YP825AR Table of Contents Index Planting Overview

Planting Overview

The information in this section covers important setupand checking information that applies to the Air-Pro®

Meter in singulated planting, using hydraulic drive orground drive.

Seed Rate Setting Summary For your crop, determine your intended population,

in seeds/acre or seeds/hectare.

If you know only the seed spacing or population inlbs/acre or kg/ha, consult the charts beginning onthis page.

For your crop, population and desired field speed, select the correct seed disk:see “Meter Disk Selection” on page 5

Set meter rate.

Set initial seed inlet shutter per seed rate chart.

Set initial meter pressurization:see “Meter Pressurization” on page 9

For staggered twin row, time row pairs:see “Sprocket Indexing (Stagger)” on page 13

Verify your planting rate:see “Checking Planting Rate” on page 12.

Seeds per UnitIf only population weight (lbs/acre or kg/ha) is known,obtain the population count by multiplying the populationweight by the kernels per pound (kilogram) from theseed container.

Meter PressurizationRefer to the Operator Manual for the procedure for fine tuning meter pressurization.

Start with pressures from the charts, which are based on crop, and for corn, seed shape, and density.

NOTE:These are suggested initial (starting) pressures. Use the seed monitor console to adjust the value up or downaccording to the Operator Manual.

Corn Initial Meter PressurizationInitial seed inlet Shutter for corn is: 3

1. Pick the chart based on seed shape (flat, round).

2. Pick a line based on seed size (large, small).

3. Find the seed density on the bottom scale.

4. Read the suggested starting pressure on the left scale where the line intersects the density.

US Customary Units

Example: large round corn, 1260 seeds/lb (seed density)Use the line on the right of the chart, under “Round Corn-Large” (based on the seed size).Initial meter pressurization is 3.4 inches of water

Checking Planting RateSingulated seed charts are based on cleaned and sizedseed singulated with the recommended disk. Extremeseed size variations, foreign material, tire pressure, andsoil conditions can affect the planting rate.

Any material difference between chart and field ratesimplies a mechanical malfunction, a planter setup error,unsuitable planting conditions (such as excessive tireslippage) or extremely worn planter components. Verifyyour setup and planter performance by measuring seedplacement and spacing over a relatively short distance.

1. Determine the sample distance to check. Find yourrow spacing in the table below.

2. Note the number of rows to sample. Adjust theplanting depth to a shallow setting on one or twooutside rows (per table). Tie up the press wheel armswith wire or bungee to prevent furrow closure.

3. For populations above 100 000 seeds/acre, use asample size of 1/1000th acre.

For populations below 100 000 seeds/acre, use asample size of 1/200th acre.

4. Configure the planter for the chart rate, either usingthe chart settings for sprockets, or, with hydraulicdrive, selecting the rate on the seed monitor.

5. Plant at the desired planting speed for slightly morethan the computed sample run length.

6. Measure off the sample distance, balanced inbetween where seeding started and stopped.

7. Count the number of seeds over the distancemeasured. Also note the consistency of the seedspacing.

8. Compute the rate for a full acre or hectare.

For a 1/1000th sample, multiply the counted seedsby 1000.

For a 1/200th sample, multiply the counted seeds by200.

9. If the field and chart rates vary by more than a fewpercent, re-check planter setup, including meter diskor cell count, air system, tire size, tire pressures,sprocket setup, chain slack, etc. If seed spacing isirregular, this suggests a seed delivery problem, andnot a rate setup problem.

10. While planting, pay attention to the seed monitor. Inaddition to confirming the single-row furrow check, itwill also provide field rate data on all the other rows,and alert you to any irregularities or stoppages.

YP825AR Table of Contents Index Sprocket Indexing (Stagger)

Sprocket Indexing (Stagger)

If you are planting:

• with a seed disc having 24 cells or less,• twin-row crops,• at seed populations below 45,000 seeds/acre

(111 000 seeds/ha),

you can synchronize each pair of adjacent meters in atwin row for maximum seed-to-seed spacing betweenthe units of the pair.

If the initial indexing does not provide equal spacing, see“Fine Adjustment Indexing” on page 15.

NOTE:Due to limitations on the number of sprocket teeth andwheel cell count, it may not be possible to obtain perfectstagger. Charts and fine adjustment provide the optimalavailable stagger.

If you are planting:

• single-row,• or with seed discs or 25 cells or more,• or a volumetric crop,

this section of the manual, and the sprocket indexingcharts, do not apply to your operations.

Basic IndexingTools required:

• 7/8 inch (23 mm) open end wrench

• 3/8 inch socket wrench, or any socket wrench with3/8 inch (9.5 mm) square drive

• 812-391C timing tool (located under walkboard)

Crushing Hazard:This adjustment takes some time. Install transport locks. Donot depend on hydraulics to hold the planter in the raisedposition.

1. Find (on pages 16 to 18) the sprocket indexing chartfor your row spacing, cell count and desired seedpopulation.

Note the “Initial Rear Tooth Number” value in thesecond column.

2. Raise the planter.

Chain geometry changes slightly when lowered. Theindexing charts account for this change, and assumethe planter is raised. Also, raising the planterdisengages the drive clutches, allowing you to turnthe drive shaft with a hand tool.

