General Operating Instructions

Once you have read the operators manual, properly installed you Land Pride Overseeder 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 power to run the horizontal rotor shaft, which is equipped with the vertically mounted slitter knives, is provide by the tractors 540 rpm PTO. You should have already set the desired slitter depth by adjusting the height of the side-mounted gauge wheels or the front mounted anti-scalping roller, whichever one your unit is so equipped with. The only other means of achieving slitter depth control, if your unit is equipped with the rear drive roller only, is by maintaining the depth stop control on the draft-links of your tractors three-point hitch.

The OS1548 and OS1572 have ground driven seed delivery systems. The power to drive the seed metering system comes from the forward momentum of the tractor. As the tractor moves forward the ground driven rear roller compactor or side mounted gauge wheels transfer 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. The most accurate and productive seed rate applications will usually be achieved between three and 5 miles per hour. Seeding should not be attempted in wet or muddy conditions.

Now that you understand how it works its time to begin seeding. 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 3-5mph. Lower the three-point hitch and seeder slowly to a point approximately six inches off of the ground. Raise the tractor RPM slightly and engage PTO. Raise PTO speed to 540 rpm and begin driving forward slowly at first 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. Raise the Overseeder off of the ground approximately six inches. With Overseeder raised, line up for your next pass and repeat the process. Look back often and avoid making very sharp turns with your Overseeder on the ground if you expect to develop a uniform seeding pattern. The more experienced you become the better you will get at developing beautiful seed plots and beautiful lawns.

Always clean the seeder out and perform all maintenance prescribed in the Operator’s Manual at the end of each planting. Never leave seed stored in the hopper or seed cups for prolonged periods.
