3. Be sure that the tractor
you are using has a 540 RPM
PTO driveline.
4. Position the tractor
to the seeder.
5. Attach upper and lower
linkages.
6. Attach the PTO with clutch
toward seeder. (See
Figures 11 & 12.)
7. Use sway blocks to
stablilize the seeder.
•
Front rollers may contact
tractor tires when seeder sways
if lower arms are not stabilized.
8. Adjust three point lift height.
•
Rotor tines should not be lifted more
than 14 inches off the ground.
(The
PTO shaft may be damaged if operated
while seeder is highter than 14 inches.)
9. While seeding, the top link should be
free to float and the tractor three point lift
hydraulics should be in the float position.
•
This will prevent the weight of the
tractor and seeder from being
supported by the rear roller.
•
Also assures that rear roller is
engaged with the ground and the
seed cups will be driven.
•
Do not transport at speeds over 20 mph.
•
Avoid sudden stops or turns when trans
porting because weight of machine may
cause operator to lose control of tractor.
•
It is best not to transport a seeder with a
full box.
Always be sure the front of the
tractor has enough weight to maintain control
if transporting a seeder when there is seed in
the seedbox. Use tractor weights on the front
of the tractor if necessary.
Machine Transport
•
When transporting the machine on a road or
highway, use adequate warning symbols,
reflectors, lights, and slow moving vehicle
signs as required.
•
We recommend the installation of safety
lights on this machine. Due to its bulk and
size, the safety ligts on your tractor may be
hidden during transportation. See page 43 -
Optional Equipment.
