First time drilling, always used a contractor in the past. Using a Lemken combi drill with electronic metering. The metering wheel is a small rubber wheel and in the current conditions it's picking up a lot of soil which seems to be affecting the speed on the Lemken screen. When I get out and clear the soil off it, it's reading near enough the same as the radar on the tractor, but after a few runs it starts to read about 10% slower than the tractor. I assume this will affect the seed rate negatively, so should I be increasing the seed rate by 10% and just leave the soil on the wheel?
Also, what's the normal sequence for lifting out and dropping in again at the headlands? Struggling to get it completely slick, between lift arms / pto / front press etc.
Not using bout markers or pre-em markers as we have full auto steer for drilling and spraying.
Anyway pics showing first day out to prove it actually happened!!
