| when the drill is down, and the openers are to-depth, what are you seeing for rod stick-up on the down pressure springs? I too have a bare yetter cart with a 20' 5400 I keep my pressure adjuster to max all the time, but in harder soil, I'll adjust the 2 front drive tires so it puts the planter closer to the ground- which increases down pressure immensely. Which would be way too much pressure for worked ground. I like to see about 4-5 inches of that rod sticking up from the spring holders in no-till ground.
getting it set on one tractor won't mean it's good for anything hitched to it. a change in 4-5 inches of tractor tongue height can change the down pressure big time. I also have several rows where the packer wheel (depth guage) is different according to where the tractor wheel track is. Most are in the 2nd notch from the rear, some are in the 3rd.
Check to see if your down pressure adjuster brackets haven't sheared a mounting bolt near the jack screw. How fast are you pulling it? no till needs to slow down a little.. give it time to cut-in. |
