Small Seeds Attachment (Optional)

NOTE: Seeding rates will vary greatly with variations in sizes of the seeds. Although the seeding rates listed in this manual are based on an average seed size, we recommend that you test and adjust your Overseeder using the procedures listed below to help insure an accurate seeding rate.

NOTE: There is no “range” associated with Small Grass Seeds drive. If the drive is set-up correctly, the Small Grass Seeds box will turn the same speed regardless of whether the main seed box is set for high or low range.

Small Seeds Drive Adjustment

Figure 3-14

1.Use seed rate charts on Page 30 to determine seeding rate for the seed you will be planting.

Refer to Figure 3-15& Figure 3-16 on page 29:

2.Determine which range and drive type the main seed box is in and then check to make sure the Small Grass Seeds box drive train is set-up correctly.

Refer to Figure 3-14:

3.If Small grass Seeds drive train is incorrect, change sprockets (#4 & #8) as follows. Skip to step 4 if drive train is correct.

NOTE: Do not change cup drive sprocket (#4) if Overseeder serial number is below 124,696.

a.Remove chain guard.

b.Loosen idler plates (#1) and remove roller chains.

c.Remove 1/4” x 1 3/4” long bolt (#2) and 1/4” lock nut (#3). Flip cup drive sprocket (#4) to desired drive type. Reassemble sprocket.

d.Remove 5/8” nut (#5), 5/8” lock washer (#6) and 1” OD x 1/4” long spacer (#7).

e.Flip double sprocket (#8) to desired drive type. Reassemble sprocket.

f.Install chains and adjust idler plates (#1) for chain tightness.

g.Reinstall chain guard.

IMPORTANT: Use seed rate charts as a guide. There are many factors which will affect seeding rates: seed treatment, weight of seed, surface condition of seed, tire pressure, tire configuration and tire or rear roller slippage. Minor adjustments may be needed to compensate for these factors.

4.See Important Note above. Locate seed rate adjustment lever at rear of seeder and move it to indicator number obtained from the seed rate charts. For best results, first move adjustment lever all the way to the left. Then move lever to desired setting, moving from a lower to a higher number.

•Increase seed rate if seed is lighter than average.

•Decrease seed rate if seed is heavier than average.

5.Complete the following procedure to calibrate dispersal rate for your specific seed.

a.Place several pounds of seed over three of the seed cups at the outboard end of the Overseeder. Do not allow any of the seed to reach other cups.

b.Pull the seed tubes out of these three drops.

c.Support drive unit off the ground as follows:

•Gauge wheel drive units: Raise and support drive tire (right tire) off the ground using a jack.

•Rear roller drive units: Raise and support rear roller off the ground using a jack.

d.Rotate tire or rear roller to make sure drive system is working properly and that the feed cups are free from foreign matter.

e.Place a container under the three seed tubes to gather seed as it is metered.

f.Rotate gauge wheel or rear roller the number of rotations noted in the table below. Be sure to check the three feed cups to make sure each cup has plenty of seed coming into it.

*Seed rates listed in charts for gauge wheel units are based on Overseeder having 18 x 8.50 x 8 turf tires with 20 psi.

g.Weigh the seed which has been metered out and divide that weight by three to get the number of pounds metered by each seed cup. If your weight is in ounces, divide the weight by 48 to get the number of pounds metered by each seed cup.

h.Next, multiply number of pounds per cup by number of cups on your seeder to arrive at total pounds per 1000 sq. ft. or pounds per 1/10 acre.

i.If calculations are based on 1/10 acre, multiply total pounds by 10 to arrive at total pounds per acre. If this figure (total pounds) is different than desired, then readjust your seed cup adjustment lever accordingly.
