AGRONOMY - Planter Calibration
Meter calibration is the first step toward spacing perfection. Your Precision Planting dealer can use this diagnostic tool to evaluate the performance of your vac, air and finger meters. Worn parts? Large seed? Variable seed sizes? Seed coatings? Questions about optimum speed? The Meter Max test stand answers all of these questions. Your MeterMax technician can fine tune your meters to gain 2, 3 or 4 percent improvement in singulation. Based on our testing, for every one percent improvement in placement accuracy, you have the potential to earn an additional $5 per acre.
Meter Max calibration system is a simple way to measure the ability of your corn planting meter to accurately drop seed from your corn planting units.
How do you know how well your meters are running? The MeterMax System and your Precision Planting dealer is the answer. The MeterMax System is a simple way to measure the ability of your meter to singulate seed. We mount your meter in the stand, fill it with the type and size of seed you plan to plant, and then record the performance based on your population and planting speeds.
Put your meters on a MeterMax and get precise seed spacing.
Here's how your certified MeterMax operator does it:
How it works: We mount your planter units to the Meter Max calibration stand, then we use the type and size of seed you will plant, then we record and adjust your planting units for the speed you will travel. Our certified Meter Max personnel will then clean and replace worn parts on your planter units. We will adjust the meter and retest your units until we have eliminated all plant meter errors. This makes for better plant population, better seed spacing, better stands, more yield and higher profits.
