Abstract: An agricultural seeding machine includes a metering system and a damper arrangement. The metering system for the seeding machine includes selectively powered metering sections operable to individually allow or restrict seed dispensation. The damper arrangement is included so that pneumatic conveying of the particulate within the machine is consistently maintained when particulate flow is varied between the metering sections.

Abstract: An improved collector assembly comprises a generally hollow body mounted below a product supply tank for receiving plural streams of materials metered from the tank. Individual upright passages through the body corresponding in number to the metered streams from the tank receive the gravitating product streams and direct each stream into either or both of an upper loading zone and a lower loading zone in the passage. A diverter valve associated with each upper loading zone can be set to close off the upper loading zone entirely while opening only the lower zone or closing off the lower loading zone while opening only the upper loading zone. Thus, air streams passing transversely through the upper and lower loading zones respectively can be supplied with variable amounts of metered product, depending upon the position of the diverter valve within each passage.
