Make certain tractor’s 3-point lifting capacity and weight is capable of lifting and controlling the seeder under all operating conditions. Refer to “Specifications & Capacities” on page 25 for seeder weight.

NOTE: Ballast may need to be added to your tractor to maintain steering control. Refer to your tractor’s operator manual to determine if additional ballast is needed.

The lower 3-Point arms must be stabilized to prevent side-to-side movement. Most tractors have sway blocks or adjustable chains for this purpose.

Sling Bracket

Refer to Figure 1-1:

The sling brackets allow points at each end to hook a chain for lifting the unit. When hooking a chain to the sling brackets, be certain to either use a spreader bar on the chain or use a long chain to prevent bending the sling brackets.
