Before Beginning Work

• Be sure all the seed cups completely close and open the same, so all cups are putting out the exact amount of seed. If they are not in sync, one cup will put out more than others.
• Ensure when completely closed, the seeding gears are not protruding from the outside the cup.
• Adjust the clamps to ensure all cups close and open completely and uniformly.

To Adjust Seed Output 

The Seed cups on the SAYA may come with either of two different style of seed cups or a combination of both. Typically the front Seed box section is equipped with a “Large Seed Cup” and the rear section typically has the Legume Seed Box.

SAYA Seed Cups 

The Large Seed front section is usually driven with an 11-26 Gear ratio, while the back Legume Seed section is being reduced to put out less with a 12-40 Gear Ratio.

Seeding/Fertilizing Rate Adjustment Handle

To adjust the fertilizer rate, you will need to adjust hand wheels (on each side of hopper).The seed/fertilize rate depends on the seed/fertilizer you want to plant, please refer to your seed/ fertilizer supplier’s chart to get the proper seed/fertilize rate. Before adjusting the seed rate, return the rate on the Scale to zero by rotating the hand wheel, then check and make sure all seeding/fertilizing wheels are fully closed on all seeding/ fertilizing boxes. (SEE BEFORE BEGINNING section) If not, you need to loosen the clips on both sides of the seeding/fertilizing wheel and push the wheel into the box. Tighten the clips. When the seeding/fertilizing box is closed and the meter indicates “0”. Adjust fertilizing rate by rotating the hand wheel. The meter has 8 numbers from 0-8, from zero to Maximum. Weight, size, relative humidity, and moisture content can affect seeding rates. Users can adjust the position of the seed/fertilizer “TONGUE” and lock in different positions by moving the cotter pin to meet the different seeding/fertilizing size. The smaller the seed, the higher up the TONGUE should be positioned. For larger seed, the “TONGUE” should be opened more.

Important: Tighten locking nut on handle assembly before operating.

Seed Cup Shutoff

Depending on the crop being planted, it may be necessary to not disburse from all of the seed cups. This is easily done by simply sliding the “Seed shut off flap” in and out.

Additional Weight Platform

Important: The machine comes equipped with additional weight platforms to help penetrate harder soils. Do not overload!

Disc Alignment

The Disc Support Bracket must be in the correct orientation prior to operating the implement. The corners of the Disc Support Bar must be in the 12 O’clock, 3 O’clock, 6 O’clock & 9 O’clock positions. The Disc Support Bracket will be parallel to the ground, Fig. “A”.

If the Disc Support Bracket is not parallel to the ground, as shown in Fig “B”, disconnect the Disc Support Brackets and Torsion Bar Clamp, Fig “C”.

Disc Alignment (Cont.)

Position the Disc Support Bar as shown in Fig. “D”. Adjust the Torsion Adjustment Wheel so that the threads are about 3-1/2” from the threaded bracket to the adjustment wheel, Fig. “E”. Be sure to tighten all hardware before operating the implement.

What Agents Can I Use As A Filler To Reduce Application Rate?

Below is a list of agents that may be used as filler to reduce the application rate on Seeders. This list is not a complete list and intended only to be an aid in reducing the amount of seed dispensed. You must evaluate what would be the best thing to add to the particular seed you are dispensing.

1. Vericulite Fertilizer
2. Malorganite Fertilizer
3. Rice Hulls
4. Kitty Litter
5. Coarse Saw Dust
6. Pelletized Lime
7. Cracked Corn
8. Oats
9. Wheat