3. Clean out meters. Leave seed discs out. See theplanter Operator Manual for procedure.

NOTE:Sprocket indexing may be performed with seed presentand discs installed, but if so, you must perform step 9(chain taut check) by rotating the drive shaft forward toremove slack. Reverse meter rotation, with seed present,is not recommended.

4. Use drive shaft to set front row unit to index 1.

Observe the meter drive sprocket at a front (shortmount) row unit on each wing. Use the wrench, fromthe rear of the shaft, to rotate the shaft forward(wrench up and forward).

Stop rotation with tip of tooth stamped “1” (1) alignedwith a rib (2) cast into the meter housing. In general,the rib at the 2:00 position is the easiest to use, as itis visible from the side and from behind the meter.

NOTE:The illustration shows tooth 1 slightly ahead of the indexrib at 2:00.

5. Check front sprocket synchronization.

Inspect all meter drive sprockets on front row units.Check that all springs are taut, and no chains haveslack. All sprockets should be at “1”. If not, usestep 6 through step 10 to set them to 1. Althoughfront sprockets machine-wide may be at 1 after thischeck, sprockets do not remain in sync wing-to-wing,due to clutch operation.

When equipped with swath control clutches the frontsprockets will not be synchronized. When swathcontrol clutches are in place each front sprocketmust be checked when timing its mating rearsprocket. The front row can be advanced bymanually turning the tandem sprocket forward untilthe front sprocket is at 1. Then set the rear sprocket.Check that the front sprocket has not moved.

Equipment Damage Risk:Do not apply significant force to meter disk, or drive hub maybe damaged.

NOTE:In the future, finding front sprockets out of sync on a wingsuggests idler/spring problems, and/or worn chain. Rowdrive systems must be in reliable working order foreffective sprocket indexing.

6. At the rear (long mount) row unit of each pair, notewhich sprocket tooth is at the index mark (2). If thesprocket is already at the chart value, skip tostep 12. Otherwise, complete step 7 through step 10for that row.

7. Place the timing tool (3) over the meter shaft. Attacha 3/8 inch socket wrench to aid in rotation.

Sweep the tool tooth under the chain, rotating in thedirection opposite of that desired for sprocketadjustment.

• Each clockwise rotation of the timing tooladvances the sprocket by one tooth.

• Each counter-clockwise rotation of the timingtool retards the sprocket by one tooth.

If the timing tool is not available, remove the idlertensioning spring to adjust the sprocket position.Rotate meter shaft backward (if meter is empty,otherwise forward one full rotation), and re-checkindexing with normal tension on chain.

8. Advance or retard the sprocket until the desiredtooth number is at the index mark. Hold the sprocketstationary, and re-mount the chain, making sure thechain is taut in the top loop.

9. Rotate meter shaft backward, or rotate wing driveshaft forward to tension chain. Re-check that frontrow sprocket is still at “1”.

10. Check the position of the rear row sprocket. Thetooth tip at, or just ahead of the index mark must bethe tooth called for by the chart. If not, release springand re-mount chain.

11. Repeat step 4 through step 10 for each row pair.

12. Re-install seed discs and meter covers.

Fine Adjustment IndexingIf, after indexing, the side-to-side seed stagger is stillconsiderably uneven, it is possible to make smalladjustments that may correct it. Imbalance can occurover time as row unit chains wear and stretch.

The Indexing charts provide columns for alternate rearrow sprocket alignments. These settings move theplacement of the rear seed drop. The amount ofmovement is given as a percentage (20% or 40%) ofthe in-row seed spacing.

Adjustments are made only to the rear row timing.

• Advancing the timing (dropping the seed sooner,moves the seed position back).

• Retarding the timing moves the seed positionforward.

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

1. Make sure the current front sprocket index is 1, andthe current rear sprocket index number matches the“Initial” number in the indexing chart for thepopulation being planted.

2. Measure the actual stagger at the rear row seeds.

3. Determine by how many inches (or cm) the rearseed placement needs to move in order to becentered between the front seed placements.

4. Determine the percent of seed spacing, and whetheradvance or retard, required to adjust the rear seeddrop to the desired spot.

5. In the tables (thumbnail view below), find the newrear sprocket tooth setting for the percent retard oradvance desired.

29717

Example:The front sprocket is “1”. At a target population of 31,500 seeds/acre, the rear sprocket is at tooth “17”.At this population, spacing in a single row is 13.3 inches.The rear row seeds would be ideally at 6.6 inches ahead or behind the front row seeds.We find that the rear seeds are being placed 1.5 inches behind the front seeds.We need to move the rear seeds back another 5.1 in.A 40% advance is 5.3 inches at this seed spacing.Moving the rear sprocket from tooth 17 to tooth 18 provides a 40% advance.

YP825AR Table of Contents Index Hydraulic Drive Planting

Hydraulic Drive Planting

Monitor ConfigurationHydraulic drive meter rate is set directly on the seedmonitor in the tractor. Consult the monitor manual fordetailed instructions, which may vary slightly over timewith firmware updates to the monitor system.

Enter/update your planter configuration (width/row-count,single-row/twin, disk cell count, etc.). Once entered,specify the population directly in seeds/acre or seeds/ha.

Enter meter RPM limits for your disk (see “Meter RPMLimit Charts” on page 19).

NOTE:For consistent results, and least meter wear, do not exceedthe recommended ground speed.

Refer to the DICKEY-john® manuals for detailedinstructions.

