[QUOTE="Woodlander, post: 5372354, member: 1516"] I'd go for a mimumum 20% difference. We started varying seed rate in 2000 when we bought a Kuhn combi drill with a actuator for on the move adjustment. Initially we set it at 10% difference but after a few years felt this was not enough. We increased it to the maximum travel which gives us around 18% depending on seed rate. In 2012 we bought a second hand Vaderstad Rapid, which enabled us to adjust to whatever level we want. Generally set it to 20% increase, and we have the option to press the + button twice to increase to 40% if necessary. [/QUOTE]
