Important Safety Information

Listed below are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in this manual.

Dig Safe - Avoid Underground Utilities

 USA: Call 811

CAN: digsafecanada.ca

Always contact your local utility companies (electrical, telephone, gas, water, sewer, and others) before digging so that they may mark the location of any underground services in the area.

 Be sure to ask how close you can

work to the marks they positioned.

Transport Safely

 Comply with federal, state, and

local laws.

 Use towing vehicle and trailer of

adequate size and capacity. Secure equipment towed on a trailer with tie downs and chains.

 Sudden braking can cause a towed

trailer to swerve and upset. Reduce speed if towed trailer is not equipped with brakes.

 Avoid contact with any overhead

utility lines or electrically charged conductors.

 Always drive with load on end of

loader arms low to the ground.

 Always drive straight up and down

steep inclines with heavy end of skid steer or tractor with loader attachment on the “uphill” side.

 Engage park brake when stopped

on an incline.

 Maximum transport speed for an

attached equipment is 20 mph. DO NOT EXCEED. Never travel at a speed which does not allow adequate control of steering and stopping. Some rough terrains require a slower speed.

 As a guideline, use the following

maximum speed weight ratios for attached equipment:

20 mph when weight of attached equipment is less than or equal to the weight of machine towing the equipment.

10 mph when weight of attached equipment exceeds weight of machine towing equipment but not more than double the weight.

 IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load

that is more than double the weight of the vehicle towing the load.

Tire Safety

 Tire changing can be dangerous

and must be performed by trained personnel using the correct tools and equipment.

 Always maintain correct tire

pressure. Do not inflate tires above recommended pressures shown in the Operator’s Manual.

 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.

 Securely support the attachment

when changing a wheel.

 When removing and installing

wheels, use wheel handling equipment adequate for the weight involved.

 Make sure wheel bolts have been

tightened to the specified torque.

Practice Safe Maintenance

 Understand procedure before doing

7/15/19

Important Safety Information

Listed below are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in this manual.

Prepare for Emergencies

 Be prepared if a fire starts.  Keep a first aid kit and fire

extinguisher handy.

 Keep emergency numbers for

doctor, ambulance, hospital, and fire department near phone.

911

Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

 Wear protective clothing and

equipment appropriate for the job such as safety shoes, safety glasses, hard hat, and ear plugs.

 Clothing should fit snug without

fringes and pull strings to avoid entanglement with moving parts.

 Prolonged exposure to loud noise

can cause hearing impairment or hearing loss. Wear suitable hearing protection such as earmuffs or earplugs.

 Operating equipment safely

requires the operator’s full attention. Avoid wearing headphones while operating equipment.

Avoid High Pressure Fluids Hazard

 Escaping fluid under pressure can

penetrate the skin causing serious injury.

 Relieve all residual pressure

before disconnecting hydraulic lines or performing work on the hydraulic 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.

 DO NOT DELAY. If an accident

occurs, see a doctor familiar with this type of injury immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin or eyes must be treated within a few hours or gangrene may result.

Use Safety Lights and Devices

 Slow moving tractors, skid steers,

and self-propelled machines can create a hazard when driven on public roads. They are difficult to see, especially at night. Use the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) sign when on public roads.

 Flashing warning lights and turn

signals are recommended whenever driving on public roads.

Use Seat Belt and ROPS

 Land Pride recommends the use

of a CAB or roll-over-protectivestructures (ROPS) and seat belt in almost all power machines. Combination of a CAB or ROPS and seat belt will reduce the risk of serious injury or death if the power machine should be upset.

 If ROPS is in the locked-up

position, fasten seat belt snugly and securely to help protect against serious injury or death from falling and machine overturn.

Keep Riders Off Machinery

 Never carry riders on the power

machine or attachment.

 Riders obstruct operator’s view

and interfere with the control of the power machine.

 Riders can be struck by objects or

thrown from the equipment.

 Never use power machine or

attachment to lift or transport riders.

7/15/19

Important Safety Information

These are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products described in this manual.

Avoid crystalline Silica (quartz) Dust

Because crystalline silica is a basic component of sand and granite, many activities at construction sites produce dust containing crystalline silica. Trenching, sawing, and boring of material containing crystalline silica can produce dust containing crystalline silica particles. This dust can cause serious injury to the lungs (silicosis).

There are guidelines which should be followed if crystalline silica (quartz) is present in the dust.

 Be aware of and follow OSHA

(or other local, State, or Federal) guidelines for exposure to airborne crystalline silica.

 Know the work operations where

exposure to crystalline silica may occur.

 Participate in air monitoring or

training programs offered by the employer.

