a guideline:  
20 mph when weight is less  
than or equal to the weight of  
tractor.  
10 mph when weight is double  
the weight of tractor.  
Slow moving tractors, self-

Maximum transport speed for  
implement is 20 mph. DO NOT  
EXCEED. Never travel at a speed  
which does not allow adequate  
control of steering and stopping.  
Some rough terrain require a  
slower speed.  
Sudden braking can cause a  
towed load to swerve and upset.  
Reduce speed if towed load is not  
equipped with brakes.

Section 3: Operating  
Section 3: Operating  
General Description  
The following information is a brief description of how this  
Primary Seeder works. It is included to help you  
understand the operation of this seeder.  
Seeder Preparation  
Before proceeding with the first time set-up, or before  
making any adjustments mentioned in this section, make  
every effort to attach the seeder to a tractor.  
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 front roller at a rate  
proportional to the distance driven. This ensures that the  
rate applied in pounds per acre or pounds per 1000  
square feet remains constant as ground speed is varied.  
The power is transmitted via drive chains to the seed cups.  
This drive can be adjusted to a high or low range to  
broadcast more or less seed. The seed rate is adjustable  
using the seed rate lever located at the rear of the seeder.  
The seed is dropped between cast iron rollers. The front  
roller crushes clods, presses down small stones and  
forms a firm seedbed. The rear roller firms the soil around  
the seeds.  
1. This seeder can be transported with a full box of  
seeds. It is best not to do this unless necessary  
because the increased weight does increase the  
chances for problems on the road. Do not exceed 20  
miles per hour.  
2. Calibrate your seeder for a proper rate based on the  
seed you are using. Calibration information is located  
on the inside of your box lid or on page 17.  
3. Make sure the seed cup door adjustment handle on  
each cup is set the same across the seeder.  
4. Never allow anyone to ride on the seeder.  
5. Maximum seeding speed will vary according to soil  
conditions.  
6. Check that all plugs and caps have been replaced  
properly.  
Operating Check List  
7. Be sure all bolts and nuts are tight.  
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 Primary Seeder, the following inspection should be  
performed.  
8. Be certain all guards are in place and secure.  
9. Clear the area to be seeded of rocks, branches and  
other foreign objects.  
10. At first begin seeding at a slow forward speed and shift  
up until the desired speed is achieved.  
Tractor Requirements  
.
This Primary Seeder is designed for tractors in the  
Category 2 or 3 and Cat. 2 Quick Hitch. An optional pull  
package is available for smaller tractors.

Transporting  
1. See Pull Tongue Hook-Up” on page 13 for a  
complete description of connecting a tractor to the pull  
tongue and seeder.  
!
CAUTION  
When traveling on public roads whether at night or during the  
day, use accessory light and devices for adequate warning to  
operators of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state and  
local laws.  
IMPORTANT: Always operate the seeder with the  
transport wheels on the ground and the seeder level  
to prevent dirt build-up and damage to the seeder.  
1. Select a safe ground travel speed when transporting  
from one area to another. When traveling on  
roadways, transport in such a way that faster moving  
vehicles may pass you safely.  
2. At the field site, lower the seeder to the ground by  
raising the transport wheels until the seeder is resting  
on the ground. Transport wheels must also be resting  
on the ground to support some of the seeder’s weight.  
2. Reduce tractor ground speed when turning. Leave  
enough clearance so the seeder does not contact  
obstacles such as buildings, trees or fences.  
3. Set the tractor’s hydraulic lever to return the lift  
cylinder to this position each time the seeder is raised  
and lowered.  
3. When traveling over rough or hilly terrain, shift tractor  
to a lower gear.  
4. With the seeder and transport wheels resting on level  
ground, readjust the pull tongue top center link to level  
the seeder if needed.  
Parking  
5. Remove rear roller lock pin from parking position and  
place in storage position. Refer to Figure 2-1  
The following steps should be done when preparing to  
store the seeder or unhitch it from the tractor. See also  
additional information on long term storage of your seeder.  
1. Park the seeder on a level, solid area.  
2. Shut off tractor engine and engage parking brake.  
3. To prevent the seeder from tipping backward, remove  
rear roller lock pin from storage position and place in  
parking position. Refer to Figure 2-2  
4. Unhitch from tractor.

!
CAUTION  
Never back up with the seeder down. This will loosen the drive  
chain and possibly damage the seeder.  
Seeding  
Slowly lower the Primary Seeder to the ground with the  
tractor’s hydraulics. Begin in a low gear as the full seeder  
can be a heavy load. Ground speed is determined based  
on safety, ground conditions and terrain. In most cases do  
not exceed 6 MPH. The seeding mechanism is ground  
driven. Therefore, seeding can be discontinued by raising  
the seeder off the ground with the 3-point lever before  
making a turnaround and when transporting from one  
area to another.

Section 3: Operating  
Drive System  
Your Primary Seeder uses standard no. 40 roller chain  
throughout its drive system. The drive system is simple  
and designed for low maintenance.  
1. Check the drive idler arms to insure that they are  
taking up any excess chain slack.  
2. Check each chain to insure that it is not over-  
tightened.  
3. Annually clean and lubricate chain with chain oil.  
Roller Packing Wheels  
The front and rear roller packing wheels should turn freely.  
In field position, the rear roller assembly should be free to  
float up and down to follow the terrain of your field. See  
Figure 2-1 on page 15.

