Central Kansas | ...I didn't but did find the problem after planting 30 acres of Beans yesterday. Monitor showed 1 hopper of 8 rows not planting up to population while the other hopper showed an acceptable population. The hopper with the acceptable population is the one without the hopper level sensor and after 30 acres, ran out of seed in that one. Looked in the other hopper and there was toooooooooo much seed left, indicating I had a problem somewhere. Running a 240 hole drum and found that the cutoff wheels were not lined up right and only shutting off the air to half the holes. Put a wedge in to hold the cutoff wheel bracket in it's proper place and finished the field that way, beating the rain. With it raining this morning, AGAIN, will either adjust or bend the bracket to it's proper position.
This is my first planting of Beans with this new to me planter and seem to learn something every time it goes to the field. So bottom line, if your monitor works, trust what it's telling you! | |
