Setting the seed rate
Short explanation with an example:

Wanted is:
1. Type of seed
Seed rate: 125 kg/ha
Row spacing: 11,9 cm, with AMAZONE Seed Drill D8 SUPER
Proceed with the following settings on your seed drill:
2. Shutter slide Position
Bottom flap Position
Normal- or fine seed metering wheel
Hlnts: e. g. stop agktator shaft

Use setting Chart to determine the gearbox setting No. for the first calibration test:
~ ~ 3. Given row spacing
4. Given seed rate (kg/ha)
5. Type of seed drill
6. Gearbox setting No. for first calibration test

The seed rates shown in the setting table (kg/ha) tan only serve as reference
values. Therefore conduct calibration trials to accurately determine seed rates.
Important advice which you should consider before every
calibration test!
tn your seed drill instruction manual there at-e detailed instructions regarding the procedure of the
calibration test. Additionally we woufd like to inform you about the changes in the flowing properties
of seeds and the effects on the callbration test.
Therefore please consider the following advice:

Seeds for sowing are available with various surface treatments, whch could be:
- untreated seeds
-_ seeds treated with powdered (dry) dressings
- seeds treated with moist (liquid) dressrngs

All the above mentioned differently treated seeds will have different flowing properties. Additionally
these flowrng properties are changed by the reaction of the dressing to ambient conditions such as
temperature or humidrty of the air.

Points to note:
Point 1: Whenever getting a new shipment of seed always conduct a calibration test.
Point 2: In every case the seedbox should be half filled with seed.
Point 3: Before starting a calibration test the metering wheels and metering wheel housings should
be filled with seed which tan be achieved by turning the calibration trank until the cali-
bration trays are full. Thereafter they should be emptied rnto the seed box again. The
reason is that mechanical influences, especially the work of the agitator shaft, tan also
rnfluence the flowing properties. With fine seeds the calibratlon trays need not be com-
pletely filled; here about 200 trank turns are sufficient.

At most dressed seed a balance Situation will then have been achieved and the seed rate does not
Change during the sowing Operation.
With dry dressed seeds the balance Situation, however, cna be fulfilled very often after only having
sown two to three seed box fillings.
Point 4: With dry dressed seeds the calibration should be repeated after two to three seed
box fillings.
Point 5: On thefirst Operation of the seed drill the calibration test should be repeated after approx.
1 ha. sown, as with new machines the surfaces of the metering components are changed
by residue of seed dressrng which then again will have an affect on the flowing properties
of the seed or of the seed rate.
Fig. 1

Fig. 2
Point6: If the bottom flaps are mis-adjusted this tan result in uncontrolled metering of additional
seed during the sowing Operation. The basic adjustment of the bottom flaps therefore
should be checked every half year or before every sowing season. It should be checked on
an empty seed box and empty metering wheel housings as follows:
- Bnng bottom flap stetting lever (Fig. l/l) at the restlng plate (Fig. 1/2) into Position “1”.
- Check, whether the prescribed gab of 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm (see Fig. 2) between bottom flap
(Fig. 2/3) and metering wheel (fig. 2/2) in every metering wheel housing (Fig. 2/1) is
maintalned. To do this the metering wheel to be checked should be turned by hand on the
metering shaft.
If found necessary reset the prescribed gap at the spring tensioning screw (Fig. 2/5).

Advice regarding the seed rate setting charts:

The setting Position of the bottom flap lever depends on the seed and may be taken from the setting
Charts. At some seeds two figures are stated. The first figure then refers to seeds with 1000 grain
weight FGW) of above 40 g, the second figure is related to aTGW of below 40 g.

Determination of the gearbox scale setting No. with the aid
of the seed rate calculation disc rule (Fig. 3)
If the first calibratron test does not bring the desired seed rate, the new gearbox scale lever setting
for the correct seed rate tan simply be determrned by the enclosed seed rate calculation disc rule
(FIT. 3). Th~s disc rule consists of 3 scales: One outer whrte scale (Fig. 3/1) for all seed rates above
30kg/ha and an rnner white scale (Frg. 3/2) for all seed rates below 30 kg/ha. On the mrddle coloured
scale (Fig. 3/3) the gearbox lever scale setting No.? from 1 to 100 are indicated.

How to use the disc rule (example)

Desrred seed rate 125 kg/ha

- From the first cnlibration test conducted at a gearbox lever setting oi”70” (any other gear box lever
settrng may also be Chosen) a seed rate of 175 kg/ha was obtained.
- Now turn the rnner disc until the obtarned seed rate of “175 kg/ha” (Fig. 3iA) is in Itne with the
- related actual gearbox lever setting No. of “70” (Fig. 3/8)
- Now read off the disc rule the necessary gear box lever settrng No. for the requrred seed rate of
125 kg/ha (Frg. WC). In our example the correct setting No IS “50” (Fig. 3/D)
To be on the safe srde you rnay check the new gear box lever setting No. by another cahbration test.
Calibration test
The number of necessary wheel turns is related to an area of ‘/LIDha (250 m2) or ‘/IO ha (1000 m’) and
depends on the tyre size and the working width.

Calculating the number of wheel/crank turns

Hints for sowing with the stepless variable gearbox with two
range low/high rate adjuster
The AMAZONE seed drill gearbox allows a stepless Change of the metering shaft and thus of the
seed rate. Two shaft Speeds tan be selected by turning a pinion of the low/high rate adluster:

low rate high rate

(ref. Fig. 4/A) 1_ .._~‘yef.zg. ~-.--.
4/W -
By changing the gearbox from low to high rate the setting range of the setting scale is increased. The
factory supplies the gearboxes always set on the low rate. The high rate should only then be used
when at setting “100” on the scale in the low rate the desired seed rate cannot be obtained.

Setting the gearbox to high seed rate setting

if it is necessary to change the gearbox from IOLYto high rate, open the side cover {Fig. 4/2) at the
gearbox housing by undoing the thumb bolt (Fig. 4/3) and the two thumb nuts.
Pull the lower pinion off the shaft (Fig. 4/1) and reinsert it after turning it as shown in Fig. 5/1. If it is
impossible to remove the pinion by hand move the metering shaft with a pair of pliers In the turning
dlrection of the shaft until the pinion tan be removed easily from the shaft.

Whilst the pinion in the low rate setting (Fig. 4) is being driven by the upper pinion, it is running free
when in the high rate settlng (Fig. 5). After changing the Position of the pinion put on cover again.

Determining the gearbox setting number after conversion to

high seed rate
For determining the correct gearbox setting No. after conversion to high rate setting conduct your
first calibratlon teste. g. with the gearbox setting No. “50”. With the weight of seed collected find your
correct settlng with the aid of the setting disc rule.
For the first calibration test the gearbox setting No. tan also be calculated by the seed rate Chartas
follows:
Divide the desired seed rate (kg/ha) by 3 and take from the setting table that setting No. which
corresponds to the calculated seed rate. Now conduct your first calibration test with this gearbox
setting No.

For any seeds which are not mentioned in the setting Chart we recommend for the first cali-
bration test to lookfor corresponding values of another seed having a similar size of the grain.
If the first callbration test did not result in the desired seed rate the new gearbox lever scale setting
for the correct seed rate tan simply be determined by the enclosed seed rate calculation disc rule
(please refer to the corresponding chapter).
