PLEASE READ OPERATING INSTRUCTION CAREFULLY BEFORE USE.
› Do not turn right when the plow discs are in the ground or damage to the disks
will occur. Left turns ONLY when discs are engaged.
› Do not sit, stand or ride on the seeder while in use.
› Maximum capacity of the seeder box seeder 1200 is 25kg per box
› Do not put hands in seed box while seeder motor is in the on position.
› Do not put lime in seeder.
› Only use granulated fertiliser.
› Keep hands and feet clear when raising and lowering unit.
› Keep hands and ngers clear when raising or lowering the drag and/or press roll
to avoid pinching.
› The seeder 1 point hitch units, can be used with ATVs/UTVs & with tractor’s
that have draw bar/single point connections.
› Seeder is designed for off road use. DO NOT tow on public roadways.
› Make sure that the battery clips are connected to the proper terminals to avoid
damage to your electrical system and/or your ATV/UTV/tractor.
(Red = positive terminal. Black = negative terminal)
› Avoid coming in contact with any other metal parts on the ATV when
connecting the battery clips to your battery.
› Adding lime or non-granular fertiliser to your seeder will void the warranty of
“all” parts associated with the seeding system.
› In addition the density of Lime is much greater than seed and can bind your
brush shaft causing the motor to “burn out”.
› Seed is far lighter and will not compact around your Seeder Brush and cause
damage to your seed motor like lime/non-granular fertiliser can.
DO NOT OPERATE YOUR SEEDER ON INCLINES
GREATER THAN 10°.

GP-1200 6-IN-1 SEEDER INSTRUCTION MANUAL
1PT. HITCH RECEIVER
Each Seeder comes with a 1-point hitch hook-up that connects directly to your
ATV or UTV. This hitch is designed to t a 50mm trailer ball. (Adjustment can be
made by loosening or tightening the nut on the under-side of the coupler hitch).
TOP LINK HOOK-UP
The Down Pressure System is designed so the user can apply disc pressure to
either the front or the rear of the unit. (Unit is recommended to be set level to
plant to get correct coverage with the chain drag and/or press roller).
PRESS ROLLER
The roller is designed for compaction of the soil over the seed thus increasing
seed to soil contact for optimal germination of what has been planted. The roller
can also be used for added weight during tillage. This is achieved by leaving the
roller in the folded position and resting it over the front disc.
ELECTRIC LIFT
The Electric Lift serves many purposes; one is the ability to rise & lower your unit
for transport, the other is to gauge the depth of discing and or planting. This is
activated by the UP/DOWN switch that is located on the control box.
WHEEL ASSEMBLY
The Wheel Assembly is how the unit travels when in transport mode, and is
connected to the Electric Lift to raise and lower the unit.
BE SURE TO PACK WHEELS WITH GREASE EVERY 10 HOURS OF USE TO
EXTEND THE LIFE OF THE WHEEL HUB, BEARING/BUSHING WHICHEVER
MAY APPLY TO YOUR MODEL.
IMPORTANT
3BASIC OPERATIONAL INFORMATION
DISC PLOUGH ASSEMBLY
The Disc Plough is set in a manner that soil disturbance is substantial and mimics
a “cross cut” affect for greater mixing of all types of the soil.

4SEED FLOW CONTROL HANDLE
The Seed Control Handle allows you
to adjust the rate of seed dispensed
depending upon the size seed you are
planting.
The 0-5 Scale helps in determining
the width of the opening. Smaller seed
will be the low end, 0-2, and larger
seed will be the high end, 3-5.
Actual seed hole gauge size opening

ELECTRIC SEEDER BOXES
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE A LEAF BLOWER TO BLOW OUT
THE SEED BOXES AFTER EACH BOX OF SEED IS DISPENSED,
AND AFTER FERTILISER DISPENSE.
CAUTION

