READ OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY BEFORE USE!!!
• DO NOT OPERATE PLOTMASTER™ OVER 10 MPH.
• DO NOT SIT, STAND OR RIDE ON THE
PLOTMASTER™ WHILE IN USE
• MAXIMUM CAPACITY OF HUNTER SERIES SEEDER
H-600 SEEDER 100 LBS
H-800 SEEDER 120 LBS
• DO NOT PUT HANDS IN SEED BOX WHILE SEEDER
MOTOR IS IN THE ON POSITION.
• DO NOT PUT LIME OR FERTILIZER IN SEEDER
Adding lime or fertilizer to your seeder will void the Warranty of “all” parts associated with
the seeding system. Fertilizer is a corrosive and can cause premature failure of Seeder compo-
nents. In addition the density of Lime and Fertilizer is much greater than seed and can bind
your brush shaft causing the motor to stall. Seed is far loftier and will not compact around
your Versa Seeder Brush and Cause damage to your seed motor like lime/fertilizer can.
***
*HELPFUL HINT ON PLANTING SMALLER SEEDS*
When planting seeds such as, clover, rape, vetch, turnips etc. Using a filler such as oil absorb
or basic kitty litter, helps create air pockets and keeps the tiny seed from packing around the
Versa brush. Also, by using this as an additive it ensures your pounds per acre on very tiny
seed as well as holds moisture in the soil for seeds that only require ¼” planting depth or less
and too, it is lofty enough that it does not bind the Versa Brush. Using additives such as dirt
or sand is NOT recommended as the density is greater and can cause damage to your Seeding
System.
DO NOT OPERATE YOUR PLOTMASTER™ ON INCLINES GREATER
THAN 10°.

DETAILS ABOUT YOUR PLOTMASTER™
HUNTER SERIES 600
The Mainframe and its attachments are made of heavy gauge steel
components. (Drag, Cultipacker Roller, Seeder Assembly).
(refer to the diagram on page 8 to locate each of the below listed)
(A. Cultipacker Roller)
The roller is designed for compaction of the soil over the seed for greater germination of
what has been planted. The roller can also be used for added weight during tillage.
(B. Leverage Tool)
The Leverage Bar is used to aid in folding and unfolding the Cultipacker Roller. The (2)
studs on the Leverage Bar can be used to lock the Roller to the Drag Bar when in the
folded position. Use designated holes for desired use.
(C. Drag Bar w/Metal Grating)
The Drag bar and/or Metal grating is used for either leveling uneven areas or for
covering larger seed such as beans, peas, oats and rye that require more soil coverage to
germinate. The Drag Bar can be used with or without using the Metal Grating.
(D. Disconnect for Drag/Cultipacker)
These Bent pins can be removed to disconnect the Drag/Cultipaker Components from the
unit if the user wishes to do tillage only without dragging or rolling the area tilled.
(E. Seeder Motor w/Cover) (PT# SA-29-2823)
The Electric Seeder Motor’s are activated by the in-line ON/OFF switch. These motors (1
per seeder assembly) drive the spiral brush that dispenses the seed.
(Versa Seeder)
(F. Seed Flow Control Handle)
The Seed Control Handles allow you to adjust the rate of seed dispensed depending upon
the size seed you are planting. The 0-10 Scale helps in determining the diameter of the
opening. Smaller seed will be the low end, 0-2, and Larger seed will be the high end, 3-10.
(G. -R/L- Electric Seeder Assembly)
The Seeder is where your seed is dispensed from;
The H-600 maximum capacity is 50# of seed per Seeder Box. (100# total)
The H-800 maximum capacity is 60# of seed per Seeder Box. (120# total)

