Attaching the Conservation Seeder
• Back up the tractor to the Conservation Seeder, while lining up the lower tractor links to the Conservation
Seeder lower pins.
• Stop the engine, set the brake and
remove the key from the tractor and
block the tractor tires.
• Secure the tractor lower arms to the
Plotter lower pins with lynch pins.
• Attach the tractor top link to the
Conservation Seeder with the top link
pin and r-clip.
• Adjust the tractor sway bars/chains to
center the rotary cutter and remove
excess sway.
• Adjust lower links and top link so that
the Conservation Seeder is level.
• Operate the tractor hydraulic controls
very slowly up and down. There
should be no contact between the
Conservation Seeder or any part of the tractor. Failure to check clearance can result in damage to the
Conservation Seeder, tractor (especially the tires) and possible injury to the operator. Maintain no less than
6” of clearance between the Conservation Seeder, tractor and tractor tires throughout the complete range of
motion.
Operating Instructions
• The top link on the tractor hitch should be properly adjusted to carry the machine level in an operating
position. During operation the tractor lift must be fully lowered to allow the machine to follow the contour
of the ground.
• The machine is totally ground driven, so proceed with a speed that is most comfortable and safe for
existing conditions.
• Be sure to stop forward motion before lifting machine off ground. This practice will stop rollers from ‘free
spinning’ and therefore eliminate the unwanted application of when turning around.
Attaching to Tractor
Warning: When attaching the Conservation Seeder, Never allow anyone to stand between
the Conservation Seeder and the tractor. Serious injury or death can occur!
Tractor Top Link
Tractor Lower Arms
Warning: Never backup with the implement on the ground! This will cause
damage to the implement. Always lift the implement high enough to clear the

Greenscape Conservation Seeder 600 & 800
The Greenscape Conservation Seeder is a multi-task landscape machine. It can be used for primary seeding,
over seeding, applying fertilizer or lime, aerating and dethatching.
If conditions are such that multiple passes are needed before application of seed; you can disengage seed box
by
Rotate the pin 90 degrees and release. To re-engage seed box drive assembly, reverse this procedure.
When the sprocket rotates enough to align the holes, the internal spring will cause the pin to engage the inside
sprocket.
The depth of the second spike roller can be controlled by the length of the turnbuckles that connect the torque
bar to the cultipacker roller. Lengthen the turnbuckles to raise the rear or ‘driven’ spike roller or shorten the
turnbuckle if you want the driven spike roller to operate deeper. The rear cultipacker roller is spring loaded in
order to provide good ground contact in uneven terrain and to prevent itself and the driven spike roller from
cavitating in low spots. The tickler tines are to improve seed to soil contact and should not be positioned ag-
gressive enough to ‘carry’ trash or residue in an over seeding situation.
The top link on the tractor hitch should be properly adjusted to carry the machine level in an
operating position. During operation the tractor lift must be fully lowered to allow the machine to
follow the contour of the ground.
The machine is totally ground driven, so proceed with a speed that is most comfortable and safe for existing
conditions.
Be sure to stop forward motion before lifting machine off ground. This practice will stop rollers
from ‘free spinning’ and therefore eliminate the unwanted application of when turning around.
Never operate the machine in reverse, serious damage will occur.
Operating Instructions

14
Greenscape Conservation Seeder 600 & 800
The tables and rate charts in this manual are for guidelines only. They are designed to be an aid as a starting
point. You must do your own calibration; as many factors cause rates to change. Variations in seed/granular
size, density, moisture, seed treatment, and the amount of machine overlap will affect the final application rate.
Also ‘slippage’ of front spike roller will cause variations. For instance, in loose soil, such as disced or
harrowed, the front roller will slip possibly up to 20%; while in over seeding into established vegetation, you
will likely have very little slippage. The most accurate way to set application rates is to drive a predetermined
distance and actually catch the seeds dispensed. To do this, remove at least one drop hose and tie a plastic bag
onto bottom of seed cup. Then weigh the seeds in the bag and multiply by the number of cups on your
machine. Refer to the following example to properly calibrate your machine.
Distance traveled (in feet) x Width of machine (in feet) / 43,560 = acres
For example:
You collect 1.25 oz of seed from ‘1’ cup after driving a 1/100 of an acre (87 ft. for model Green- scape 600
machine or 62ft. for model 840)
60” (5’) machine --- 87’ = 1/100 acres 84” (7’) machine --- 62’ = 1/100 acres