12
GP-1200 6-IN-1 SEEDER INSTRUCTION MANUAL
The electric seeder motor is activated
by the control boxes ON/OFF switch.
This motor drives the spiral brush that
dispenses the seed. (guard removed)
SEEDER MOTOR
This receiver is located on the rear of
the unit and is secured by a 1/2” x 3
hitch pin with clip. You can adjust the
height of the drag bar to allow more
or less metal grating to be in contact
with the ground.
Drag Bar Receiver
The drag bar and/or harrow mesh is
used for either leveling uneven areas
or for covering smaller seed that only
require a minimal amount of coverage
to germinate. You can adjust the
amount of harrow mesh swing allowed
by putting more or less tension on the
side chains.

Adjustment bolts for changing the
angle of the disbursement plate.
The plates can be adjusted vertical/
horizontal or anywhere in between for
desired disbursement of seeds being
planted. The more vertical the angle
the seeds will drop directly behind
the Seeder. The more horizontal the
angle and the seeds will scatter wider
behind the Seeder.

Reversible Tooth Spikes/Chisel Plough Attachment/Direct Seed Drill Attachment
› This attachment comes with 6 heavy-duty S-Tines and 6 reversible tooth
spikes.
› This attachment is also used for increased tillage and for added down pressure.
› It works great to break up hard, compacted soil as well as virgin soil prior to
preparing your plots for planting.
› The extra sharp spikes/chisel points penetrate the soil with ease and increase the
down pressure forcing the discs deeper into your soil for increased tillage.
› The attachment ts into the rear 50mm receiver of all the Seeder units.
› The addition of the direct seed drill attachment allows for sowing of seed such
as corn, where greater seed sowing depth is required.

GP-1200 6-IN-1 SEEDER INSTRUCTION MANUAL
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE & SOLUTION
Seeder box stops dispensing
granular fertiliser.
Seeder box is empty. Rell with granular
fertiliser.
Seeder box brush is jammed with
fertiliser. Only use granular fertiliser or
the brush will jam every time. Empty
Seeder box and free up fertiliser around
the brush.
Cutting discs have been damaged.
Cutting discs have not been raised when
driving over concrete or pavement.
Only allow the rubber tyres to be in
contact when moving over concrete or
pavement.
Electric lift motor travelling guide
posts have become jammed not
allowing the motor to move the
Seeder up or down.
The seeder has been driven over uneven
terrain with the cutting blades too far
off the ground causing the travelling
posts to have moved in a way that they
have jammed inside the guide post. Call
greenPRO for assistance.
Always try to travel with the cutting
discs just above the ground or about
100mm clearance when moving the
Seeder from one location to another.
Travelling with them too high can cause
the travelling guide posts to bind and
jam in undulating terrain.
Seeder is not level or weight is too
far forward or backward on the unit.
The gold top link is out of adjustment.
Rotate the top link adjustment handle
to level the unit or disperse the weight
in the desired direction.

9HELPFUL PLANTING HINTS
1 Do not ll Seeder Assembly with Seed prior to reaching the area you will be
planting. Also, do not over-ll seeder beyond the recommendation. If you do the
seed will become compacted around the brush and will stall your electric motor.
(In case of compaction, open seed gate fully and then turn seeder motor on to
relieve binding.
2 If you will be planting small, similar or same size single species seeds it is
recommended that you use some type of additive to avoid compaction around the
Brush. This gives the air pockets needed to stop compaction. (The most commonly
used additive is oil absorb. You can also mix additional seed.)
3The Augur Shield inside of the seeder is there to help relieve the weight of heavier
seed onto the brush itself. This shield can be removed when dispensing loftier seed.
Loftier seed can bridge between the shield and the brush and may cause binding
of the brush and or motor. (Rye, Wheat, Oats, Grasses etc.)
4It is recommended to use “de-bearded” Grasses. The beards on these seeds can
collect in the Brush and inhibit correct dispensing of your seeds. (Blue Stem, Switch
Grass, Indian Grass etc.)
