Remlinger 2300 Grain Drill
Thank you for purchasing a Remlinger 2300 Grain Drill. The Remlinger 2300 was designed to be a
cost-effective way to accommodate a wide variety of applications. This design produces a machine with
enough strength and flexibility to carry you through your various seeding operations. Traditional seed
placement, pasture renovation, native grass plots and small seed cover crops to name a few.
The basic drill, with the large seed hopper only, can be used as a no-till drill in the traditional sense. It
is capable of drilling a wide variety of beans, peas, wheat and larger grass seed. This basic setup can also be
used to renovate existing pastures or create new pasture areas.
The addition of the native grass seed hopper gives your basic drill more flexibility. The hopper comes
standard with aggressive internal agitators to keep the fluffy seed from bridging and feeds them into saw-
toothed picker wheels. The picker wheel act as the seed meter. This hopper can be used to create native
grass plots for wild life, help prevent erosion and return un-useable farm ground back to its natural state.
Finally, a small seed hopper can be added to the basic drill setup. The small seed hopper allows you to
drill a wide variety of alfalfas, clovers, ryegrass and radishes. These seeds are normally used as a cover crop
providing nutrients, loosening of the soil and weed control.
The native grass and small seed hoppers can be used in any combination with the basic drill setup.
Each can be added at any time. The Remlinger 2300 Grain Drill is capable of performing a wide array of
applications across your farming operation. Try it out and we bet that you will agree.
Read and study the operator’s manual carefully to learn how to safely service and operate your
machine. Failure to do so could cause personal injury or equipment damage.
In addition to the equipment furnished with your drill, attachments are available to help you do a better
job. Right-Hand and Left-Hand sides are determined by facing in the direction the drill will travel when
in use.

Operating Instructions
General Description
The following information is a brief description of how this seeder 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 rear drive wheel at a rate proportional to the distance driven. This ensures that the
rate applied remains constant as ground speed is varied. The power is transmitted via drive chains to the seed
meters. This drive can be adjusted to three rate settings to vary seed rates. The seed rate is adjustable using
the seed rate lever located on the hopper. This system will handle a large variety of seed sizes from the small
legumes to kidney beans or sunflowers.
Operating Check List
In addition to design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent
upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training involved in its operation, transport, maintenance
and storage of equipment. Before beginning to operate your seeder, the following inspection should be
performed.
Check
•Read and follow the “Safety Rules” carefully.
•Read all of the “Tractor Hook Up” and preparation instructions.
•Lubricate the seeder as needed. Refer to “Lubrication”
•Check the seeder initially and periodically for loose bolts & pins. “Torque Values Chart”.
•Make sure all guards and shields are in place.
•Check initially and periodically for loose bolts, pins, chains.
•Inspect the seed meters and seed tubes for foreign matter.
•Set speed change sprocket for drive type desired.
•Set and calibrate seed rate. See “Seed Rate Charts”.
•Make sure the meter gate adjustment handle on each cup is set the same across the seeder.
•Clear the area to be seeded of rocks, branches, or other foreign objects.
•Raise drill before turning, to keep from binding or bending openers or coulters.
•Do not back up with the drill lowered in planting position. Seed tubes may plug and opener damage may
occur.

16 MAN-GD-2300-002
Maintenance
Install cylinder locks or parking stands before performing any maintenance to your seeder.
Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life of any farm implement. With careful and systematic
inspection, you can avoid costly maintenance, time and repair.
•After using your grain drill for several hours, check all bolts to be sure they are tight.
•After transporting your grain drill for several hours, check all bolts and nuts to be sure they are tight.
Lubrication
•All bearings on the seeder are sealed and do not require lubrication.
•Oil chains every 40 hours. Wipe off excess oil.
•Grease lift wheel arms, gauge wheel arms and no till swivels every 8 hours.
•Lubricate each meter shaft at drive end sprocket, center coupler and end guide. Slide seed meter
adjustment lever back and forth in order to get the oil back into the square.
Parking Stands
1. After hitching the tractor to the seeder, raise the seeder to take the weight off the parking stands. The
stands are located at the rear of the drill on each end.
2. Raise the stands and secure with the pins in the bottom hole of the stand.
Warning
Warning: Do not move the drill with weight on the
stands, they will bend.

