Genereal Operationg Instructions

Once you have read the operators manual, properly installed the seeder to the tractors 3-point hitch, ran through the Operating Check List, filled the hopper with seed, and calibrated the unit for proper seed rate delivery, it’s time to do some serious seeding.

The PS1548 and PS1572 have ground driven seed delivery systems. The power to drive the seeder comes from the forward momentum of the tractor. As the tractor moves forward the ground driven front roller compactor transfers power, via chain driven sprockets, to the seed metering system. So, the seed rate remains constant and in direct proportion to the distance traveled and is affected very little by actual ground speed.

As the front roller passes over areas to be seeded it crushes larger clods, presses down smaller stones, and firms the seedbed. Seed is then delivered at the precise predetermined uniform rate over the wind guarded seed drop to the area located between the front and rear rollers. The rear roller then presses the seed into firm contact with the soil to promote a superbly high germination rate. Seeding should not be attempted in wet or muddy conditions.

Now that you understand how it works its time to begin seeding. Make sure you have removed the rear roller lock pin from the storage or parking position.

You should already have removed any large stones or obstacles from the area you plan to seed. Line the tractor up for the first pass and choose a tractor gear selection that will deliver a ground speed of approximately 3-5 mph. Lower the three-point hitch and seeder slowly to the ground. At first begin driving forward slowly until you get comfortable with what you are doing. As you approach the end of the lane you are seeding, slow down and come to a stop while simultaneously raising the seeder off of the ground. With the seeder raised, turn around and line up for your next pass to repeat the seeding process. Look back often and make only gradual turns with your seeder on the ground to develop a uniform seeding pattern. The more experienced you become the better you will get at developing beautiful seed plots and beautiful lawns.

When you are done seeding, always clean the seeder out and perform all maintenance prescribed in the operator’s manual. Never leave seed stored in the hopper for prolonged periods.
