Section 2: Operating Instructions

General Description

The following information is a brief description of how this implement works. It is included to help you understand the operation of this seeder.

Adequate front end weight is required on tractors for use with a 3-point seeder. Check tractor’s 3-point lifting capacity. Refer to “Section 6: Specifications & Capacities” on page 44 for seeder weight.

The power to drive the seeding function of this seeder comes from the ground speed of the tractor. The seed metering is powered by the front roller at a rate proportional to the distance driven. This ensures that the rate applied in pounds per acre or pounds per 1000 square feet remains constant as ground speed is varied. The power is transmitted via drive chains to the seed cups. This drive can be adjusted to a high or low range to broadcast more or less seed. The seed rate is adjustable using the seed rate lever located at the rear of the seeder. The seed is dropped between cast iron rollers. The front roller crushes clods, presses down small stones and forms a firm seedbed. The rear roller firms the soil around the seeds.

Operating Check List

In addition to design and configuration of equipment; hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training involved in its operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.

Tractor Requirements

Your PS25120 is designed for tractors in the Category 2 class. Horsepower rating of the tractor should not be less than 40 HP for a pull-type unit and not less than 50 HP for 3-Point, front wheel or end wheel units.

NOTE: In order to maintain steering control, balast may have to be added to your tractor. To determine whether or not to add ballast, refer to your tractor operator’s manual.

Front Wheel Pull-Type

With the seeder loaded and raised for transport, certain drawbar capacities could be exceeded by negative tongue weight, see “Tractor Drawbar Hook-Up”on page 14.

Tractor 3-Point Hook-Up

1.Back tractor up to seeder until 3-Point links are aligned with hitch clevises on seeder.

2.Secure the tractor’s 3-Point lower links to the lower hitch clevises using 1 1/8” diameter hitch pins.

3.Secure the tractor’s top center link to the seeder top hitch using a 1” diameter hitch pin.With the seeder resting on level ground, adjust the tractor’s top link until the seeder is level.

4.Move parking stand to operating position. Refer to Figure 2-1.