NOTE:The monitor must be in User Level 2 to change some ofthese parameters.

1. For a crop not previously planted with this planter,create a Material Name for the crop. Selecting anamed material is a required step in later screens.

2. Verify, setup, or update the Material record for thesingulated seed to be planted.

The table at right lists the parameters that need to bereviewed or set. <angle bracket> values are yourchoice/preference when not from meter rpm chart.

3. Verify, setup, or update the Channel assigned to thePlanter’s hydraulic drive. If the monitor resets todefaults, Gear Ratio may be incorrect.

Count rows individually for # Seed Rows. A twin pair(if both openers are in use) counts as 2 rows.Channel Width is swath.

4. In the Material Library screen, makes sure that theMaterial (SOYBEANS in our example) is assigned tothe Channel (CH 1 in our example) which controlsthe Planter’s hydraulic drive.

5. Perform a Valve Calibration for the control channel.

6. Switch the seed monitor from Setup/Configurationmode to Operate mode. Load seed. Move thePlanter to the field.

Meter RPM Limit ChartsThe charts on the following pages contain UScustomary units and metric units (mph and kph,seeds per acre and seeds per hectare).

Ground Drive Planting

Setting the seeding rate requires the following steps:

1. monitor setup,

2. seed disk selection,

3. changing drive speed range sprockets,

4. changing transmission sprockets,

5. setting inlet shutters,

6. meter pressurization,

7. checking seeding rate.

All rate adjustments are performed at the left end of thePlanter. There are no adjustments at the ground driveassembly. Changes in seed rate do not affect fertilizerrate.

Monitor Configuration

To have accurate rate reports and useful alarms, theseed monitor must be set up with:

• correct row count,• correct row spacing,• speed calibration,• expected population limits.See the DICKEY-john® Planter Monitor OperatorManual for more information.

If you only plant with the factory configuration of thePlanter, you never need to update row count andspacing. If any rows are unused, adjust the monitorsetup.

Speed calibration must be done prior to first use, andre-calibration is recommended periodically, particularly ifsoil conditions change.

Disk SelectionSelect seed disks from the charts beginning on page 5.See the planter Operator Manual for installation.

Disks are specific to crops. Some crops have multipledisks available, to cover both seed varieties, anddifferent populations within disk rpm limits.

Disks have a high and low rpm limit, which alsocorresponds to a high and low field speed limit. Thecharts account for these limits.

If any rows are unused, install special blank disks. Seethe planter Operator Manual for more information.

Range SprocketsAll seed rate charts specify a DRIVING and DRIVENsprocket combination for the range.

To change the range sprockets:

1. Rotate the idler plate against the spring (1) todisengage the idler.

2. Remove the chain.

3. Remove pins from shaft ends at DRIVING andDRIVEN sprockets, as well as at the storage shaft.

4. Exchange sprockets so that the new DRIVING andDRIVEN sprocket tooth counts (stamped on sprocketface) match the chart.

5. Fasten all shafts.

6. Install the chain.

7. Engage the spring idler.

Transmission SprocketsEach seed rate chart row has a specific transmissioncombination for a particular seed population.

To change the transmission sprockets:

1. Rotate the idler plate against the spring (2) todisengage the idler.

2. Remove the chain.

3. Remove the pins from shaft ends at DRIVING andDRIVEN sprockets, as well as the storage shaft.

4. Exchange sprockets so that new DRIVING andDRIVEN sprocket tooth counts (stamped on sprocketface) match the chart.

5. Fasten all shafts.

6. Install the chain.

7. Engage the spring idler.

Seed Inlet ShutterA consistent seed rate requires:

• a consistent number of seeds (usually one) in eachpocket of the seed disk,

• avoiding skips (fewer seeds per pocket),• avoiding doubles (excess seed per pocket).

One of the factors that affects seed pickup at the disk ishaving an optimal seed pool (see the planter OperatorManual).

The depth of the seed pool is controlled by the seed inletshutter (3).

Each seed rate chart specifies a suggested initial shuttersetting. See the planter Operator Manual for settingdetails and further adjustment.

At unused rows, set the shutter to zero/closed to preventloss of meter pressurization air, and install a blank seeddisk. See the planter Operator Manual for moreinformation.

Meter Pressurization NOTE:

The illustration shows a typical reading for some densitiesof corn.

A major factor that affects seed pickup at the disk isoptimal meter pressurization. Fan air holds seed in thedisk pockets until the seeds pass the drop brush.

See the information beginning on page 9 for thesuggested initial meter pressures, which may be a singlevalue, or a graph based on seed density.

Meter pressure is set by a combination of tractor circuitlever and fan butterfly valve. See the planter OperatorManual for more information.

Checking Seed RateAlthough the seed monitor reports a computedpopulation based on seeds sensed, only an actual furrowcheck provides certainty about the actual seeding rate.See “Checking Planting Rate” on page 12.

Reading a Ground Drive Rate Chart

The rate charts are estimations of maximum seed rates. Actual results will vary based on conditions and machine maintenance. Maintain your machine regularly for optimum performance.

All rate charts contain US customary and metricunits (mph and kph, inch and cm, seeds/acre andseeds/ha, etc).

YP825AR Table of Contents Index Canola Seeding

Canola Seeding

These instructions explain how to plant with the 150 and250 cell canola seed disks. These disks are suitable forcanola and mustard (not pelletized).

