John Deere Van Brunt Model B Grain Drill -settings

The Grass Seed attachment has a setting range of 0 to 10. I want to plant 25 lbs per acre but have no idea as to which setting between 0 - 10 to set the grass seeder for.

Can anyone help me out?

My JD/Van Brundt Model B grain drill is a 12 foot model. The spacing is 7 inches with 20 holes. The grass seed bin is made up of two 6 foot sections. Each 6 foot section has 10 holes spaced 7 inches apart.

I am planting a Dry Land Pasture mix. Makeup: 30% Crested Wheatgrass, 20% Luna Pubescent and/or Oahe Intermediate Wheatgrass,
20% Paiute Orchardgrass, 20% Smooth Bromegrass, 10% Ladak Alfalfa. The supplier is recommending that I put down between 20 & 25 lbs per acre based on the information I provided him on the make-up of my pasture.

I tried using the John Deere Web site but was unable to locate the operator manual or parts manual for my drill.

Sounds the same as yours just a little wider.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

This is the make-up of the grass seed that I will be planting:

Makeup: 30% Crested Wheatgrass, 20% Luna Pubescent and/or Oahe Intermediate Wheatgrass,
20% Paiute Orchardgrass, 20% Smooth Bromegrass, 10% Ladak Alfalfa

The supplier is recommending 20 to 25 lbs per acre based on the infromation I provided him regarding the location, amount of rain fall and current conditions of my pasture. I am planning on seeding about 14 acres into this pasture mix which the supplier is calling a Dry Land pasture mix. I get between 30 to 40 inches of rain fall between Oct and April and then that's about it. I have no means to irrigate any of the pasture.

Thanks for your comments.
