PL5700 Planter Table of Contents Index Introduction

Great Plains | 411-681B | 06/16/2020 1

Introduction

This Material Rate Manual assists in the proper

setting of seeding and fertilizer rates for the PL5700

planter.

To assure the most accurate seeding rate, it is

recommended to check singulated rates and

calibrate for fertilizer application rate at the time of

planting.

Some setup, operation, and adjustment material in

this manual may be repeated from the planter

operator manual. You need to be thoroughly familiar

with planter operations and adjustments before

applying the information from this manual.

Many factors can affect rates including foreign

material, seed treatment, seed size, seed weight,

field conditions, humidity, tire pressure, and tire

slippage.

Safety Information

The safety symbol indicates a potential safety

hazard to persons operating or near the

machine and advises on how to avoid it.

The notice symbol indicates a potential for

machine or property damage from operator

error and advises on how to avoid misuse.

The information symbol indicates useful - but

not crucial - information for machine

operation, assembly, or adjustment.

Review the safety information in the operator manual

before calibrating or making any adjustments to the

planter.

PL5700 Planter Table of Contents Index Planting Overview

Planting Overview

This section covers important set up and checking

information that applies to the Air-Pro® seed meter

when planting at one seed per disk cell using

hydraulic drive, ground drive, or IRC.

Seed Rate Setting Summary

Determine the intended population, for your crop, in

seeds/acre or seeds/hectare. If only the seed spacing

or population in pounds/acre or kg/hectare is known,

see the charts on this page and “Seed Spacing” on

page 3.

For the crop, population, and desired field speed,

select the correct seed disk, see “Meter Disk

Selection” beginning on page 4.

Set the meter rate:

For ground drive, see “” on page 15.

For hydraulic drive or IRC drive, see “IRC/Hydraulic

Drive” on page 9.

Prepare the meters. See the planter operator manual

for details.

Set the initial seed inlet gate according to the seed

rate chart. See “Meter RPM Limit Charts” on

page 10 or “Ground Drive Seed Rate Charts” on

page 15.

Set the initial meter pressurization. See “Meter

Pressurization” on page 6.

Verify the planting rate according to the instructions on

“Checking Planting Rate” on page 8.

Seeds per Unit

If only the weight (lb/acre or kg/hectare) is known,

obtain the population count by multiplying the weight

by the kernels per pound value from the seed

container.

Example: milo

80,000 Seed Bag Weight Kernels per Pound

67.5 lbs 1185

65.0 lbs 1231

62.5 lbs 1280

60.0 lbs 1333

57.5 lbs 1391

55.0 lbs 1455

52.5 lbs 1524

50.0 lbs 1600

47.5 lbs 1684

45.0 lbs 1778

42.5 lbs 1882

40.0 lbs 2000

37.5 lbs 2133

35.0 lbs 2286

32.5 lbs 2462

30.0 lbs 2667

27.5 lbs 2909

25.0 lbs 3200

Target rate 4.5 pounds/acre

Seed density 14,500 seeds/pound

Population = rate x density

= 4.5 x 14,500

= 65,250 seeds/acre

PL5700 Planter Table of Contents Index Planting Overview

Meter Pressurization

Refer to the planter operator manual for the

procedure for fine tuning meter pressurization.

Start with pressures from the charts which are based

on crop, and for corn seed shape and density.

These values are suggested initial (starting)

pressures. Use the console to adjust the values up or

down according to the procedure in the operator

manual.

Corn Initial Meter Pressurization

Initial seed inlet gate for corn is 3.

1. Pick the chart based on seed shape (flat or

round).

2. Pick a line based on seed size (large or small).

3. Find the seed density on the bottom scale.

4. Read the suggested starting pressure on the left

scale where the line intersects the density.

Example: large round corn, 2800 seeds/kg

(1260 seeds/pound)

Use the line on the right of the chart, under

“Round Corn-Large” (based on seed size).

Initial meter pressurization is 3.4 inches of water

The example is shown as dotted gray lines on the

first chart.