Calibration Adjustments & Rates

15
Greenscape Conservation Seeder 600 & 800
Seed Rate Adjustment Procedure
Large Grass Seed Hopper:
To increase the seed rate, turn the knob on the right end of the
hopper Counterclockwise. Refer to the indicator reading on
the square seed shaft and find the corresponding number on the
calibration chart 2 to assure your new rate. Reverse this
procedure to decrease rate. Remember to rotate the seed shaft
while adjusting to prevent damage to cups especially if seeds
are in hopper.
Note: When seed cups are fully closed, the indicator should be
on 0 (on the rule). This can be adjusted by simply adjusting the
pointer as needed. Fully open would be 1-3/4”.
Precision Legume Hopper:
The seed rate adjustment for the small hopper is located on the left side of the hopper behind the panel
standing at the rear of the machine. To increase the seed rate, turn the knob on the left
side of the hopper Clockwise. Refer to the indicator reading on the square seed shaft
(right side) and find the corresponding number on the calibration chart in Chart 3 to assure
your new rate. Reverse this procedure to decrease rate.
Refer to Chart 3 or 4 on page 14-15 of this manual or the rate chart located inside
the hopper lid for the corresponding seeding rate. Note: When seed cups are fully
closed, the indicator should be on 0 (on the rule). Fully open would be 1-1/8”.
Native Grass Seed Hopper:
Models 600-4 & 840-4 are equipped with three seed boxes. The front seed box
has a special agitator shaft for fluffy or chaffy seeds; such as some wildflowers
and native grasses. Generally, when planting
seed of this type the seed cup gate position should be in the lower
position : (third notch).

16
Greenscape Conservation Seeder 600 & 800
Also, the transmission sprockets for the large boxes are equipped with disengaging pins. This allows the opera-
tor to disengage either the front box, center box or, if equipped, the combination of both center and rear small
boxes. To disengage, pull the spring pin out, rotate 90 degrees to lock. To re-engage, rotate
pin 90 degrees to release. Each of the seed boxes can be set at different planting rates and used simultaneously
if needed. If not using a large seed box, it should be disengaged to pre- vent unnecessary wear and tear on
components .
Seeds per Seed Box
Legume Seedbox (small hopper):
All small round types seeds that flow easily and are generally planted at a fairly low rate, typically from as low
as 3 lbs. per acre to about 65 lbs. per acre. This would include all clo- ver, alfalfa, brassicas and many flowers
that have seed counts from about 100,000 seeds/lb to well over 7,000,000 seeds/lb. The seed size diameter
would be from about 3/16" (5 mm) to as small as 1/128" (0.019 mm).
Large Seedbox:
All cereal grains, rye, wheat, oats barley and rice. Any seeds that are irregular shaped (elongated, rice shape)
but still flow easily should be planted with this box. Most cool season grasses, such as fescue, ryegrass and
bluegrass would be planted with this box. All types of beans, peas, corn and sunflowers can be planted with
this box. Seed sizes would be from about 3/8" (9.5 mm) elongated up to about 3/8" (9.5 mm) diameter round.
Seeding rates are typically from about 25 lbs. per acre to 400 lbs. per acre
Native Grass Seedbox:
Any seed that does not flow well because of chaff, beards, trash, etc should be planted in this box. This includes
many annual and perennial warm season native grasses that are very light and fluffy. Any seed type that will
not flow easily through your fingers when held apart would need to go in this box. Seeding rates typically are
from 8 to 100 lbs. per acre.
Seed Rate Adjustment Procedure
Caution: When adjusting seeder shaft on a loaded box, rotate the shaft slowly to prevent
cup damage.
Caution: Never allow a rider on the maching for any reason including collecting seeds for
calibration purposes. Always affix a container or plastic bag to seed cup spouts or hoses to
catch samples. Never place hands in hopper or near agitator shaft while seed shaft is rotating.
