Cutting Depth Adjustment
1.
Adjust turnbuckles on the front roller as necessary by
loosening jam nuts (#3) and turning turnbuckles (#4)
to get proper cutting depth.
2. Tighten jam nuts making sure dimension (B) is equal
at both turnbuckles.
3. Level Overseeder from front to rear by loosening jam
nuts (#1) and adjusting rear roller turnbuckles (#2).
4. Tighten jam nuts making sure dimension (A) is equal
on both sides.
5. Recheck knife depth to make sure no additional
adjustments are needed to the front roller and rear
roller turnbuckles.
Floating Top Link Adjustment
Floating top link is used only when the seeder set-up is
rear roller drive with front roller support.
Set floating top link 16" from center line of top center link
hitch hole to center line of lower lift arm hitch holes by
adjusting length of tractor’s top center link.
IMPORTANT:
The lower arms on the tractor’s
3-point hitch should be in float position.
NOTE:
With this option, the cutting depth of the
knives is set by the front roller. One method to adjust
the front roller would be to place a spacer equal to the
thickness of the desired knife cutting depth under the
center of the front roller and then adjust turnbuckles
an equal length until knives just touching the ground.