Although a canola disk reliably singulates these verysmall seeds, this class of seeds is too small to be reliablydetected and counted with currently available seed tubesensors. This situation presently requires a special seedmonitor setup: singulated with blockage detection.

Yield-Pro® Planters manufactured in November 2013and later have Air-Pro® Seed Meters and Seed Tubesthat are compatible with the canola disk. Plantersmanufactured earlier may be updated with a 403-684Aupdate kit. A kit will be needed for each row. Seepage 113 for installation.

To determine if your Planter is canola-compatible,inspect any row unit seed tube. If the seed tube color isdark translucent red, it is compatible. If the tube color isopaque buckskin (tan), the row units require an update.

Prepare MetersSee the Planter Operator Manual for step details.

1. Remove rain covers on all rows.

2. Clean out the Planter seed system, from hoppers tometer brushes.

3. Remove and save the presently installed seed disks.

4. Install the canola disks.

5. Install the rain covers.

Loading SeedUse ample Ezee Glide Plus seed lubricant with smallseeds such as canola and mustard.

• One cup (240 ml) per 30 pound (13.6 kg) bag is aminimum starting value.

• Mix the seed lubricant early during the seed loadingand mix well.

• Use more lubricant in extremely dry conditions.

Volumetric Seeding

These instructions explain how to operate and calibratethe Air-Pro® No. 1 84 cell volumetric seed disk.

For detailed instructions, refer to the DICKEY-john®

Quick Start Guide Planter Operation, or theDICKEY-john® IntelliAg®Planter/Drill Control Operator’sManual.

Prepare Meters

Possible Chemical Hazard:Seed disks will have talc and graphite residue, and may haveresidue of hazardous seed treatments. Wear gloves whenhandling seed disks. Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS) for any treated seeds recently planted.

Refer to the planter Operator’s Manual for detailedinstructions.

1. Clean out the seed meters.

2. Remove and store the current seed disks.

3. Inspect the brushes and clean as necessary.

When planting with the volumetric disk, a very smallpercentage of grain may be lost out the opening at theback of the seed tube. If the amount of loss is more thanyou desire a grain shield can be installed to stop this.

If necessary, order the grain shield using the part number403-596A VOLUMETRIC METER GRAIN SHIELD

NOTE:It is highly recommended that the grain shield be removedfrom the meter when going back to larger singulated seed.

To install the grain shield:

4. Remove the strip and block brush assembly. Savethe washer for reuse in step 6.

5. Remove the 5 16 inch hex-headed bolt and discard. It

is replaced with the 5 16 inch button head cap screw.

6. Position the grain shield (1) and reinstall with the5 16 inch button head cap screw (2) and saved

washer.

7. Re-install the strip and block brush assembly.

8. Install the volumetric disks as you would any otherseed disk.

9. Set the seed inlet shutter on each meter. See therate charts for your crop for suggested initial values.

Meter PressurizationDue to delivery of multiple seeds per disk cell, avolumetric crop requires a specific value of diskpressurization.

• 2.0 inches of water Hard Red Winter (HRW)• 2.5 inches of water Soft Red Winter (SRW)Do not operate below 2.0 inches of water

Note the suggested initial meter pressure. Have thisvalue at hand in the tractor cab.

CalibrateCalibration is essential for accurate populations:

Seed monitors cannot accurately count individual seedsin volumetric planting, both due to the small seed size,and due to multiple seeds per cell being often detectedas one seed.

Ground drive charts are only approximate, and only forthe seed variety and conditions used to develop thechart.

Your own rate records may also be approximate. Thesame seed variety planted at a different date can requirea rate adjustment due to different seed density, differentweather, different field speed, etc.

Population Risk:Volumetric planting based strictly on ground drive charts islikely to be inaccurate Volumetric planting based on seedmonitor seed counts is certain to be inaccurate.Calibrate. Check your actual rate by weight or by furrowcount. Check your seed consumption when refilling.

Calibrate your seed rate.

• For hydraulic drive Planters, use the “SpreaderCalibration” feature of the seed monitor.

• For ground drive or hydraulic drive Planters, rely ona furrow check.

Furrow Checking Rate1. Configure the Planter for the approximate rate,

based on the seed rate charts.

2. Set the meter pressure to the chart value.

3. Prime the meters. See your Planter Operator’sManual for information.

4. Plant for a short distance, just until the air deliverysystem is stabilized, and the meters are all deliveringseed.

5. Select one or more rows to sample.

6. Set the planting depth to shallow for the samplerow(s). Set the press wheels to minimum force. Usea wire to tie up the press wheel assembly.

7. Resume planting for a short distance.

8. Use a sampled row length of one foot (one meter).Count the seeds.

NOTE:Interpolate rows for more precise rate results. Double ortriple the sample length to improve accuracy.

9. On the tables below, find the nearest seeds per rowft (seeds per row meter) in the table for your rowspacing.

10. Look up the population, or pounds per acre(kilograms per hectare).

Volumetric Seed Monitor SetupIn volumetric planting, the seed monitor operatesbasically as a blockage detector. Any seed drop rateinformation is only approximate.

The seed monitor is operated as follows:

• hydraulic drive - GRAN SEED CONTROL• ground drive - GRAN SEED MONITOR

For detailed information, see the DICKEY-john®

Manuals.