Seed Rate Speed Change  
Main Seed Box  
The seed rate speed change is designed to give you two  
speeds for different types of seeds and rates. The two  
drive types are high range (gives you the most pounds per  
acre) and low range (least pounds of seed per acre). To  
change the drive type and chain pitch from High Range to  
Low Range, 8 pitches will need to be removed from chain,  
refer to Figure 3-1. Remove 5/8” nut, 5/8” lock washer and  
5/8” flat washer. Flip speed change sprocket for desired  
drive type.  
See Figure 3-2 for sprocket alignment.

Section 4: Seeding Adjustments  
5. You may want to repeat the calibration procedure if the  
results of your calibration vary greatly from the  
suggested settings on the chart.  
Seeding Adjustments  
Main Seed Box  
1. Using the seed rate charts, beginning on page 20,  
determine the seeding rate for the seed you will be  
planting and make the following adjustments.  
NOTE: To determine seed rates for seeds not listed  
on the charts, compare weight and size to those listed  
and use a similar setting. Follow steps 4 and 5 to  
calibrate the seed rate.  
a. Decide whether you need the high range or low  
range drive type. Change the speed change  
sprocket if necessary, to the desired drive type,  
see  
REMEMBER: Field conditions will affect seeding rates.  
When seeding check the amount of seed you are using by  
noting acres or square feet seeded, amount of seed  
added to seeder, and level of seed in the seed box. If you  
suspect that you are seeding more or less seed than  
desired, and you have accurately calibrated the seeder to  
your seed, you may need to adjust the seeding rate  
slightly to compensate for field conditions.  
Figure 3-1 & Figure 3-2 on page 17.  
b. Locate the seed rate adjustment handle at the  
rear of the seeder and move it to the indicator  
number obtained from the charts, see Figure 3-3.  
For best results, first move adjustment handle all  
the way to the left. Then move the handle to the  
desired setting, moving from a lower to a higher  
number.  
NOTE: This seeder is equipped with a four-position  
door on each seed cup. The highest handle position  
is for small seeds, the second and third positions are  
for larger seeds. For application with this seeder, you  
will only need to use the highest position. MAKE  
SURE all handles are in the same position before  
seeding. The wide open position will allow complete  
clean out of the seed cup.  
2. There are many factors which will affect seeding rates:  
seed treatment, weight of seed, surface condition of  
seed or roller slippage. Minor adjustments may be  
needed to compensate for these factors.  
3. The seed rate charts are based on average size seed.  
This may differ from the seed you are using. Use the  
seed rate charts as a guide. For lighter than average  
seed, the setting should be increased. For heavier  
than average seed, the setting should be decreased.  
IMPORTANT: DO NOT open the cup to the wide open  
position with seed in the box unless complete clean  
out is desired.  
4. Complete the following procedure to calibrate the rate  
for your specific seed.  
a. Place several pounds of seed over three of the  
seed cups at the outboard end of the seeder.  
b. Raise the seeder off the ground and support  
safely, leaving front roller to rotate freely.  
Rotate the front roller to see that the drive system  
is working properly and the seed cups are free  
from foreign matter.  
NOTE: A 1/2” bolt is threaded into the right hand end  
of the front roller shaft. Turn the bolt clockwise for  
proper seed cup rotation.  
20579  
c. Place a drop cloth under the seeder to gather the  
seed as it is metered.  
d. Rotate the front roller 38 rotations to get 1000  
square feet or 1,640 rotations to get one acre. Be  
sure to check the three seed cups to make sure  
each cup has plenty of seed coming into it.  
e. Weigh the seed which has been metered. Divide  
by three. This will give you the ounces/pounds  
metered by each seed cup. Convert to pounds  
and multiply by the number of cups on your  
seeder to arrive at the total pounds per 1000  
square feet your seeder would meter at that  
setting. If this figure is different than desired, set  
your seed cup adjustment lever accordingly.

Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication  
3. The square bore of the seed cup drive sprocket hub  
should be oiled to prevent seizing. Squirt oil on to the  
square seed cup shaft and move seed cup adjustment  
lever back and forth in order to get the oil back into the  
square.  
Maintenance  
Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to the long life  
of any implement. With careful and systematic inspection,  
you can avoid costly maintenance, time and repair.  
4. Lubricate all fittings as indicated.  
6. After using your seeder for several hours, check all  
bolts to be sure they are tight.  
5. When in storage, lower the seeder with rollers on a  
board or hard surface.  
7. After transporting your seeder for several hours,  
check all bolts and nuts to be sure they are tight.  
6. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to  
prevent rust.  
Storage  
7. Replace all damaged or missing decals.  
1. At the end of the working season or when your  
Primary Seeder 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.  
8. Store the seeder inside if possible. Inside storage will  
reduce maintenance and make for a longer seeder  
life.  
9. Inspect the Primary Seeder for loose, damaged or  
worn parts and adjust or replace if needed.  
2. Be sure that the seed box is completely cleaned  
before storing.
