuration

There are no other adjustments.

Reading a Singulated Rate ChartHydraulic or Ground Drive1. Consult the chart for your crop, meter wheel/cell

count, and row spacing. Some charts have twopages.

2. Note whether talc, or talc and graphite are required.See “Seed Lubricants” on page 67 for seed lubri-cant information.

3. Find the columns for your row spacing.

4. Find the desired seed population range (or seedspacing).

5. Note the maximum ground speed for that popula-tion.

With hydraulic meter drive, enter the population in theseed monitor. With ground drive, configure the sprock-ets.

Ground Drive6. The Range and Upper Drive sprockets are at the

top of the columns for the row spacing.

7. The Transmission sprockets are in the table rows,found to the left of the Population.

Volumetric Meter Planting

Volumetric meter planting rate is determined by:

• crop and seed variant

• meter wheel selection, and

• meter drive configuration

There are no other adjustments.

Reading a Volumetric Rate ChartHydraulic or Ground Drive1. Consult the chart for your crop and meter wheel.

2. Note any seed lubricant required. See “Seed Lubricants” on page 67 for seed lubricant information.

3. Find the columns for your row spacing.

4. Find the desired seed rate (which is pounds peracre for volumetric seeds).

5. Note the maximum ground speed for that rate.

With hydraulic meter drive, enter the rate in the seedmonitor. With ground drive, configure the sprockets.

6. The Range and Upper Drive sprockets are at thetop of the columns for the row spacing.

7. The Transmission sprockets are in the table rows,found to the left of the Seed Rate.

Fertilizer Rate

The 3PYP planter does not presently offer a completefertilizer system with pump. Basic fertilizer rate is setby the pump system. Consult the documentation forthat system.

The optional fertilizer manifold does include a pressurerelief valve and orifice plates at each row unit drop line.These can affect fertilizer flow rate, and need to beconsidered when setting rates.

Adjust the relief valve per the 3PYP Operator’s Man-ual.

Orifice Plate SelectionIn general, the orifice ➀ needs to be small enough tocreate at least 15 psi of pressure in the manifold butlarge enough to prevent the manifold pressure fromexceeding 85 psi.

Wear protective gloves when changing orifice plates.

Refer to Figure 8

The minimum pressure is required to even out the flowof fertilizer between rows. To reduce orifice pluggingand pump wear, use the largest orifice practical foryour fertilizer application rate.

The best pressure range to maintain is 15-40 psi toensure optimum distribution while minimizing leakage.

IMPORTANT !Orifice size is only used to create 15-65 PSI backpressure to provide even flow between rows. Setapplication rate in gallons per acre using pump drivechart.

Seed Lubricants

Singulator Plus Meters (all seeds)

Ezee Glide Plus Talc-Graphite Mix

821-069C bucket, 5 gallon (19 liter)

Ezee Glide Plus LubricantTo maximize performance of Great Plains metering sys-tems, it is imperative to use only “Ezee Glide Plus” lubri-cant. “Ezee Glide Plus” Talc-Graphite lubricant ismandatory for all seeds, especially treated or inoculatedseed. Thorough mixing of seed and added lubricantis required.

Recommended usage:

For clean seeds other than milo and cotton sprinkleone cup of Ezee Glide Plus Talc per 4 bushels or units(170 ml per 100 liters) of seed.

For milo and cotton double the application toone cup (or more) per 2 bu or units (335 ml per 100liters) of seed.

Adjust this rate as necessary so all seeds becomecoated while avoiding an accumulation of lubricant inthe bottom of the hopper.

For seed with excessive treatment, or for humid plantingenvironments, increase the rate as needed for smoothmeter operation.

Irritation and Chronic Exposure Hazard:Wear gloves. DO NOT use hands or any part of your body tomix seed lubricant. Wear a respirator when transferring andmixing. Avoid breathing lubricant dust. Not an acute hazard.May cause mechanical eye or skin irritation in high concen-trations. As with all mineral spills, minimize dusting duringclean-up. Prolonged inhalation may cause lung injury. Prod-uct can become slippery when wet.

Finger Pickup Meters

EZ-Slide Graphite Powder

821-042C bottle, 1 pound (450 grams)821-060C jug, 5 pound (2.3 kg)

For Finger Pick Up Meters OnlyUse only approved Graphite Powder available fromGreat Plains Mfg. Inc. or Precision Planting to ensureproper lubrication of finger pickup corn seed meters.

Recommended usage:

For finger pickup meters, add one tablespoon (15 ml) ofgraphite for each unit of seed corn (80,000 kernels).

In high humidity conditions, or seeds with heavy seedtreatments, increase the application to two tbsp (30ml).

If delivery of seed from the hopper to the finger meter isan issue, add “Ezee Glide Plus” talc and graphite blendat a rate of one cup (237ml) per 4 units of seed. Adjustuntil issue is resolved.

Irritation and Chronic Exposure Hazard:Wear gloves. DO NOT use hands or any part of your body tomix seed lubricant. Wear a respirator when transferring andmixing. Avoid breathing lubricant dust. Not an acute hazard.May cause mechanical eye or skin irritation in high concen-trations. As with all mineral spills, minimize dusting duringclean-up. Prolonged inhalation may cause lung injury.