17 MAN-GD-2300-002
Tractor Requirements
3-point mounted drills are equipped with a bolt-on hitch, adjustable to handle either CAT II, CAT III Narrow or
CAT III tractor lift links or quick hitches. Refer to Tractor Specifications and Capacities for seeder weigh
t.
Caution
Caution: Before hitching the tractor to a 3-point mounted
drill be certain the tractor front end is properly weighted
to handle the weight of the drill when it is fully loaded with
seed.
Tractor 3 Point Hookup
1. Back tractor up to seeder until 3 Point links are aligned with 3 Point hitch brackets on seeder.
2. Secure the tractor’s 3 Point lower links to the lower 3-Point brackets using 1-1/8” diameter hitch pins.
Pull Type Hookup
Remlinger pull type drills are designed to work with CAT II or III drawbar tractor using a minimum 1” diameter
pin. The drill requires two hydraulic outlets.
Storage
•At the end of the working season or when your grain drill will not be used for a long period, it is good
practice to clean off any dirt or grease that may have accumulated on the seeder and any of the moving
parts.
•Be sure that the seed box is completely cleaned before storing.
•Lubricate (with multi-purpose grease) all fittings as indicated in picture below.
•Each meter shaft at drive end sprocket, center coupler and end guide on each hopper should be oiled to
prevent seizing. Squirt oil on the square drive shaft and move the seed meter adjustment lever back and
forth in order to get the oil back into the square.
•Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to prevent rust.
•Replace all damaged or missing decals.
•Store the grain drill inside if possible. Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make for a longer seeder
life.
•Inspect for loose, damaged or worn parts and adjust or replace if needed.

18 MAN-GD-2300-002
Transporting
Caution
Caution: When traveling on public roads whether at
night or during the day, use accessory lights and
devices for adequate warning to operators of other
vehicles. Comply with all federal, state and local laws.
•Do not transport with a full hopper of seed, the hopper should be as empty as possible to avoid extra weight
during transport.
•Select a safe ground travel speed when transporting from one area to another. To avoid tire failure, never
exceed maximum speed of 25 mph. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way that faster
moving vehicles may pass you safely.
•When transporting a pull-type drill, insert transport locks on cylinders and lower drill to the stops before
unhooking hydraulic hoses.
•Reduce tractor ground speed when turning. Leave enough clearance so the seeder does not contact
obstacles such as buildings, trees or fences.
•When traveling over rough or hilly terrain, shift tractor to lower gear.
Parking
The following steps should be done when preparing to store the seeder or unhitch it from the tractor. See
“Maintenance and Lubrication” for additional information on long term storage of your seeder.
1. Park the seeder on a level, solid surface.
2. Secure jack, transport locks and / or parking stands.
3. Shut off tractor engine and engage parking brake.
4. Unhitch from tractor.

19 MAN-GD-2300-002
Drive System
Your Seeder uses standard # 40 roller chain throughout its drive system. The drive system is simple and
designed for low maintenance. Remlinger drills feature a spring-loaded floating drive wheel for 3 point or pull
type drills. This floating design allows the drive wheel to move up or down to follow the ground contour. The
floating action helps prevents seed skips in the roughest of fields. Spring pressure may have to be adjusted
depending on ground conditions.
•Check the drive idlers to ensure that they are taking up any “excess” chain slack.
•Check each chain to ensure that it is not over-tightened.
•Annually clean and lubricate chain with chain oil.
Hydraulics
Oil escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood instead
of a hand to search for suspecting leaks. If injured by escaping oil, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or
reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately. Always relieve pressure in a
hydraulic system before working with hydraulic system components.
Caution
Caution: Escaping fluid under pressure can cause
serious injury and requires doctor's immediate
attention. Keep away from hydraulic system until
pressure is relieved.
Caution
Caution: Do not store the drill with hydraulic pressure
in the remote hydraulic cylinders.

20 MAN-GD-2300-002
Start-up Procedure
1. Set the frame height to 21-23” from the ground to the bottom of the tube the openers are mounted on. The
openers should be engaged in the ground at the desired depth when measuring height.
2. Adjust the hitch cylinder or tractor top link so that the frame tube that the openers mount on is level in
seeding position.
3. On mounted drills: remove the float pins on the tractor’s 3-point arms.
4. Set the Meter Adjustment Lever, Meter Gates, and Sprocket speed according to the seed charts and
calibrate.
5. Set the No-Till coulter in the second hole from the top, the first hole is shallower, third is deeper, it should
be set at the desired seeding depth or slightly deeper.
6. Set the lower “W” Clip in the bottom hole, move it up if more down pressure is required.
7. Set the T-Handle in the center hole. To plant deeper, move the T-Handle backward. To plant shallower,
move the T-Handle forward.
8. If the drill does not penetrate after adding spring down pressure, additional weight may be required or keep
the hoppers full of seed to push the openers in the ground. Optional weight brackets are available.
9. Recheck planting depth and rate whenever you change fields.
NOTE: For detailed instruction see “Settings and Adjustment” in the following section.
Warning
Warning: Do not force the seed meters too close if
there is seed in them. This may damage the meters.
If the meters need to be closed, do so while turning
the drive wheel.
