Hello All,
I have just bought a CO 4 drill, with Accord metering and electric drive. It has the old style drill manager box. It is over doing the seed rate by nearly exactly 1.5 on fine seed. I have the fine seed slide across, it has calibrated, I have done a seed check on the box, which is fine, I have done the distance check which is spot on. I had a feeling that it was set for a 6m drill, but I have checked the set up in the controller, and it is set to 4000mm width. Anyone had similar, or have any ideas? Tia
