The Legume seed box has a small seed cup and
adjustable fluted roller. The lever and shaft are similarly
adjustable to the Cool Season seed box. See Figure
20. The Legume seed box is ideal for planting alfalfa,
clover, forbes, rape and other small seeds. The seed
meter tubes attached to the Legume box can divert
seed to the primary transition tray for a deeper planting
depth or in front of the optional cultipacker for shallower
depths. See Figure 15.
