YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL
Avoid Accidents
Most accidents, whether they occur in
industry, on the farm, at home, or on the
highway, are caused by the failure of some
individual to follow simple and fundamental
safety rules or precautions. For this reason
most accidents can be prevented by
recognizing the real cause and doing
something about it before the accident
occurs.
———————
Regardless of the care used in the design
and construction of any type of equipment,
there are many conditions that cannot be
completely safeguarded against without
interfering with reasonable accessibility and
efficient operation.
A CAREFUL OPERATOR
is the Best Insurance Against an Accident.
The complete observance of one simple
rule would prevent many thousands
of serious injuries each year.
That rule is:
Never Attempt to
Clean, Oil, or Adjust
A Machine While It Is In Motion.

The following pages and illustrations are
printed to help supply you with the knowledge
to better operate and service your new
CrustBuster equipment.
We are proud to have you as a customer
and feel you will be proud to be a
CrustBuster owner.
Any piece of equipment needs, and must
have, a certain amount of service and
maintenance to keep it in top running
condition. We have attempted to cover all
the adjustments required to fit most
conditions; however, there may be times
when special care must be taken to fit a
condition.
Study this owner's manual carefully and
become acquainted with all the adjustments
and operating procedures before attempting
to operate your new equipment. Remember,
it is a machine and has been designed and
tested to do an efficient job in most operating
conditions and will perform in relation to the
services it receives.

Before Operating This Equipment
Read and understand this owner's manual.
Safety & Set-Up Instructions
FNEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE THE DRILL!
FCheck lug nuts or bolts. Torque to 100 ft. lbs. after approximately 1 mile and periodically after.
F5015 Model - If your tractor does not already have a lighting receptacle, install one. Always
plug in the drill lighting system to a correctly wired tractor and USE for transport safety.
Field Operating Checklist
____ Inflate tires to recommended air pressure. Drive wheel - 10 psi
Lift Arm wheels - 32 psi
____ Lubrication as required. See page 12.
____ Seed shafts turned manually to check for obstructions and improper chain alignment on
drive sprockets.
____ Correct sprocket selection and slot width for seed type and size.
____ Calibration as required for accuracy.
____ Lift and pin support stands UP before transporting or operating drill.
____ Three point center link is adjusted for level drill operation.
____ Drill is hooked secure to tractor.
____ Down pressure set for soil conditions.
____ Record acre meter reading.
____ Do not back up with drill lowered.
____ Lower drill while moving forward to avoid plugging openers.
____ Check seed depth and adjust accordingly.
____ Allow no riders.
____ If transporting drill while box is full, turn drive wheels manually before drilling to assure
compaction has not stopped seed flow. (CrustBuster does not recommend transporting
with full grain box.)
____ Do not turn sharply with drill in ground.
3-Point Hitch Drills
Prepare for field use
Drills are equipped with bolt on hitches for
category II or III tractor 3-point lift.
Back tractor to drill while aligning 3-point links
with lower hitch points on drill. Secure lower
links with pins provided. Attach upper third
link to drill and adjust to level drill frame.
Make sure tractor has enough front weight to
retain steering control while transporting drill.
Refer to tractor operator’s manual for front
weight and 3-point information.
Raise drill with 3-point lift. Lift and pin parking
stands.
Transporting
Avoid transporting with full seed box. The extra
weight can make tractor control difficult at
transport speed.
Slow down when turning and crossing rough
terrain.
Observe all laws and regulations concerning
transport on public roads. Be sure all warning
signs and devices are visible and working
properly.

Drill Opener
Setting Down Pressure
Opener pressure setting is easy and allows
separate settings for tire compaction areas to
different soil conditions from field to field. Screw
mechanism allows you to turn the pressure up or
down. The locking nut locks the desired setting
from 140 lbs. to 190 lbs. per opener.
To adjust spring, loosen locking nut. Tighten
adjusting nut to increase opener down pressure.
A spring length of 11 3/4" is 140 lbs. opener
down pressure. A spring length of 10 3/4" is 190
lbs. opener down pressure. After adjusting, lock
adjusting nut by jamming with locking nut.
Drill Height
For best performance, the drill openers should
be operated level. This is achieved with a
frame height of approximately 24".
NOTE: No-till drills with coulters.
The depth of the coulters is set with the height
of the drill frame. Set the drill frame height so
the coulter penetrates the soil near the desired
seed planting depth.
Row units that run in wheel tracks can be set
with heavier down pressure to assure solid
press wheel action.
Individual presswheels may be set to correct for
wheel track compaction. Usually, these will only
need to be adjusted once if the same tractor is
pulling the drill the entire season. At the rear of
the opener, a T-handle stops the single press
wheel arm. Lift handle and move to achieve
the desired depth control.
Move T-handle FORWARD to place seed more
shallow. Each notch changes seeding depth
approximately 5/16“.
9