 Be aware of and use optional

equipment controls such as water sprays, local exhaust ventilation, and enclosed cabs with positive pressure air conditioning if the machine has such equipment. Otherwise respirators shall be worn.

 Where respirators are required, wear

a respirator approved for protection against crystalline silica containing dust. Do not alter respirator in any way. Workers who use tight-fitting respirators can not have beards/ mustaches which interfere with the respirator seal to the face.

 If possible, change into disposable

or washable work clothes at the work site; shower and change into clean clothing before leaving the work site.

 Do not eat, drink, use tobacco

products, or apply cosmetics in areas where there is dust containing crystalline silica.

 Store food, drink, and personal

belongings away from the work area.

 Wash hands and face before eating,

drinking, smoking, or applying cosmetics after leaving the exposure area.

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.

 Inhaling smoke from any type of

chemical fire can be a serious health hazard.

 Store or dispose of unused

chemicals as specified by the chemical manufacturer.

Tractor Shutdown & Storage

 Reduce engine speed and shut-off

all power to the attachment.

 Park on solid, level ground and

lower attachment to ground or onto support blocks.

 Put tractor in park or set park

brake, turn off engine, and remove switch key to prevent unauthorized starting.

IMPORTANT: A special point of information related to the following topic. Kubota’s intention is this information must be read & noted before continuing.

NOTE: A special point of information that the operator should be aware of before continuing.

Introduction

Kubota welcomes you to the growing family of new product owners. This Primary 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 this product.

Application

The AP-PS2072 and AP-PS2086 Primary Seeders are excellent planting tools for professional contract landscapers, professional turf managers, and municipal grounds keepers. Their narrower widths make them very effective in seeding applications on residential lots, grassy medians, grassy right-of-ways, 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 bi-directional 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 oats.

The Primary Seeder will hook up to a skid steer or a tractor 3-point.

See “Specifications & Capacities” on page 37 and “Features & Benefits” on page 38 for additional information and performance enhancing options.

How the Seeder Works

The following is a brief description of how your Primary Seeder works.

The Primary Seeder is intended for use on soil that has been worked and is prepared for seeding. Clear the area to be seeded of rocks, branches and other foreign objects.

The power to drive the bi-directional seed cups comes from the rear roller turning against the ground while traveling. Power is transmitted from the rear roller through roller chains to the bi-directional seed cups. Seed is metered out of the cups at a rate proportional to the distance driven. This ensures that the rate applied remains constant as ground speed is varied.

The seed rate is adjustable using the seed rate lever located at the rear of the Primary Seeder. The seed is dropped between two 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. Both roller assemblies are mounted to the inner frame and pivot about the pivot shaft to follow the field terrain.

Operating the Seeder

To avoid serious injury or death:

• All guards and shields must be installed and in good

working condition. Loose clothing caught on rotating components can pull a person into the machinery. Hands and other body extremities can become entangled in the machinery.

• Do not use front or rear rollers as a step. They can move

suddenly causing a falling hazard against metal protruding objects even when they appear to be solid against the ground.

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Always be aware of your footing and surroundings when

working on or around the Seeder. Be especially careful while standing on the walkway. Something as simple as a misstep can cause a person to fall and become seriously injured.

• Perform scheduled maintenance. Check for loose

hardware, missing parts, broken parts, structural cracks , and excessive wear. Make repairs before putting equipment back into service. Serious breakdowns can result in injury or death.

• Never carry riders on the equipment or power machine.

• Do not use equipment to lift objects; to pull objects such as

fence posts, stumps, etc; or to push objects. The unit is not designed or guarded for these uses.

• Never make contact with underground utilities such as

electrical power lines, gas lines, phone lines, etc. They can cause serious injury or death from electr ocution, explosion, or fire. If in doubt, call 811 (USA) before digging so that they can mark the location of underground services in the area. For contact information, see Dig Safe in the “Important Safety Information” starting on page 1.

1. Contact your local utility services to mark the location of any under ground utility services in the area. Thoroughly inspect the work area yourself for buried pipelines, sprinkler heads, and any unforeseen objects underground. Mark any potential hazards.

2. If backing-up with attachment, make sure rear visibility is appropriate for the attachment. Backup camera or mirror is recommended. Maintain cleanliness of lens or mirror.

3. Clear area to be seeded of rocks, branches, and other foreign objects on top the ground. Mark any potential hazards.

4. Calibrate your seed cup rate adjustment lever based on type of seed you are using. Calibration information is located on the inside of the seedbox lid and in the “Seed Rate Charts” provided in this manual.