7
(H. Linkage Rod Connections for Seeder Assembly)
The Seed Flow Control Handle connects to the Slide Adjustments located on each box. The
Control Handle and Linkage Rods in conjunction with the Slide adjustment activates the
seed flow control from the Seeder Assembly.
(I. “V” Shaped Rear Gang Assembly)
(8—4 per axle) 16” Disk on a 1” Axle with stamped sealed bearings for longer life and
extended use of your equipment for many years. The rear disk are set up to pull tilled soil
inward, this is the soil that the front disc have tilled and thrown outward.
This tillage
design creates an optimal seed bed for any type seeds to be planted including Grass Seed!
(J. Plow Carrier with (3) H-600 (5) H-800 4” Sweep Plow Tips)
The Sweep Plow gives tillage three advantages; (1) It works as a center buster between the 2
sets of disk gangs. (2) It helps pull the unit into the ground for increased tillage. (3) Aids in
breaking up roots and heavy vegetation prior to planting.
(K. Plow Carrier Depth Adjustment)
The Sweep Plow has (4) depth adjustments. No matter the amount of vegetation your are
working with or the depth you wish to till your soil these adjustments will help you achieve
your goal.
(L. Storage)
This is where your Instruction Manual is kept for in-field reference. It can also be used to
store extra plow tips, hardware or small tools.
(M. Adjustment for Front Gang Assembly)
The Front Gang Assembly can be adjusted to (4) positions depending on the amount of
tillage desired . Shown with gang set in first pin position this is the least aggressive, each
position that the top plate is moved back the tillage becomes more aggressive.
(N. Adjustable Front Gang Assembly)
(8—4 per axle) 18” Disk on a 1” Axle with stamped sealed bearings for longer life and
extended use of your equipment for many years.
(O. On/Off Switch with Extensions)
The In-Line Switch is used to turn ON/OFF the seeder motor.
Replacement Fuse—30 AMP SLOW BLOW FUSE—On/Off Switch and Fuse Holders can be purchased separately……...

THE “SPLATTER PLATE” IS DESIGNED TO ALLOW SEED TO SCATTER
AND SPREAD EVENLY.
THE PLATE IS ADJUSTABLE AND CAN DETERMINE THE DIRECTION OF
THE SEED WHEN DISPENSING. VERTICAL: DROPS SEED DIRECTLY
BEHIND THE UNIT HORIZONTAL: SPLATTERS SEED MORE WIDELY.
THE “SPIRAL BRUSH” IS DESIGNED TO MOVE, MIX AND DISPENSE
SEED TO THE TEAR DROP HOLES IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SEED BOX.
THIS INSURES AN EVEN DISTRIBUTION OF SEED AS WELL AS
BLENDING MIXED SIZED SEEDS.
Additional Seeding Note:
For lofty seed (Wheat, Rye, Oats, Grasses etc…) it may be necessary to remove the
Augur Shield inside the seeder (this is the scalloped plate that covers the Spiral
Brush) so that the seeds do not bridge between the brush and the shield causing
the motor to stall.
The reason that this happens is the dispense rate of these seeds is less than that of
the motor revolution rate. This sometimes happens with various types of Soybeans
as well but by removing the shield the issue is rectified.

GANG ASSEMBLY
(Above) Non-Greasable Sealed Bearings are used on both
front and rear gang assemblies. These increase longer life
and dependable use of your unit for years to come.
(Above) The Front Gang Assembly has (4) positions
that the Gang Assembly can be adjusted. The Front
Pin Hole (Shown Above) is the least aggressive and
each pin hole moving back will put the gang assembly
into more aggressive positions.
(Above) The Rear “V” Shaped Gang Assembly has a
fixed position and is set at a pre-determined angle for
maximum tillage. The rear disk can also be used to
place soil on top of seed. Depending on travel speed
and top link adjustment the soil disturbance can help
the dirt flow on top of the seed.
(Above) Side view of unit showing the front gang
assembly set to throw tilled dirt outward and the rear
gang assembly set for additional tillage and for pulling
the tilled dirt from the front gang assembly inward,
thus creating an optimal seed bed.

AVAILABLE PLOW TIPS
Reversible Tooth Point Tips
Right Turning Plow Tips

19
Turning Plow Tips – Part# TP-2R
Are used for increased tillage and for added down pressure. This
Turning Tip also works great on breaking up virgin soils and cultivat-
ing areas with sod and/or vegetation prior to preparing your plots for
planting. These turning tips act like small moldboard plows cutting
and turning over sod and/or vegetation which makes it easier for you
to cultivate and plant your plots. These turning tips also increase the
down pressure on your Plotmaster forcing the discs deeper into your
soils for increased tillage.
Reversible Tooth Spikes/Chisel Plow Tips– Part# PA-9
Are also used for increased tillage and for added down pressure. This
Reversible Tip works great to break up hard, compacted soils as well as
virgin soils prior to preparing your plots for planting. These extra sharp
spikes/chisel points penetrate the soil with ease and increase the down
pressure forcing the discs deeper into your soils for increased tillage.
Additional Hardware needed to attach these tips to your existing “S” Tines
Tip Lock (1) Per “S” Tine
7/16” x 2” Plow Bolt (2) Per “S” Tine
7/16” Nylock Nut (2) Per “S” Tine
