How to fix a Seed Drill Gear Box that is worn out?

Sooner or later the seed drills mechanical gearbox may start slipping, jamming or simply gets hard to set the seeding rate with any accuracy.
A simply and effective solution is to replace the mechanical drive system including the gearing with an Seed drill electric drive solution.
A typically an Electric seed drill system for a seed drill will allow for easy drill calibration and accurate drilling rates.
Electric Drives for seed drill also have the advantage of being very low maintenance and simply to install.

Seed drill calibration can some times be troublesome procedure, time consuming event, requiring many attempts to get the desired drilling rate set.
A simple solution is the installation of an electric drive control system. As the electric drive control system will allow the drill bin to be calibrated at the press on a button, hence no wheel rotations to count (or to loose count of).
A typical electric drive seed drill calibration requires the farmer to:
-Press a smart calibration button on the drill to allow the electric drive to rotate the metering shaft.
-Next the seed released from the bin during the calibration rotations is weighed.
-That weight is entered into the Electric Drive seed drill computer.
-Lastly the desired drilling rate is entered into the computer.
Now the electric Drill seed drill is setup ready for seed drilling.