Hydraulic DriveAdd at least one volumetric seed to the monitor’sMaterial Library. Settings for volumetric have differencesfrom settings for singulated seeds.

The Planter needs to be hitched to the tractor in whichthe DICKEY-john® Virtual Terminal (VT) is installed.

Calibration

You need a light weight container for each row sampled,and a scale that is accurate at the expected sampleweight.

Great Plains recommends using enough rows and/orrevolutions to generate a sample of about 10 pounds(4.5 kg), ideally:

• Use at least two rows.• Use no fewer than 5 meter revolutions.

1. Set the seed inlet shutters to 2.

2. Select the section and rows to be sampled.

3. Use the clutches to disconnect the other sections ofthe planter.

If the planter is equipped with Swath Command™,disable all but the tested rows.

4. Raise the planter, and install the lift cylinder transportlocks. Leave tractor hydraulic system active.

5. Bring the hydraulic fan up to planting speed.

6. Press the Fill Disk key and then the Row Fill key.This diverts all split air to seed delivery. Remain inthis mode until no more seed is flowing to meters.

7. Press the Work Screen key to return to the mainwork menu.

8. Press the Control Setup key and then theChannel Setup key.

9. Press the Spreader Calibration key.

10. Engage the hydraulic drive circuit.

11. Press the Fill Disk key. This turns the meters onerevolution to fill the disc cells.

12. Determine the meter revolutions needed. Thefollowing equation gives the number of meterrevolutions needed to meter 10 pounds. The tableson page 80 provide approximate pounds (kg) perrevolution of each wheel and seed.

13. Configure the seed monitor for the planter and crop(material). If the seed density is not known, use1 pound/cu-ft or 1 pound/bu.

14. Consult the rate chart for the crop (page 80). Notethe allowed Meter RPM range for the intended seedwheel and planting speed.

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

Moving Chain Hazard:Shafts turn and chains move as soon as the [Start] key ispressed on the seed monitor. Set up collection containers sothat they may be unattended. Keep all persons clear of thePlanter while calibrating.

16. In the Spreader Constant Calibration screen, enterthe # Meter Revs and press the Start key.

17. Weigh the containers plus seed (GrossWeight).Subtract the empty container weights to obtain thenet weight.

18. The seed monitor assumes that all rows were tested.If you tested fewer (commonly the case), scale thesample size to Planter-wide:

19. Enter the Amount Dispensed. The seed monitorcomputes a new Spreader Constant.

NOTE:If the net weight of the metered sampled was dramaticallydifferent than expected, run another calibration to validateor revise the new spreader constant.

20. Perform a Ground Speed Calibration procedure.

21. Refer to “Furrow Checking Rate” on page 76 toverify seed rates.

Example: 4 containers each weighing 8 oz.8 oz x 4 = 32 oz

YP825AR Table of Contents Index Dry Fertilizer Rate

Dry Fertilizer Rate

The Planter supports an optional dry fertilizer system.The system is powered by one of two sources:

• on ground drive Planters, the toothed meter grounddrive wheel,

• on hydraulic drive Planters, a dedicated ground drivetire mounted on the front tool bar near the fertilizertransmission.

Fertilizer rate is independent of seed rate range andtransmission settings.

Dry fertilizer rate is controlled by:

• a DRIVING (1) / DRIVEN (2) sprocket pair on thetransmission (3) at the left end of the opener frame.Sprockets are exchanged with a sprocket tree (4)mounted on the left end of that frame.

• a rate range feature in some configurations.Single-row Planters have a rate range auger setting.

Auger Rate RangeTwin row configurations with ground drive seed meteringhave no range feature for dry fertilizer rate. For a twinrow Planter, go to “Transmission Sprockets” onpage 85.

Single-row Planters have hoppers with auger-stylemetering. At the center of the shaft, the starting positionof the tapered auger controls coarse rate.

Material and Time Loss Risk:Before applying fertilizer make sure that augers are rotatingcorrectly and are positioned for your desired rate setting.

For chart low rate, set auger for a center gap (3).

For chart high rate, set augers for no center gap (4).

Transmission SprocketsInstall the DRIVING and DRIVEN sprockets called out inthe chart.

• The DRIVING sprocket is to the rear for ground drivePlanters (system powered by seed drive wheel).

• The DRIVING sprocket is to the front for Planterswith optional hydraulic drive (system powered bydedicated ground drive tire).

1. Loosen the bolt at the idler plate (1).

2. Rotate the idler plate to relax chain tension.

3. Lift the chain of the DRIVING and/or DRIVENsprockets that need to be exchanged.

4. Remove the pins from any sprocket that needs to bechanged, and from the storage tree (2).

5. Exchange sprockets between shafts and tree asneeded to match the chart values.

6. Engage the idler plate for the appropriate chain slack(see the planter Operator Manual for information onchain slack and chain orientation).

7. Tighten the idler plate bolt.

Determine the RateInitial chart rates are given for pounds per acre orkilograms per hectare.

NOTE:Great Plains recommends checking with your localAgronomist as soil conditions vary. Soil conditions inyour area may need lesser or more amounts of fertilizerthan represented in these charts.

Fertilizer Density AdjustmentThe fertilizer meter rate charts are based on fertilizer witha density of 65 lb/ft3 (1.04 kg/liter). If applying fertilizer ofa different density, use the table below to convertapplication rate.