Wobble Slot Seed Cup Adjustments and Service
The wobble slot seed cups should be checked
against the slot gauge initially and anytime service
has been performed on the seed shaft or individual
seed cups.
To verify that all seed cups are set the same on
the shaft, start with all cups fully closed. A slight
crack between the cup halves would be considered
normal tolerance. If any individual cup is not
“zeroed out”, open slot width using the adjusting
handle, loosen allen set screws and adjust to equal
others on shaft.
To determine if the gauge is reflecting the correct
seed cup slot width, close the seed cups using the
adjusting handle. Loosen the nuts which hold the
gauge mount to seed cup. Make sure gauge
needle is firmly against the slot half and secure
gauge plate to read zero.
Turn adjusting handle counter clockwise to open
slot to desired width. (Refer to seed rate charts
pages 13 to 20.) Lock adjusting handle with wing
nut.
Small changes in rate can be made by opening or
closing slot width. To close the slot width with
grain in the box, close the slot down a maximum of
1/8" and then rotate the shaft one turn to clear the
slot. Repeat this process until the desired slot
width is selected.
Seeding rate is affected by seed size, seed
treatments, foreign material, and test weight.
Refer to seed rate charts as guidelines for
desired seeding rates.
Chain Tension on Drive Shaft
When making sprocket changes to the seed shaft,
tighten chain to leave approximately 1/2" of flex.
The final sprocket must allow the hex shaft to slide
within the sprocket when the adjusting handle is
turned. If the chain is too tight, bowing and binding
of box end will occur making seed cup adjustment
difficult. Lightly lubricate the shaft where the
sprocket will slide.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN CHAIN.
10

Calibration and Seed Rates
Calibration/Drilling Rates
Planting the right rate can be frustrating.
Sometimes the end result is not what the rate
chart indicates. Seeding rate is affected by
seed size, seed treatments, foreign material,
test weight, and tire air pressure.
1. Always plant clean seed.
2. Check tire air pressure.
3. Seed treatments vary by type and time of
application.
Some seeds are treated at the processor. Drill
box treatments are common methods of
application. Each of these can "gum" up the
wobble slot cup halves and reduce final
seeding rate. Treated seed often flows
differently than non-treated seed.
A general method for checking quantities drilled
is as follows:
1. Set drill for desired seeding rate.
2. Fill the box level; then pull drill for a short
distance to settle seed. Refill box exactly
level full.
3. Drill a calculated one acre.
4. Carefully weigh the seed required to refill
the box level full.
5. Compare the amount used versus that
stated on the rate chart.
6. Adjust seeding rate by changing the
sprocket combination or wobble slot width.
A stationary rate check can be made by
manually turning the drive wheel. To complete
this procedure:
1. Set drill for desired seeding rate.
2. Place a sufficient amount of seed in box to
complete test. Raise drill.
3. Place a tarp or other material under opener
seed drop to catch seed.
4. Turn drive wheel the required number of
times to plant one-tenth acre. (See chart
below).
Drill Width Turns of
Drive Wheel
7' 108
10' 76
15' 51
5. Collect seed from tarp and carefully weigh
it.
6. This weight times ten is the calculated seed
rate per acre.
7. If this is not the desired seeding rate adjust
by changing sprocket combination or
wobble slot width.
8. Repeat rate check.
Another method involves catching seed from
one or more seed cups and utilizing a density
scale to determine actual rates. These scales
are commercially available, inexpensive and
very easy to use. Information can be obtained
from CrustBuster®/Speed King, Inc.
Drive Wheel
The spring loaded drive wheel should not
require any adjustment. Make sure frame
height is low enough to cause drive wheel
spring to compress enough to stay firmly in
contact with ground.
Scraper Blade Replacement
Opener blade inside scrapers are spring loaded
and require no adjustment. To replace the
scraper blades, remove rear lock nut and slide
both blades from stem. Assemble with new
blades and replace onto stem being careful not
to overtighten lock nut.
NOTE: Do not over tighten lock nut. Be
sure scapers move freely. Failure to
do so will result in damage to
scrapers and proper operation of
scrapers.
11

Lubrication, Maintenance, and Service
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your
drill and give you years of excellent
performance. Refer to repair part drawings and
illustrations below for lubrication requirements.
Use a high quality grease in pivot points and
bearings. On greaseable sealed bearings, be
careful not to over-grease and destroy the dirt
seal. Pay attention to recommended intervals.
Oil chains with a chain lube. A light penetrating
oil or liquid graphite should be used on seed
cups initially and at the end of each season.
Clean cups with air pressure or vacuum before
applying penetrating oil.
Do Not Attempt To Service
Your Drill While It Is In Motion!
