Cub planter and sidedresser

I recently acquired a one row planter for my cub. I have been reading the manual online and have a couple of questions. What gear arrangement do I need to use to plant sweet corn? I have a 13 tooth drive gear on the rear of the tractor. I also need advice on what international planter plates to get. Do I need a 16 cell plate or a 24 cell plate?

I also need help with the sidedresser settings. I have been using it to side dress the corn but am not sure if I am applying the correct rate. The lever adjustment is froze up and I am working on it now. What gears do I need to use from the counter shaft to the fertilizer drive and what setting should the gate be at?

I appreciate all the help. I have been reading the manual but just thought you all might have more insight on what settings to use.

Thanks!!
 
All of what you are asking, depends on some specifics, that you need to determine, on your own. You need to know what population you want to plant your corn at, and what amount of the type fertilizer you use to side-dress, you want to apply. the answer is to calibrate. Pick a set of gears for the planter close to the planned population. Put some seed in the hopper, and turn the wheel, a certain # of turns. Count the seed dropped, per foot of row, and see if it is what you want (do the math to convert to acre population). Same way for the side dresser, only weight the fertilizer that drops out.
