Pull Tongue Hook-Up

1.See “Pull Tongue Hook-Up” on page 13 for a complete description of connecting a tractor to the pull tongue and seeder.

IMPORTANT: Always operate the seeder with the transport wheels on the ground and the seeder level to prevent dirt build-up and damage to the seeder.

2.At the field site, lower the seeder to the ground by raising the transport wheels until the seeder is resting on the ground. Transport wheels must also be resting on the ground to support some of the seeder’s weight.

3.Set the tractor’s hydraulic lever to return the lift cylinder to this position each time the seeder is raised and lowered.

4.With the seeder and transport wheels resting on level ground, readjust the pull tongue top center link to level the seeder if needed.

5.Remove rear roller lock pin from parking position and place in storage position. Refer to Figure 2-1

!CAUTION

Never back up with the seeder down. This will loosen the drive chain and possibly damage the seeder.

Seeding

Slowly lower the Primary Seeder to the ground with the tractor’s hydraulics. Begin in a low gear as the full seeder can be a heavy load. Ground speed is determined based on safety, ground conditions and terrain. In most cases do not exceed 6 MPH. The seeding mechanism is ground driven. Therefore, seeding can be discontinued by raising the seeder off the ground with the 3-point lever before making a turnaround and when transporting from one area to another.

Transporting

!CAUTION

When traveling on public roads whether at night or during the day, use accessory light and devices for adequate warning to operators of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state and local laws.

1.Select a safe ground travel speed when transporting from one area to another. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.

2.Reduce tractor ground speed when turning. Leave enough clearance so the seeder does not contact obstacles such as buildings, trees or fences.

3.When traveling over rough or hilly terrain, shift tractor to a lower gear.

Parking

The following steps should be done when preparing to store the seeder or unhitch it from the tractor. See also “Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication” on Page 25 for additional information on long term storage of your seeder.

1.Park the seeder on a level, solid area.

2.Shut off tractor engine and engage parking brake.

3.To prevent the seeder from tipping backward, remove rear roller lock pin from storage position and place in parking position. Refer to Figure 2-2

4.Unhitch from tractor.
