Max seed rate from an accord

[Andy26]

??

85 turns of the handle gives one tenth of a hectare, see post 17 above, 34.5 turns would give you approx. one tenth of an acre.

 

[Timbo]

34 turns for 1/10 ac

 

[Andy26]

Your max seed rate will be approx. 554kg/ha.

All clear behind the flap. 34.5 turns 1/10 of a ha

thats for a acre!

Yes I know that’s why I said earlier we multiple it up to get it into ha. So 34.5 turns x 10 x 2.471

doesnt work on a meter like that
the meter needs to turn a 1/10 of what it actually sows

Ermmm...

That was just a typo. Corrected now [emoji1303]

Irrelevant of everything else we can put 500kg into the hopper (weighbridge weighed) and it will run out after 2.2ha irrelevant of forward speed.

the barrel is defiantly sliding when you open and close the handle?
the small seed flaps arnt stuck out?

You either have the incorrect ratio on the landwheel drive (but the calibration says it cannot be this) or you have a blockage above the metering unit, as the calibration will not matter if the fan works or not you can eliminate that part to.

It would probably cost more than the 25 year old Combi it would be fitted on.

Taken the top of the mushroom off and the pipe is clear down to the metering unit. Next thing is the take take the metering unit off.

Is the red tag in my last picture anything to do with this? As said it’s old, no instruction book and hardly used. Even when it has it’s been 150kg/ha for wheat or much less for stewardship strip seeds.

Still well worth it .

Cannot see a red tag?

It will be nothing to do with the mushroom, this is all encountered by the seed after metering and if you are getting a low rate with a static calibration it is definitely the metering unit or the seed feed to it. Then mico metering would give you perhaps a max of 50kg/ha so its not that.

Is the cell wheel worn? Are the rubber flaps in place?

You're going to have to empty the seed but a picture of the fully open metering roller through the bottom flap would help diagnosis.

Note, I can only see one of your first pictures due to 'attachment permission error' that some posters experience.

Try alterting the little red sprocket that sits inside the bigger one, pull it out or push it in , putting in the opposition position it is now and retry calibrating
