We placed our high speed cameras inside a typical meter to give you a insight into some common meter problems.:
Skip Stop is a replacement belt housing cover that has a patented cushion system that eliminates seed bounce in the belt housing of finger pickup meters. Seeds hit this cushion and drop directly onto the seed belt for delivery to the seed tube.
One major source of skips in your fields is seed bounce. As seeds are ejected from the meter into the belt housing, they bounce, rattle and roll inside the chamber. Too often, they ricochet right back into the meter, causing a skip.
Seed ricochet causes skips.As seeds are ejected from the meter into the belt housing (1), they bounce, rattle and roll inside the chamber (2). Too often, they ricochet right back into the meter causing a skip (3).
The SkipStop cover replaces your existing cover. Just screw the new plate to your meter. You only need to drill one new mounting hole on your meter to secure SkipStop.
