ecmn | heres my spring check list.
measure disk openers cant be less then 14.5"'s
make sure disks roll nice
make sure the bushings for the guage wheels are not slopped out.
make sure the guage wheels are very close to the opener disks.
make sure bottom of seed tube isnt broke or wore out
check closing wheels that bearings role smooth
make sure gauge wheels roll smooth.
make sure all chains are free moving, all driveline bearings are in good shape
make sure planter is level when in operating position hooked up to the tractor
make sure closing wheels are centered above seed trench, not one wheel running on the trench
check parrellel arms for wear on the bushings/bolts and bolts are tight.
finger units, check spring tension on each finger, backing plate cant have any rust or flaking of finish plate has to be smooth where the seed rides so you dont hurt the seed,
back of fingers cant be to worn,
there is a singulating bump on the backing plate make sure its in good shape
replace all seed belts with new precision ones from shoup yes they are worth it for better seed spacing and reduced skip/double situations.
put nut on finger just tight enough so the units are very stiff by hand to turn. clean threads and nut will not be much more then finger tight.
check markers for cracks make sure blades roll nice
make sure markers alternate going up and down | |
