Have a MM grain drill and need to seed 3 acres of crp ground. Need to seed 2lbs. red clover per acre, 4 lbs. timothy grass per acre, and 2 1/2 lbs. orchard grass per acre. Don't have a clue where to put my settings as I don't have many lbs of seed to work with I need to get pretty close the first time. No owners manual with drill. Over the years through trial and error I have setting established for alfalfa in the grass seeder and oats in the grain seeder. Elevator man says to put red clover in the grass seeder and grass seed in the grain seeder. Does anyone have any idea how these seeds will feed in comparison to alfalfa and oats? And how much should I drop my settings? Thanks

I have a Minneapolis Moline grain drill, Model P3-6, mounted on 16 inch rubber tires. How would I set the seeding rate for 18-20 pounds alfalfa, 2 1/2 bushels oats per acre?

I have a PF-3 MM Monitor drill and an operators manual. Acording to the chart in my book the lowest setting for alphafa & clover is notch position #4 (low gear) distributing 8 pounds per acre. This leads me to believe that you would have to use the grass seeder for a lower feed rate. Unfortunately my book does not address operation of the grass seeder. Based on the seed size I would suggest that it is approximately the same as that for alphalfa.