Section 3: Operating Procedures

General Operating Instructions

Once you have read the Operator’s Manual, installed the Primary Seeder to the tractor’s 3-point hitch or skid steer hitch plate, went through the Operating Checklist, filled the box with seed, and calibrated the unit for proper seed rate delivery, it’s time to do some serious seeding.

The Primary Seeder has ground driven seed delivery systems. The power to drive the Primary Seeder comes from the forward or backwards momentum of the tractor or skid steer. As the tractor or skid steer moves forwards or backwards the ground driven rear roller transfers power via chain driven sprockets to the seed metering system. Seed rate remains constant and in direct proportion to the distance traveled and is affected very little by actual ground speed.

As the front rollers pass over areas to be seeded they crush clods, press down small stones and form a firm seedbed. Seed is delivered at the precise predetermined rate through the wind guarded seed drop area between the front and rear rollers. The rear roller then presses seed into firm contact with the soil to promote a superbly high germination rate. Seeding should not be attempted in wet or muddy conditions.

Now that you understand how it works, it is time to begin seeding. You should already have removed any large stones or obstacles from the area you plan to seed. Line the tractor or skid steer up for the first pass. Lower the Seeder slowly to the ground and begin driving forward or backwards, slowly at first until you get comfortable with what you are doing. maintain a ground speed of approximately 3-5 mph (4.8-8 km/h). As you approach the end of the lane you are seeding, slow down and come to a stop while simultaneously raising the seeder off of the ground. With the Primary Seeder raised, line up for your next pass and repeat the process. Look back often and avoid making very sharp turns with your Primary Seeder, this will help with developing uniform seeding patterns. The more experienced you become the better you will get at developing beautiful seed plots and beautiful lawns.

When you are done seeding always clean the Primary Seeder out and perform all maintenance prescribed in the Operator’s Manual. Never leave seed stored in the seedbox for prolonged periods. Never dismount your tractor without first coming to a full stop, turning off the tractor or skid steer, and setting the park brake. See “Power Machine Shutdown” on page 12.

With a little practice you should get very good at developing lush green stands of grass with your Kubota Primary Seeder.

If attachment is to be operated in reverse, make sure visibility to the rear of the power unit is appropriate for the attachment. Backup camera or mirror is recommended. Maintain cleanliness of lens or mirror.

Section 4: Adjustments

NOTE: If total weight for 3 seed cups is in ounces, divide that weight by 48 instead of 3.

NOTE: Field conditions will affect seeding rates. Check amount of seed being used by noting size of area being seeded, amount of seed added to the seeder, and level of seed in the seedbox.

It may be necessary to make minor adjustments to the seeding rate if the seeder has been accurately calibrated and is seeding more or less seed than desired.

IMPORTANT: Do Not operate seed rate adjustment lever at -0- setting. Seed cup damage may occur.

Do Not set seed rate adjustment lever to the widest open position with seed in the box unless complete clean out is desired.

Section 4: Adjustments

Seeding Adjustments

1. Using the seed rate charts, beginning on page 26, determine the seeding rate for the seed you will be planting and make the following adjustments.

2. 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 4-1. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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 the rear roller to rotate freely.

1/20 hectare, then “A” x 20 = kg/hectare 100 sq meters, then “A” x 100 = kg/hectare 100 sq meters, then “A” x 10 = kg/1000 sq m

h. If calculated seed rate is different than the

suggested settings in the charts, then increase or decrease the seed cup adjustment lever.

6. Repeat calibration procedure if the results of the calibration vary greatly with the chart.

Rotate the rear roller to see that the drive system is working properly and the seed cups are free from foreign matter.

c. Place a drop cloth under the seeder to gather the

seed as it is metered.

d. Rotate rear roller the number of rotations noted in

table above. Be sure to check the three feed cups to make sure each cup has plenty of seed coming into it.

e. Weigh the seed which has been metered out and

divide that weight by three to get the number of pounds or kilograms per seed cup.

f. Next, multiply number of pounds or kilograms per

seed cup by the number of seed cups on the seedbox to arrive at weight “A”.

g. If Weight “A” is calculated based on:

1/10 acre, then “A” x 10 = lbs/acre 1000 sq ft, then “A” x 43.56 = lbs/acre 1000 sq ft, then “A” x 1 = lbs/1000 sq ft

Level Indicator

Refer to Figure 4-4:

The Primary Seeder operates best when its frame is level from front to back. Use the level indicator to level the unit .

Leveling when Hooked to a Skid Steer

1. Before you begin to seed, watch the weighted indicator (#1) on the level indicator while the Primary Seeder is on the ground.

