Tractor Hook-Up

!DANGER

Tractor hook-up to equipment is dangerous and can result in serious injury or death. Do not allow anyone to stand between the seeder and tractor during hook-up operations. Do not operate hydraulic 3-point lift controls while someone is directly behind the tractor or near the seeder.

When using tractors with multispeed PTO, be certain PTO is set for 540 RPM.

1.Slowly back tractor up to Overseeder while using the tractor’s hydraulic control to align the tractor’s lower hitch link holes with the seeder’s clevis lug holes.

2.Engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off and remove key before dismounting from tractor.

3.Attach tractor’s 3-Point lower links to the seeder’s lower hitch clevises using 7/8” diameter hitch pins. Secure hitch pins with linch pins.

4.Attach tractor’s top center link to the seeder’s top hitch using a 3/4” diameter hitch pin. Secure hitch pin with a linch pin.

5.Ensure that the lower hitch arms are blocked to prevent excessive side movement.

6.Return to tractor and slowly operate controls up and down to make sure seeder clears tractor tires, frame and drawbar. Move or remove drawbar if it interferes.

7.Manually adjust one of the tractor’s lower lift arms up or down to level the seeder from left to right.

8.With the seeder resting on level ground, manually adjust tractor’s top link until the seeder is level from front to rear.
