Seed Size and Rate Calibration

To ensure the proper use of your RTP Outdoors Ground-Breaker Seeder, gate opening and rate calibration is necessary before every use. Seed sizes & blends vary from year to year and among brands of seed, meaning the calibration settings will always change. The settings presented in the SEED SETTING CHART are given as a starting point and are not intended to be used in lieu of the calibration process.

Find a Box or Tray


You will need to find a box or tray that will fit across the width of the seeding elements to catch all of the seed falling from the machine during the calibration process. You will want to mount the box or tray as close to the bottom of the seeding element openings as possible to help you not lose any seed.

Fill the Seed Box

Open the lid of the seed box and put in your seed of choice. Make sure you fill every seed cup with enough seed for the calibration. If one of the seed cups runs out of seed during this process, the calibration will be inaccurate. Always check the seed cups before and after the calibration.

Adjust the Gate Opening

Using the SEED SETTING CHART to get your base setting for the seed you will be planting. On the right side of the Ground-Breaker, you will adjust the Gate Opening number from 0 - 3 by loosening the knob, moving the bar to the correct number, and tightening back the knob.

Adjust the Variable Clutch System

On the left side of the machine is the Variable Clutch System that controls the rate. To adjust this setting, loosen the 2 knobs on the top of the clutch system box and then rotate the larger knob on the side of the box until you are lined up on the desired number. Tighten the 2 knobs on top to lock in your setting.

Spin the Cultipack Roller

Slowly spin the cultipack roller toward the front of the machine until you start to hear seed dumping into your seed catching device. Now spin the cultipack roller forward 13 times, using your tape or marking as a position reference.

Customer photo review of Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

easy buying process and great communication. Mulcher works great, easily clears overgrown brush and even mulched a 5" thick mulberry tree fairly easily. running it off of my old 331 bobcat with no problem powering the drum at all. Only small issue which isn't a big deal is that the supplied hoses are about 16" too short to operate a full range of motion.

Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

Over all built well. I like it is all cast iron and metal and not plastic. Had to modify fertilizer disc mount to fit correctly, nothing major, a little grinding. I modified the center link hitch point to accommodate my John Deere quick hitch. Have yet to plant with it but I’m sure it will work perfect. Love the grease fittings everywhere. Reminds me of the old farm equipment I grew up on, and still use periodically.

My firminator RT was delivered in good condition in ND. I will be using it next week. I have a 45 HP John Deere tractor that is supposed to lift 2000 lb but really struggles to lift this 6 foot firminator RT. I will just have to use in as a two pass operation for now. I do wish there was a better operating manual for this unit. Maybe that is something you can work on. I will give you an update once I start using it in a few days.

Put this on Kubota 900 with winch hookup. This thing is a beast (within reason). I named it ‘Homie”, cause Homie don’t play. It will take care of stuff up to about 2” in diameter. You still have to remember that this is NOT like the ones on a bobcat or larger machinery. It does have its limits. But all in all I am very satisfied with it. Now on to the good part! The staff at Ripping It are outstanding! Especially Kayla in the office. She has gone above and beyond on making sure everything went right, from ordering to questions about installation. This young lady would be of great value at ANY company ! Her knowledge and personality are like over the top. This is my first experience with Ripping It Outdoors and I can only say positive things about them. With all that being said, I do fill out reviews on things I buy, AND I give a honest review. If it’s bad then you will know it. But if it’s good, well I tell the truth ! Again Kayla, from the bottom of my heart, a great big THANK YOU for all your help and just talking to you. I feel like we’ve know each other for years!

Hi, my name is Ken. I’ve had a great experience with Ripping It Outdoors. I purchased a Forax Hp40 Mulcher for my mini excavator. Kayla Patterson is who I dealt with from the beginning until I received it at my house. She has been wonderful to work with and looking forward to working with her with any other orders I purchase. Kayla answered any questions I had and kept me updated throughout the whole process, can’t say it enough just a wonderful person to work with!!

Forax Ultralight Mulcher | Model HP40 | Cutting Width 40" | Carrier 2-4-Ton | For Excavators

These are great feeders if you don’t have any feral hogs but if the hogs tear off the wiring harness from the timer to the feeder motor, you’re disabled. Then, if you ask for help from Outback, they refer you to the dealer but really you’re on your own for parts and repairs. I have three Outback feeders that work as designed. They’re 13 years old and have always served well but this feeder misses the mark by a very high margin. I’d NEVER buy this product again. Feeders need to be dependable and this unit is not.