• If weighted indicator (#1) goes above level line

(#2), tilt top of hitch plate slightly forward.

• If weighted indicator falls below level line (#2), tilt

top of hitch plate slightly back.

2. Once the level indicator reads level you can begin seeding. Check level indicator frequently to try and keep the Primary Seeder level throughout the operation.

3. If the weighted indicator (#1) bounces a lot and is hard to read, slow travel speed enough to stop the weighted indicator from bouncing.

Leveling when Hooked to a Tractor 3-Point

1. If not parked on level ground, start the tractor and move to level ground.

2. Lower the Primary Seeder until unit is resting on the ground.

3. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting. Refer to “Power Machine Shutdown” on page 12.

Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication

Maintenance

Proper servicing and adjustments are key to the long life of your Primary Seeder. With careful inspection and routine maintenance, you can avoid costly downtime and repair.

Check all bolts and pins after using the Primary Seeder for several hours and on a regular basis thereafter to ensure they are tight and secured. Replace worn, damaged or illegible safety labels by obtaining new labels from your Kubota dealer.

To avoid serious injury or death: Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports

Packing Rollers

The front and rear packing rollers should turn freely. If they do not, investigate and remove the cause.

The inner frame should be free to pivot on its axis + or 5 degrees to follow the ground terrain.

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Allow only persons to perform maintenance on this

equipment who have been properly trained in its safe operation.

• Backup alarm must be in good working order to warn

others. Use a backup camera or rear-view mirror that is in good condition to help see undesirable situations behind the unit. Drive at a slower speed to compensate for blind spots.

• Before any adjustments or maintenance is performed, lower

equipment to the ground, shut engine off, and remove switch key. Do not attempt to make adjustments or perform maintenance with the equipment or power machine running.

• Do not alter equipment or replace parts with other brands.

Drive System

Refer to Figure 4-1:

Your Primary Seeder uses 3 standard no. 40 roller chain throughout its drive system. The drive system is simple and designed for low maintenance.

1. Check all drive idler arms to ensure that they are taking up any excess chain slack.

2. Check each chain to ensure that it is not over-tightened.

3. Clean and lubricate all roller chains with chain lubricant as needed.

Section 5: Maintenance & Lubrication

Long-Term Storage

Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to the implement when storing it for long periods and at the end of the season. This will help to ensure the unit is ready for field use the next time you hook-up to it.

1. Be sure that the seed box is completely cleaned

before storing. It is best to do this while still hooked to a tractor or skid steer.

a. Scoop out any large quantities of seed left in the

box. Finish by using a small broom or vacuum sweeper.

Refer to Figure 4-2:

b. Move seeder rate adjustment lever(s) all the way

to the right to fully open seed cups.

c. Run seeder over the ground to power the seed

cups to remove out-of-reach seeds.

d. Make a final sweep or vacuum the seed cups to

finish the cleaning job.

4. Replace all damaged or missing decals.

5. The square bore of the seed cup drive sprocket hub should be oiled to prevent seizing. Squirt oil on to the square feed cup shaft and move seed cup adjustment lever back and forth in order to get oil back into the square. Refer to “Seed Cup Drive Shaft” on page 34.

6. Lubricate all grease fittings and roller chains as noted under “Lubrication Points” on page 34.

7. Store the Primary Seeder on a level surface in a clean, dry place. Inside storage will reduce maintenance and extend the life of the Primary Seeder.

8. Follow all unhooking instructions. Refer to “Unhook

From Skid Steer” or “Unhook From Tractor 3Point” on page 22

9. When in storage, lower the Primary Seeder with packing rollers on a board or hard surface.

Seed Rate Adjustment Lever

Figure 4-2

2. Inspect seeder for loose, damaged, or worn parts and adjust or replace if needed with genuine Kubota parts. Do not alter Kubota equipment. Altering equipment can hinder performance and/or cause damage to the equipment.

3. Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to prevent rust. Ask your Kubota dealer for aerosol touch-up paint. Paint is also available in touch-up bottles with brush, quarts, and gallon sizes by adding TU, QT, or GL to the end of the aerosol part number.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use petroleum lubricant on plastic seed cups. Petroleum will absorb into the plastic and swell plastic components.

NOTE: Cleaning seed cups seasonally is often all that is required to keep seed cups working properly. Remove seed from seed box and seed cups. Rinse each seed cup thoroughly with water spray from a garden hose. Allow seed cups to air dry completely before putting seeder back into service.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use petroleum lubricant on the plastic seed cups. Petroleum will absorb into the plastic and swell the plastic components. Mix talc with seed to lubricate the plastic seed cups.
