John Deere 7000 for sugar beets

[Rogers38]

I have a John Deere 7000 with kinze brushless soybean meters. I just bought a set of red milo 30 cell plates for it. What gear clog setup do I need for population of about 32000 for sugar beets?

Thanks

Try a 7 tooth on the driver sorocket, and an 14 tooth on the driven sprocket. That's based on a 30" row.

I'll do exactly what you say. Thanks

Here's a good chart showing how to count population in a row. It also works when setting up and checking planter population before planting. Either rotate the drive wheel equal to 17'-4" and catch the seeds and count, or roll across hard ground and measure out 17' and count the seeds on top of the ground and multiply X 1000.