Multiply the desired application rate by the conversionfactor.

Use the ChartRate to determine the initial sprocketsettings.

If the rate measured in calibration varies from the desiredfield rate by more than a few percent, apply the errorpercentage to the ChartRate, and pick a new sprocketpairing based on that.

Calibrate Dry Fertilizer RateChart rates are approximate, and are based on testmaterial, conditions and speeds that may vary fromyours. Checking actual application rate, and, as needed,adjusting the transmission (calibration) is stronglyrecommended.

If seed is loaded, disable the seed drive (on a grounddrive planter, remove the seed range chain).

1. Load ample fertilizer in one hopper.

2. Obtain collection containers (two for a single rowplanter and four containers for a twin row). Recordthe weight of the empty containers (TareWeight).

3. For the test hopper, disconnect the delivery hoses atthe coulter. Attach a collection container to eachhose. Alternatively, disconnect the hoses at thehopper outlets, and attach the collection containersthere.

4. Check the chart for the distance to sample (1/100thacre or 1/100th hectare) for the outlets to besampled. Measure off that distance in the field.

5. Lower the Planter in field conditions, pull forwarduntil material is flowing into the sample containers.Stop.

6. Empty the sample containers back into the hopper.

7. Line up at the start of the measured distance. Lowerthe Planter. Accelerate to intended applicationspeed. Stop and lift at the end of the measureddistance.

8. Add up the weights of the sampling containers(GrossWeight). Subtract the TareWeight. This is thesample NetWeight.

9. Return the sample material to the hopper.

10. Multiply the NetWeight by 100. The result is theTestRate, pounds per acre or kilograms per hectare,of fertilizer delivered.

11. Calculate an error factor for the TestRate vs. yourdesired FieldRate.

If the ErrorFactor is in the range 0.97 to 1.03, thesystem is operating at your desired field rate.Continue at step 14, otherwise continue at step 12.

NOTE:Rate adjustment increments may be as high as 12% fromone sprocket paring to the next. It may not be possible toset a precise rate.

12. Generate a (New)ChartRate by applying theErrorFactor to the (Old)ChartRate (the chart rateused for the recent trial)..

13. Adjust the auger as required. Install the transmissionsprockets for the new chart rate, and repeat step 7through step 11.

NOTE:If the auger setting is changed, be sure to run anothersample test.

14. Reconnect the delivery hoses to the hopper outlets.Re-install any seed meter drive system chainsremoved.

Application Rate Risk:Make field checks to assure you are applying fertilizer at thedesired rate. Fertilizer application rates can vary from theweights in the charts.

Reading a Fertilizer Rate Chart1. Find the charts for your Planter model and row

spacing, in your preferred units of measure.

2. Use the chart for your Planter’s meter drive.

3. Find your desired (or density-adjusted) rate in thelbs/acre or kg/hectare columns. Note that forsingle-row Planters, similar rates may appear in lowrate or high rate columns.

4. For single-row Planters, note which rate rangecolumn is being used. Set or verify the augerconfigurations to use this rate.

5. Note the transmission DRIVING and DRIVENsprocket tooth count values. Transmission sprocketssetting instructions are on page 85.

Liquid Fertilizer

The Planter supports an optional liquid fertilizer system.

NOTE:Great Plains recommends checking with your localAgronomist as soil conditions vary. Soil conditions inyour area may need lesser or more amounts of fertilizerthan represented in these charts. For in-furrowapplications, do not exceed 12 gallons per acre or 112liters per hectare in any case.

Setting Liquid Fertilizer Rate

Agricultural Chemical Hazard:Some chemicals will cause serious burns, lung damage, anddeath. Avoid contact with skin or eyes. Avoid prolongedbreathing of chemical fumes. Wear respirator and otherprotective equipment as required by chemical manufacturer.Seek medical assistance immediately if accident occurs. Knowwhat to do in case of an accident.

1. Determine application rate desired.

2. Determine sprocket paring and pump adjustersetting required to provide that rate. Use any of thefollowing resources:

• web calculator on the CDS-John Blue® web sitewww.cds-johnblue.com/flow-rate-calculator.shtml.See page 104.

• pre-computed tables starting on page 106• CDS-John Blue® slide chart (112718-01) provided

with the pump. Use the sprocket ratios and loadedradius shown in the table on page 112.

Equipment Damage Risk:Plant at or below 8.8 mph (14 kph) with the standard high ratesprockets installed. The pump is rated for 550 rpm maximum,which is exceeded at and above 8.9 mph.

Rate Range3. Check the current sprocket setup:

• Low range uses the 15T sprocket as DRIVING,and also as DRIVEN.

• High range uses the 47T sprocket as DRIVING,and the 15T sprocket as DRIVEN.

4. To change the range, loosen the idler (1), andremove the pins on the sprocket shafts. Exchangesprockets by selecting ones from the sprocketstorage stob (2). Re-pin. Engage the idler for3/8 inch (9 mm) slack in the lower chain span.

Pump Adjuster5. Using the box-wrench end of the CDS-John Blue

113918-01S tool (1), loosen the setting pointernut (2).

6. Use the other end of the tool to rotate the dial (3) tothe setting determined by the table, slide chart, orInternet calculator.

