Important Safety Information
Land Pride
These are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in this manual.
Use Safety
Lights and Devices
▲Slow moving tractors, selfpropelled equipment, and towed implements can create a hazard when driven on public roads. They are difficult to see, especially at night.
▲Flashing warning lights and turn signals are recommended whenever driving on public roads. Use lights and devices provided with implement.
Transport
Machinery Safely
▲Comply with state and local laws.
▲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.
▲Use the following maximum speed - tow load weight ratios as 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.
▲IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load that is more than double the weight of tractor.
▲
Use A Safety Chain
▲A safety chain will help control drawn machinery should it separate from the tractor drawbar.
▲Use a chain with the strength rating equal to or greater than the gross weight of the towed machinery.
▲Attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support or other specified anchor location. Allow only enough slack in the chain to permit turning.
▲Do not use safety chain for towing.
Practice Safe Maintenance
▲Understand procedure before doing work. Use proper tools and equipment, refer to Operator’s Manual for additional information.
▲Work in a clean dry area.
▲Lower the implement to the ground, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove key before performing maintenance.
▲Allow implement to cool completely.
▲Do not grease or oil implement while it is in operation.
▲Inspect all parts. Make sure parts are in good condition & installed properly.
▲Remove buildup of grease, oil or debris.
▲Remove all tools and unused parts from implement before operation.

Keep Riders
Off Machinery
▲Riders obstruct the operator’s view, they could be struck by foreign objects or thrown from the machine.
▲Never allow children to operate equipment.
Tire Safety
▲Tire changing can be dangerous and should be preformed by trained personnel using the correct tools and equipment.
▲When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.
▲When removing and installing wheels, use wheel handling equipment adequate for the weight involved.
Avoid High
Pressure Fluids Hazard
▲Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
▲Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines or performing work on the system.
▲Make sure all hydraulic fluid connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure to the system.
▲Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for suspected leaks.
▲Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems.
▲If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be treated within a few hours or gangrene may result.
Handle
Chemicals Properly
▲Protective clothing should be worn.
▲Handle all chemicals with care.
▲Follow instructions on container label.
▲Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper use can seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil, and property.

Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new product owners.
This All Purpose Seeder has been designed with care and built by skilled workers using quality materials. Proper assembly, maintenance and safe operating practices will help you get years of satisfactory use from the machine.
The APS1548, APS1560, APS1572 & APS1586 All Purpose Seeders are excellent combination planting and cultivation tools for golf courses, school systems, municipalities, rental yards, construction companies, sports fields, and college campuses. Their narrower widths make them effective in seeding applications on residential lots, grassy medians, grassy parkings or right-of- ways adjacent to sidewalks, community parks, sporting facilities, and golf courses. Unlike wider models of seeders these units will do a more effective job of planting in areas where undulations, moguls, and depressions are prevalent.
The seed box is equipped with our standard fluted seed cups and an agitator enabling highly accurate and uniform delivery of most turf grass seeds as well as a wide variety of other seeds ranging from alfalfa to peas. The spiked front rollers can be adjusted for more or less “crab-action cultivation” making them an ideal choice for opening up and planting in hard or thatchy soil profiles.
See “Section 5: Specifications & Capacities” on page 25 and “Section 6: Features and Benefits” on page 26 for additional product information.
•This Operator’s Manual is designed to help familiarize you with safety, assembly, operation, adjustments, troubleshooting, and maintenance. Read this manual and follow the recommendations to help ensure safe and efficient operation.

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 25 for seeder weight.
NOTE: Ballast may need to be added to your tractor to maintain steering control. Refer to your tractor’s operator manual to determine if additional ballast is needed.
The lower 3-Point arms must be stabilized to prevent side-to-side movement. Most tractors have sway blocks or adjustable chains for this purpose.
Refer to Figure 1-1:
The sling brackets allow points at each end to hook a chain for lifting the unit. When hooking a chain to the sling brackets, be certain to either use a spreader bar on the chain or use a long chain to prevent bending the sling brackets.

This All Purpose Seeder has been 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”.

Refer to “Torque Values Chart For Common Bolt Size” on page 28 when tightening hardware.
Refer to Figure 1-4:
IMPORTANT: Some units will not accept a Mud Scraper attachment. Please be sure of your serial number to verify.
NOTE: Do not tighten bolts (#4 & #5) until after adjustments have been made. See “Mud Scraper Adjustment (Optional)” on page 14 for instructions.
1.Attach spike scrapers (#3) to scraper hangers (#2) with 3/8"-16 x 1 1/4" GR5 round head square neck bolts (#5) and hex flange lock nuts (#6). Draw nuts up snug, do not tighten until after completing adjustments in Section 3.
2.Attach scraper hangers (#2) to the front rollers with four 3/8"-16 x 1" GR5 hex head cap screws (#4), 3/8" lock washers (#8) and 3/8" flat washers (#7). Draw nuts up snug, do not tighten until after completing adjustments in Section 3.
Refer to Figure 1-5 on page 9:
The instructions below apply to both the rear packer roller and rear spike roller.
1.Lower rear roller to ground level to compress spring (#6). Adjust 3-point lift height to make sure roller arm (#1) is positioned so that there is space between the arm and stop blocks located above and below the arm.
2.Support seeder frame at this height to keep seeder frame from creeping lower during assembly.
3.Shut tractor engine off and engage parking brake.
4.Attach vice grips tightly to the spring rod and tight against the spring rod guide bar to retain spring compression.
5.Loosen bearing set collar screw (#2) and remove lock nut (#3), cap screws (#4) and lock washers (#5). Keep hardware for reuse.
