Manufacturing, Inc. www.greatplainsmfg.com Seed, Small Seeds, Native Grass and Fertilizer Rate Charts The following pages are to assist in the proper setting of seeding and fertilizer rates for the 2007+ 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.
Great Plains Mfg., Inc. 3 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. 8. Check that the three seed cups have plenty of seed coming into them. 9. Weigh metered seed. Subtract initial weight of container. Divide by three. Multiply by the number of openers on your drill to determine total pounds seeded per acre.

Great Plains Mfg., Inc. 19 Native Grass Attachment Series II The Native Grass box is for seeding fluffy, native grass blends like Big Blue Stem, Indian Grass, and Oats Grama. Setting Native Grass Rate 2 1 3 Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 Seeding rate of the native Grass box is controlled by the gearbox Drive Type 1 and a Driven sprocket 2 on the gearbox output chain. Rate levers on other boxes do not affect Native Grass rate.
Great Plains Mfg., Inc. 20 Great Plains Calibration for Series II Native Grass Drills Our method for calibration will work on any type of native grass no matter what seed type, weight, or density. See page 24 for steps specific to Brome. We give you the drill’s revolutions per acre at the native grass cup and allow you to calibrate the output in pounds by cup sprocket revolution per acre. This is the most consistent calibration procedure that will work on all types of native grasses.
Great Plains Mfg., Inc. 21 11. Weigh metered seed, and subtract the initial weight of the container. Divide this number by 3 (number of cups metered). Finally, multiply by the number of openers on the drill. This equals the pounds per acre at this drive setting. Refer to the formulas on the right.
Great Plains Mfg., Inc. 22 Calibration Formulas and Sample Calibration Formulas Know your Desired seed rate in pounds per acre Weigh the empty sample container(s) Operate crank/gauge wheel for one acre Weigh the collected seed plus container(s) Calculate the sampled rate at each seed cup.
Great Plains Mfg., Inc. 23 Refer to Figure 12 The Series II Native Grass attachment includes this standard agitator. IMPORTANT ! To prevent damage to the Native Grass box agitator and its drive components, do not transport drill with Native Grass box loaded with seed. IMPORTANT ! For Native Grass Mix Only Powdered graphite may be mixed with the native grass seed mix to improve seed flow and metering.
Great Plains Mfg., Inc. 24 Seeding Brome Grass with Native Grass Box The calibration for seeding Brome Grass differs from the native Grass Mix calibration. The chart provides an initial (pre-calibration) value in pounds per acre. To adjust seeding rate: 1 2 3 1. Find the desired pounds per acre on the Brome Grass Rate Chart (page 26). Refer to Figure 14 2. Determine which Driven sprocket 1 is required for brome grass. The sprockets are stored on the right-hand side of the drill frame.
Great Plains Mfg., Inc. 25 11. Rotate gauge wheel or calibration crank one acre. See table at right for revolutions per acre. 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.

Great Plains Mfg., Inc. 27 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 28 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. Refer to Figure 16 1.
