Meter Testing

Meter testing is a great way to ensure your planter is at peak performance, and Apple Farm Service is happy to do a great job at a phenomenal price. Meter Testing is used to determine whether there are any changes to the operational settings that can improve accuracy and performance in your field. Bring your planter into any Apple Farm Service locations and save on meter testing. Meter Testing is $40 for corn finger meters, $55 for Corn Finger Meters with Multiple Seeds, or $35 for bean meters, plus any price of parts for any meter. Our technicians are here to ensure your meter is fine-tuned to provide you with the maximum accuracy so you can reach your maximum yield potential with your planter.

Here’s a breakdown of how we test your meter:

• Meter is mounted to the test stand.
• A sample of the seed you intend to plant is poured into the meter and the test stand is set to the population and your planting speed.
• Advanced sensor technology counts any errors, and then each seed meter is adjusted, cleaned, calibrated, and repaired to ensure it is running at peak performance.
• A report is printed for each meter’s performance.

Here are the components we check during a meter test:

• Seed discs
• Singulator brush
• Crowder brush
• Wall brush
• Air inlet screens
• Meter calibration

Why you should test your seed meters:

• Avoids doubles and skips.
• Reduces input cost.
• Optimizes planter performance.
• Reduces equipment breakdowns.
• Increases profit per acre.

Keeping up with annual equipment maintenance is an important way to ensure your crop yield is at its maximum potential. Our Precision Planting Meter Max Ultra test stand works on Precision, Kinze, Case, John Deere, White, and most other planters. Call or stop into one of our five locations today to schedule an appointment to get your meters tested ASAP! Locations & Hours | Apple Farm Service Inc.
