Manufacturing, Inc. www.greatplainsmfg.com Seed, Native Grass, Small Seeds and Fertilizer Rate Charts The following pages are to assist in the proper setting of seeding and fertilizer rates for the 2006- 706NT and 1006NT No-Till Drills. The rates indicated in the charts are approximate values. To assure the most accurate seeding rate it is recommended that the drill be calibrated for the desired seed at the time of planting.

Great Plains Mfg., Inc. 1 Main Seed Box Planting Calibrating the seeding rate requires four steps: 2 1. selecting one of four drive types, 2. setting the seed-rate handle, 3. positioning the feed-cup door, and 4. checking the seed rate. Refer to the seed rate charts beginning on page 4. These charts list the proper drive type and seed-ratehandle settings for various seeds and seeding rates. The seed rate charts are based on cleaned, untreated seed of average size and test weight.
Great Plains Mfg., Inc. 2 Position Seed Cup Doors Refer to Figure 3, which depicts the seed cup door handle in position 3 . At each seed box seed tube, adjust the seed cup door handle 4 for the seed size. 4 The handle has three normal operating position detents: 1 2 3 (top detent) is for the smallest seeds. Use it for wheat and similar small seeds. (middle detent) is for larger seeds. Use it for soybeans and similar larger seeds. (bottom detent) is for oversize or fragile seeds.

Drill Model 706NT 1006NT Note: You can also rotate the gauge wheel jackshaft by means of a wrench or socket. If rotating gauge wheel jackshaft, disengage the lockout on the drive wheel and use same number of rotations as for rotating drive wheel. Revolutions for One Acre Hectare 595 1470 411 1016 8.

Great Plains Mfg., Inc. 19 Native Grass Attachment The Native Grass box is for seeding fluffy, native grass blends like Big Blue Stem, Indian Grass, and Oats Grama. To adjust seeding rate: 1. Find the desired pounds per acre on the Native Grass Rate Chart. Refer to Figure 6 2. Determine which sprocket is required for the native grass box. The sprockets are stored on the right hand side of the drill frame. To change sprockets, loosen the chain idlers and remove chain.
Great Plains Mfg., Inc. 20 5. Turn gauge wheel or crank several times to fill seed cups with seed. Turn wheel or calibration crank until seed falls to the ground from each cup. 6. Place empty container under the three seed tubes to gather seed as it is metered. 7. Rotate gauge wheel or calibration crank 595 rotations for 706NT and 411 rotations for 1006NT. This is equal to one acre. Note: You can also rotate the gauge wheel jackshaft by means of a wrench or socket.

Great Plains Mfg., Inc. 22 Fertilizer Rate Fertilizer application rates will vary with fertilizer type, density and particle size. Relative humidity and field conditions can also affect application rates. The chart on page 23 is based on material with a density of 65 pounds per cubic foot (1.04 kg/L) and average particle size. Initially set rate according to the charts, then calibrate the drill to your material as described below.
Great Plains Mfg., Inc. 23 9. Turn gauge wheel or calibration crank for: 595 rotations for the 706 drill and 411 rotations for the 1006 drill. This is equal to one acre. 10. Check that the three feed cups have plenty of fertilizer coming into them. 11. Weigh metered material. Subtract initial weight of the empty container. Divide by 3. Multiply by the number of openers on your drill to determine total pounds-per-acre metered. If this figure is different than desired, reset adjustment knob accordingly.