7. Tighten the pointer nut (2).

Determine Orifice SizeOrifice plates at each drop line provide back-pressurethat balances flow in the manifolds, assuring that eachrow obtains the same rate. Plates are provided with thesystem(s) in three sizes. Additional sizes are available.

Choose orifice size based on desired rate. For a givenrate, there may be more than one orifice size thatprovides the recommended back-pressure. To reduceorifice wear, orifice plugging and pump wear, use thelargest orifice practical for your fertilizer application rate.

Material Loss/Equipment Damage Risk:Set application rate at pump, not by orifice size. Orifice size isonly used to create 15-40 psi back pressure to provide evenflow between rows. An orifice size too small causes materialloss at relief valve. A size too large can cause irregular flow.

Use the same size at all active rows

The charts below show rate ranges for each Great Plainsorifice size and row spacing. You may need to change tothe next higher or lower orifice for a different fertilizersolution density and/or a different ground speed.

(Values based on: 8.0 kph, 1.28 kg/liter Fertilizer solution density)Recommended Rate Range in Liters per Hectare. Pressure is 15 - 40 PSI

Great Plains | 401-923B | 6/17/19 101


The orifice needs to be small enough to create enoughpressure in the manifold to operate the check valves inthe boom clamps.

The recommend operating pressure is 15 to 40 psi.

Using an orifice size too large can result in unequal flowat rows, intermittent flow, and flow stoppage at rowswhere pressure falls below the 8 psi required to open theclamp check valve. Using a size too small can causeexcess back-pressure resulting in material dumping atthe boom relief valve.

Agricultural Chemical Hazard:Wear protective gloves when changing orifice plates andstrainer screens. Consult material manufacturer or supplierdocuments for proper handling and steps to take if skin contactoccurs.

To install the orifice plates:

1. Insert the orifice plate (1) inside the gasket (2)supplied with the nozzle.

2. Insert the gasket and orifice plate with the numberside facing out the nozzle outlet (typically up).

NOTE:Replacement nozzles include gaskets. Gaskets may alsobe ordered separately as Great Plains (CP18999-EPR.).

Row ShutoffUnused drop lines may be shut off by replacing thenozzle (3) with a Great Plains 832-042C cap (4). Twinrow boom systems separately include caps for half therows.

When installing a cap:

• It is not necessary to remove the gasket and orificeplate from inside the clamp. The cap includes its owngasket that seals at the end of the clamp port.

• Use a tie wrap or other line to secure the loosenozzle and drop line tubing to the boom.

• Adjust pump and/or orifice plates for new rate androw spacing.

Mis-Application or Material Loss Risk:Do not apply materials after row shut-off or row turn-onwithout first reviewing setup. Changing the number of activerows does not change the application rate. If pump and/ororifice size changes are not also made, pressures could be toolow or too high.

StrainerA Banjo brand strainer is plumbed before the Hypropump. The standard 80 mesh screen (1) should besuitable for most applications. Other sizes are availablefrom Banjo.

Agricultural Chemical Hazard:Wear protective gloves when changing strainer screens.Consult material manufacturer or supplier documents forproper handling and steps to take if skin contact occurs.

If changing screen sizes, keep in mind the following.

• A smaller mesh (100) will keep very small manifoldorifice plates from plugging so often. However, thescreen will have to be cleaned more often.

• A larger mesh (50) or (30) will pass more materialbut should only be considered when using largemanifold orifice plates.

• A plugged or partially plugged screen will starve thepump resulting in a reduced application rate.

• Mesh sizes: (Smallest) 100, 80, 50, 30 (Largest)

Relief ValveThe relief valve (1) protects the manifold, lines andfittings from excessive pressure. Any product thatpasses the relief valve will discharge from the dumpline (2) in relative safety.

To set relief valve:

1. Unlock plastic jam nut (3) from relief valve knob (4).

2. Unscrew knob clockwise (looking down) until it losescontact with internal spring.

3. Screw knob counterclockwise two turns. Start at thissetting.

4. Observe manifold gauge (5) and watch for reliefvalve dump line discharge while operating in thefield.

5. If valve is dumping product and gauge reads under65 psi, stop tractor and, looking down, turn knobclockwise 1/4 turn. Continue operating at normal fieldspeed. Repeat this step as needed until no productis discharged from relief valve dump line.

6. If the pressure gauge reads above 65 psi, change toa larger orifice. Go to step 2 and repeat.

Slide Chart - Liquid Fertilizer Rate

The CDS-John Blue LM-1255 Pump includes a112718-01 slide chart for calculating pump settings.

To make the scales on this chart easier to use, this pageprovides adjusted data values. These adjusted valuesproduce results within 0.1% of the actual sprocketcombinations and loaded radius values.

1. Determine your desired application rate in gallonsper acre. If you need to set metric rates, use theCDS-John Blue web calculator (see page 104).

2. Use the chart on page 106 to determine whether youneed Low Range or High Range for this rate.

On the slide chart:

3. Move the upper sliding scale to align theSTANDARD SPROCKET COMBINATIONS“16 to 32” or “10 to 50” with the correspondingLOADED RADIUS “15” or “7”, respectively. Ignorethe “SPROCKET RATIO” scale.

NOTE:The actual LOADED RADIUS of the ground drive wheelis 11.5 inches in High Range, which is difficult to read onthe chart. The actual net SPROCKET RATIO for LowRange is 1.33, which is off-scale on the chart. The actualnet ratio for High Range is 4.18, which is difficult tomatch up with 11.5.

