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.
For your convenience write model and serial number in area provided below. Serial number is located

Introduction
This manual contains an illustrated parts catalog and instructions for installation, operation, and service
of unit. Please read carefully and follow all instructions.
Parts catalog covers serviceable parts and is broken down into groups for each section of unit.
Parts shown in exploded views of assemblies have reference numbers that correspond to Part
Numbers. DO NOT ORDER PARTS BY REFERENCE NUMBERS. Part number and part description are
shown with reference numbers. Total number of parts required per unit or assembly is shown opposite each
part number.
When ordering parts, always give parts number and part description. If part the number cannot be
found in manual, give clear description of part and its location and function. Specify machine type and size.
General Instructions
Read all assembly instructions carefully and observe illustrations. Lubricate all bushings and moving
parts as you proceed. Bolts should be used in the holes in which they are designated. Leave bolts loose until
parts are attachments are completely assembled. Then tighten bolts. It is important that bolts are tight. Loose
bolts can cause breakage of parts. If bolts must be replaced, replace them only with bolts of equal strength.
The radial lines on the bolt determine their strength.
Periodic Check List
•Retighten all nuts and bolts. Shipping, transporting and general can cause nuts and bolts to become
loose.
•Check all drive chains, sprockets and keys. Verify drive chains and sprockets are properly aligned and
chains are proper length.
•Check seed meter adjustment. Move the seed rate adjuster lever to the “0” or closed position. Check all
seed meters to be sure all meters are in the fully closed position. If necessary, loosen the setscrews in the
locking collars of the seed meter and adjust all meters to the fully closed position.
