Have you figured what your actual pop is when youve finished field? Not sure if same on yours, but on our Deere it seems the sensors can't count fast enough at higher speeds. We plant beans at 7 mph and the monitor shows about 8-10000 less than actual planted pop. When we drive slower it shows close to actual.
I got rained out before I could finish the field but did some calculating by my scales. Only got 32 acres done and have scales on the planter. I am not sure how many beans would be in 16 mini hoppers and the lines. But if I went straight by the scales I dropped 144k. I know there is some in the mini hoppers and lines though but can't be more than a bag or two at the most. If I take 100 lbs off I dropped 137k. So I guess I might be right on the money I just never saw the old planter read 15-20k off by planting 2 mph different. |
1250 planter in beans monitor reading 10k less than what pop is set at?