4. At chart center, use the lower sliding scale to alignswath width of your planter under the arrow.

5. At the bottom scale: “GALLONS PER ACRE MODELLM-1255 PUMP” find your desired application rate.Ignore the “L-4600” scale (which is for a differentpump model).

6. At the “PUMP SETTING” scale, read the pumpsetting at your rate.

Equipment Damage Risk:In High Range, do not exceed a field speed of 9 miles per hour(14.5 kph). The pump is at its maximum rate of 550 rpm at thisspeed. In Low Range, all practical field speeds are below 550rpm.

Ezee Glide Plus Talc+Graphite Mix

Ezee Glide Plus Lubricant

To maximize performance of Great Plains meteringsystems, it is imperative to use only “Ezee Glide Plus”lubricant. “Ezee Glide Plus” Talc-Graphite lubricant ismandatory for all seeds, especially treated or inoculatedseed. Thorough mixing of seed and added lubricant isrequired.

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 highconcentrations. As with all mineral spills, minimize dustingduring clean-up. Prolonged inhalation may cause lung injury.Product can become slippery when wet.

Recommended usage

For clean seeds other than milo, cotton, and sunflowerssprinkle one cup of Ezee Glide Plus Talc per 4 bushels orunits (170 ml per 100 liters) of seed.

For milo, cotton, and sunflowers double the application toone cup (or more) per 2 bushels or units (335 ml per100 liters) of seed.

For canola or mustard, 1 cup (240 ml) per 30 pound(13.6 kg) bag is a minimum starting value. Mix the seedlubricant early during the seed loading. Use morelubricant in extremely dry conditions.

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

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

Appendix B - Canola Field Update

If your Planter requires an update, order one of thefollowing kits per row:

NOTE:The kit includes a 150 cell and 250 cell canola seed disk.

Tools Required• soft lint-free cloth and non-abrasive window cleaner• 100% clear silicone sealant• basic hand tools• current parts manual (401-923P) for parts ID

Update Preparation1. Move Planter to an area with adequate light, and a

clear surface for recovery of any dropped parts.

2. Perform a seed meter clean-out.

3. For access to center rows, raise and fold Planter.

4. Remove rain covers and seed disks from all rows.

See the planter Operator Manual for detailedinformation.

Perform remaining steps one row at a time, so that youhave unmodified and fully modified rows to compare to.Starting with the right-most row may be the easiest. Ontwin-row, locking up left rows of pairs may ease access.

Update Brushes5. Rotate two brush holder snaps (1) securing the

brush holder for the long strip brush (2), short stripbrush (3), and the drop brush (4).

6. Remove and discard the old brushes. Save thebrush holder.

7. Clean out brush slots in meter housing.

NOTE:Older brushes do not meter reliably with the canola disk.Older brushes cannot be visually distinguished from newbrushes.

8. Select one each:

9. Install strip brushes in the holder. Install holder anddrop brush in meter. Ensure strip brushes are seatedlow in housing. Secure with snaps and bolts.

Loosen Meter10. Remove the clevis pin (5) that secures the seed

tube (6) to the opener shank. This pin is secured bya cotter pin on the left side (not shown). Save bothpins.

NOTE:It is not necessary to disconnect the meter chain, hoses orany sense line tubing.

11. Remove and save two mounting bolts (7) and thefront bolt (8) securing the meter mount to the openershank. Loosen the rear bolt.

12. Move the meter mount to the left and rear.

NOTE:This illustration shows the row with rain cover and seeddisk removed, and for clarity, the right gauge wheel andopener disk is removed. It is not necessary to remove thegauge wheel and disk for this update.

Update Seed Tube13. Remove and save the seed tube gasket (9).

NOTE:If the Planter has Row-Pro™ servo down-pressure,several rows have an extra cable from load cell to harnessthat routes through the gasket. It is not possible tocompletely remove the gasket on these rows. Slide thegasket up out of the way.

14. Pull the old seed tube up and out of the openershank. Be careful to not damage the extra cable onrows with Row-Pro™ load cells. The seed sensor(10) and its cable, and seed tube hook clip (11) willcome out with the seed tube.

15. Note how the sensor is aligned on the tube. Cut thecable ties securing the seed sensor to the seed tube.Remove and save the sensor components.

16. Remove and save the seed tube hook clip.

17. Discard the seed tube.

NOTE:Older seed tubes do not support detection (includingblockage detection) of very small seeds.

18. Select one:

19. Clean and dry the face (14) of the sensor receiver.This may require carefully removing existing siliconesealant. Clean and dry the front face of the sensorlocating ring (15) on the new tube.

20. Apply a generous dab of clear silicone sealant to thefront (outside) face (15) of the sensor locating ring.Avoid introducing any air bubbles.

21. Attach the saved seed sensor to the new seed tube.Secure with new ties.

22. Snap the saved seed tube hook clip on the new seedtube. Verify that the rear center hole in the clip isover the alignment stud on the seed tube.

23. Insert the new seed tube assembly into the shank.Take care not to snag any Row-Pro™ load cell cablepresent. Note that a lower hook on the seed tubehook clip needs to engage a pin (17).

24. Secure seed tube with clevis pin (5) and cotter pin.
