enough slack in the chain to
permit turning.
▲Do not use safety chain for towing.
▲Maximum transport speed for an
attached implement is 20 mph. DO
NOT EXCEED. Never travel at a
speed which does not allow
adequate control of steering and
stopping. Some rough terrains
require a slower speed.
▲As a guideline, use the following
maximum speed weight ratios for
an attached implement:
20 mph when weight of attached
implement is less than or equal
to the weight of machine towing
the implement.
10 mph when weight of attached
implement exceeds weight of
machine towing implement but
not more than double the weight.
▲IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load
that is more than double the weight
of the machine towing the load.

General Description
Thefollowinginformationisabriefdescription ofhowthis
implement works. It is included to help you understand
the operation of this seeder.
The power to drive the seeding function of this seeder
comes from the ground speed of the tractor. The seed
metering is powered by the front roller at a rate
proportional to the distance driven. This ensures that the
rate applied in pounds per acre or pounds per 1000
square feet remains constant as ground speed is varied.
The power is transmitted via drive chains to the seed
cups. This drive can be adjusted to a high or low range to
broadcastmore or less seed. The seed rateis adjustable
using the seed rate lever located at the rear of the
seeder. The seed is dropped between cast iron rollers.
The front roller crushes clods, presses down small
stones, and forms a firm seedbed. The rear roller firms
the soil around the seeds.
Operating Checklist
Hazard control and accident prevention are dependent
upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper
training involved in the operation, transport, storage, and
maintenance of the Primary Seeder. Therefore, it is
absolutely essential that no one operates this seeder

Tractor Drawbar Hook-Up
Refer to Figure 2-3:
!WARNING
Front wheel Pull-Type Seeders have negative tongue weight
when in transport position. Negative tongue weight may cause
immediate elevation of tongue. Always be certain seeder is
hitched securely to tractor drawbar and safety chain attached
before raising. Lower seeder before unhitching.
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.
2. Back the tractor draw bar up to the seeder hitch to
determine the proper hitch position.
3. Connect hitch to the tractor using a pin of adequate
strength (minimum 1" diameter). Secure hitch pin
with a retaining clip.
4. YourPull-TypeSeederisequippedwithahitchsafety
chain. The safety chain should be securely attached
to the seeder hitch and tractor draw bar support.
5. Retract tongue jack until the weight of tongue is
resting on tractor draw bar.
Refer to Figure 2-4:
6. Unpin tongue jack and pin in storage position as
shown.
Leveling Seeder Box
All pull-type, end wheel, and front wheel units should be
properly transported with seed box level front to back.
Pull-Type with End Wheel Units
Refer to Figure 2-5:
Adjust turnbuckle to level seeder by loosening jam nuts
and turning the center section. Retighten jam nuts when
level.
Pull-Type with Front Wheel Units
Use tongue hydraulic cylinder to level the seed box.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to follow “Tractor Drawbar
Hook-Up” instructions when hooking-up to a “Front
Wheel Pull-Type Seeder.
Negative tongue forces imposed with front wheels in
the raised position when seeder box is:
•Empty: 30 bushel box can be as high as 1000 lbs.
•Loaded: 30 bushel box can be as high as 1500 lbs.
IMPORTANT: 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.

Tractor Hydraulic Hook-Up
!DANGER
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when
working with hydraulic systems. Use a piece of cardboard or
wood rather than hands when searching for hydraulic leaks. If
hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin or eyes, it must be
treated by a doctor familiar with this type of injury within a
few hours or gangrene may result. DO NOT DELAY.
For Pull-Type Seeders equipped with front or end
wheels, route all hydraulic hoses along the tongue and
through the hose loop on the front of the tongue as
describedintheassemblyinstructions.Connecthosesto
the tractor remote outlets.
Purging Rephasing Lift Cylinders
!
CAUTION
Do not crack hose fittings in order to bleed air from this
system.
Tractors with pressure detents do not allow hydraulic
systems to “automatically” rephase at the top of the lift
cycle. This must be done manually or the rephasing
cylinderswill notfunction properly.Therefore,afterevery
couple of trips back and forth across the field and after
the machine has been fully raised, the control lever
should be pulled back and held for 1-2 seconds. This will
purge air that has been ingested into the system.
Operating Hydraulic Lift System
The lift cylinders may, over time get out of time or phase.
The effects of this can be seen when one wheel of the
seeder is higher than the other because one lift cylinder
is over retracted compared to the other lift cylinder.
To rephase the cylinders, raise the seeder completely up
and hold the tractor hydraulic lever on for a few seconds
to give the cylinders time to rephase. This should be
done each time the seeder is raised. Momentarily
reversingthehydrauliclever immediatelyafter rephasing
to allow the cylinders to retract about 1/2" will help in
maintaining a level seeder during transport.
NOTE: There is a chance of drawing air into the
systemcausingjerkyorunevencylindermovements
if tractor reservoir is low on hydraulic fluid. Check
hydraulic fluid in the tractor reservoir and fill to the
proper level before purging lift cylinders.
NOTE: It is the nature of rephasing cylinders to
settle slightly after the seeder has been raised.
NOTE: Understand that having the cylinders
becomegradually outof time is different than having
air trapped in the system from improper bleeding.
Each condition is corrected differently.
Transporting
3-Point & Pull-Type Seeders
!
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. It is best to transport on the road with an empty box
unless necessary as the increased seed weight will
increase the chances for road problems.
2. Select a safe ground travel speed when transporting
from one area to another.
3. Whentraveling on roadways, transportin sucha way
that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.
4. Reduce tractor ground speed when turning. Leave
enough clearance so the seeder does not contact
obstacles such as buildings, trees, or fences.
5. Shift to a lower gear when traveling over rough or
hilly terrain.
Pull-Type Seeders
!
CAUTION
Pull-Type Seeders should never be pulled faster than 20 miles
per hour!
