Mi | I won't have it home till probably end of next week, didn't the the operating manual yet either.
Its a finger unit, 28'' rows.
What sprocket configuration would get me close to 32k seeds per acre with corn? I'm just looking for some place to start, I know I'll have to see what the seed spacing is and adjust accordingly. Which gets me to me next question, if I want 32k per acre on 28'' rows, what should the seed spacing be? Wouldn't it be around 6.8''?
On soybeans, it comes with the bean cups. Which I know is far from the best thing out there, but it will have to make due for this year, next spring I'll get the Precision corn meter kit from Shoup's and the soybean meters.
Say I want 130k an acre, 28'' rows, what would roughly be the seed spacing on those? I'm figuring about 7 beans per foot?
I'll be using a JD 4440 powershift to pull it, 5th gear @ 1500rpms should give me 4.5mph ground speed, correct?
Does that seem to be the speed everyone is using when using the 7000 planters?
