Tractor Drawbar Hook-Up

PS25120 pull-type units are equipped with a clevis style hitch. For proper field operation, the seeder box should be level in field position.

1.The mounting holes in the clevis hitch have been offset so the hitch can be turned over and bolted at two different hitch heights, Figure 2-3.

7.All pull-type, end wheel and front wheel units should be properly transported with the seed box level front to back.

Pull-Type and End Wheel Units

Adjust the turnbuckle to level the seeder, Figure 2-5,by loosening the jam nuts and turning center section. Retighten jam nut when level.

2.Back the tractor draw bar up to the seeder hitch to determine the proper hitch position.

3.Connect the hitch to the tractor using a pin of adequate strength (minimum 1” diameter). For the Front Wheel Pull-type option you must install a retaining clip on the hitch pin to prevent it from working up as the seeder changes from positive to negative tongue weight.

4.Your pull-type seeder is equipped with a hitch safety chain. The safety chain should be securely attached to the seeder hitch and tractor draw bar support.
