Tractor Requirements
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Do not use a tractor that is too small. Small tractors can be
pushed around and flipped over by the weight of the
attached implement.
•
Lightweight tractors with rear attached implements may
need weights added to the front to maintain steering
control. Consult your tractor Operator’s Manual to
determine weight requirements and maximum limitations.
Make certain tractor’s 3-point lifting capacity and weight
is capable of lifting and controlling the seeder under all
operating conditions. Refer to “
Specifications &
Capacities”
on page 68 for seeder weight.
Tractor horsepower and hitch category should be within
the range noted below. Tractors outside the horsepower
range must not be used.

tractors have sway blocks or adjustable chains for
this purpose.

Quick Hitch Compatibility
The Multi-Purpose Seeders are quick hitch compatible.
Make sure your quick hitch lift capacity is rated for picking
up and transporting a fully loaded seeder. Use Land
Pride’s QH20 Quick Hitch or one that is compatible.
Torque Requirements
Refer to
“Torque Values Chart for Common Bolt Sizes”
on page 72 to determine correct torque values when
tightening hardware. See
“Additional Torque Values”
at
bottom of chart for exceptions to common torque values.
Dealer Preparations
This Multi-Purpose Seeder has been mostly assembled
at the factory. Some preparation will be necessary to
attach the seeder to the customer’s tractor. Make sure the
intended tractor conforms to
“Tractor Requirements”
listed on this page.
Go through the
“Pre-Assembly Checklist”
below before
assembling the Multi-Purpose Seeder. Speed up the
assembly task and make the job safer by having all
needed parts and equipment readily at hand.

NOTE:
All hardware from the factory has
been installed in its proper location. If a
part is temporarily removed for assembly
reasons, remember where it goes. Keep
parts separated.

Be sure the part gets used in the correct
location. Use parts manual to identify
location of parts that have been
removed. By double checking while you
assemble, you will lessen the chance of
using a part incorrectly that may be
needed later.

IMPORTANT:
Use a quick hitch designed to lift and
transport the seeder fully loaded. Using a quick hitch
not designed to handle the seeder weight can
damage your quick hitch, seeder, and/or tractor.
