Hi Mike,

 

I use the same method as you to gauge seed depth, and have also noted that there’s not a lot of extra length to the post.

I’d be happy to hear of a better method!

I have the same question:   How do you gauge seed depth?

 

We just got a Jang JP-1, but are a little stumped on how to adjust the standard furrower opener.  It seems like there's not much room for adjustment.  When I put a straightedge from front wheel to back wheel, and lower the opener to about 1/2 inch below the straightedge (which I assume translates to about 1/2 inch deep seed placement), the post on the opener is pretty much at its lowest point.  Certainly the lines on the post are hidden by the seed metering unit, so you can't really use them as a depth gauge.

 

Am I doing this wrong?

 

Thanks.

 

-Mike

Any advice on setting the depth with the Jang? 
I get the sense that a decent translation of the manual would provide more
info than is provided now.
Thanks,
Mike
