Mark, As Gary said there is a varity of drums, I hope you have the chart inside the cover. You may have to use a caculator to convert the chart to the drum you have. Also consider your tire size to the sizes on the chart. It helps to have a good idea how far you want a bag of seed to plant and only put in a measured amount at first, if you fill the hopper right away you may plant a lot before you realize there was an error in your calculation. The air pressure is important, I hope your gauge works, 8 to 10 ounces is best, with beans don't slow your engine rpm's too much while moving it is easier to plug a tube with them than corn because of the higher volume. Before I start I run the pto then walk behind and check each shoe for airflow, and spin the drum by hand to see seed from each row. The rod on the left side of planter that engages the clutch which stops the drum you want to lengthen out so the planter dribbles seed on top of the ground before it stops the drum. That way you can check on each end that all rows have seed. I have ran a 400 since 1972, never used a moniter and have liked it very well. I would recommend a speed of between 4 and 5 mph. Good luck, Chuck
