Description of Unit
The Brillion Till 'N Seed is a tractor mounted, ground
driven, minimum till seeder designed to plant a variety of
seed into previously untilled or lightly tilled soil which is
relatively firm. It can also be used to lightly till soil without
seeding, de-thatch lawns, and shred tall dead grass. The
machine employs a drive rotor, followed by a tillage rotor
and finally a firming roller. Seed is dropped onto the
ground ahead of the drive rotor and is incorporated in the
soil by the tillage rotor.

IMPORTANT
Federal law requires that you explain the safety and
operating instructions furnished with this machine to all
operators before they are allowed to operate the
machine. These instructions must be repeated to the
operators at the beginning of each season. Be sure to
observe and follow the instructions for the safety of
anyone operating or near the machine.
Investigation has shown that nearly 1/3 of all farm
accidents are caused by careless use of machinery.
Insist that all people working with you or for you abide by
all safety instructions.
Understanding Safety Statements
You will find various types of safety information on the
following pages and on the machine decals (signs)
attached to the implement. This section explains their
meaning.
Special notice - read and thoroughly understand.
• Keep these signs clean so they can be observed
readily. It is important to keep these decals cleaned
more frequently than the machine. Wash with soap
and water or a cleaning solution as required.
• Replace decals that become damaged or lost. Also, be
sure that any new machine components installed
during repair include decals which are assigned to
them by the manufacturer.
• When applying decals to the machine, be sure to
clean the surface to remove any dirt or residue. Where
possible, sign placement should protect the sign from
abrasion, damage, or obstruction from mud, dirt, oil
etc.
• Keep Riders Off of Machinery
Do not allow anyone to ride on tractor or
machine. Riders could be struck by foreign
objects or thrown from the machine.
• Never allow children to operate equipment.
• Keep bystanders away from machine during
operation.
Proceed with caution. Failure to heed caution
cause injury to person or damage product.
may
Proceed with caution. Failure to heed warning will
cause injury to person or damage product.
Proceed with extreme caution. Failure to heed
notice will cause injury or death to person and/or
damage product.
You should read and understand the information
contained in this manual and on the machine decals
before you attempt to operate or maintain this equipment.
• Examine safety decals and be sure you have the
correct safety decals for the machine. See Safety Sign
and Locations in Safety Section for decal locations,
See Figures 1-3,1-4,1-5 and 1-6. Order replacement
decals through your Brillion dealer.
Transporting Safety
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to
comply with all state and local laws.
• When transporting the machine on a road or highway,
use adequate warning symbols, reflectors, lights and
slow moving vehicle sign as required. Slow moving
tractors and towed implements can create a hazard
when driven on public roads. They are difficult to see,
especially at night.
• Do not tow an implement that, when fully loaded,
weighs more than 1.5 times the weight of the towing
vehicle.
• Carry reflectors or flags to mark the tractor and
implement in case of breakdown on the road.
• Do not transport at speeds over 20 MPH under good
conditions. Never travel at a speed which does not
allow adequate control of steering and stopping.
Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with
brakes.
• Avoid sudden stops or turns because the weight of the
machine may cause the operator to lose control of the
tractor. Use a tractor heavier than the machine.
• Use caution when towing behind articulated steering
tractors; fast or sharp turns may cause the machine to
shift sideways.

SAFETY INFORMATION
NOTE
Maintenance Safety
• Block the machine so it will not roll when working on or
under it to prevent injury in case of hydraulic failure or
inadvertent lowering by another person.
• Do not make adjustments or lubricate machine while it
is in motion.
• Make sure all moving parts have stopped and all
system pressure is relieved.
• Keep all guards in place. Replace any that become
damaged.
• Understand the procedure before doing the work. Use
proper tools and equipment. See Table 4-1 for
additional information.
On most tractors relieving hydraulic pressure can be
accomplished by operating valves after the engine is
stopped. Also, the machine should be lowered to ground
so that the shanks are taking the load.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems.
Protective Equipment
• Wear protective clothing and equipment.
• Wear clothing and equipment appropriate for the job.
Avoid loose fitting clothing.
• Because prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause
hearing impairment or hearing loss, wear suitable
hearing protection, such as earmuffs or earplugs.
Chemical Safety
• Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper
use can seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil
& property.
• Read chemical manufacture’s instructions and store or
dispose of unused chemicals as specified.
• Handle chemicals with care and avoid inhaling smoke
from any type of chemical fire.
• Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by
the chemical manufacturer.
Prepare for Emergencies
Air Shock Safety
• Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with the Air Shock.
• The pressurized Air Shock may violently extend if
disconnected from the machine. Release air pressure

Never allow children to operate equipment.
Keep bystanders away from machine during
operation.
Seeding
• Planting speeds of 4-8 mph typically works best.
Adjust speed to conditions.
• Planting in two passes at 90 degrees to each other is
also, a effective method for an even stand.
Make sure you cut the seeding rate in half when planting
in two passes.
• In most conditions, a single pass will be sufficient. If
conditions dictate, two or more tillage passes may be
done. Disengage Seed Meters by removing the seed
drive disconnect Klik Pin from the transmission and
storing it in the hole provided in the end of the shaft.
Once the soil is tilled sufficiently, engage seeding by
re-installing the seed drive disconnect Klik Pin into
sprocket and shaft to seed on the next pass.
• If very small seeds are being planted that need to be
very shallow or on the surface, use the gage wheels to
raise the tillage rotor partially or entirely out of the
ground for the final pass.
• Always raise the seeder out of the ground for sharp
turns.

Air Shock
• Check and adjust air pressure while machine is resting
on the ground.
OPERATION
• Typical air pressure range for this Implement is 20-100
psi. In some instances more air pressure maybe
necessary, but do not exceed 120psi. Optimal air
pressure will vary depending soil conditions.
• Lower air pressure on soft ground and higher air
pressure on hard ground works best.
• Increasing air pressure transfers machine weight from
the Drive Rotor to the Tillage Rotor, resulting in more
aggressive tillage action. However, excessive air
pressure will cause the Drive Rotor to lose traction,
resulting in poor tillage performance by the Tillage
Rotor.

Do Not Lubricate Machine While Machine Is In
Motion. If Any Guards Are Removed For
Lubricating, They Must Be Replaced Before
Operating.
Lubrication
• Grease per recommended lubrication frequency
intervals indicated or if machine is not to be used for
some time. Greaseable components are the same on
each side, right side shown.
• Lubricate Roller Chains periodically with quality chain
oil.
For best penetration, lubricate chain immediately after
use while chain is still warm.
It is good machine maintenance practice to check all
bolts for tightness during regular lubrications. Tighten any
fasteners that may have loosened during operation.

• The Rotor Drive Chain is properly adjusted when it has
a 1/4" - 5/16" deflection across the top of the
sprockets, while the bottom is tight. If adjustment is
needed loosen the Hex Nut and turn the Adjustment
Bolt until the proper deflection is achieved.
• The Idler is specially designed so that if the Idler is
unable to achieve the 1/4"-5/16" chain deflection, the
chain is worn out and needs to be replaced.
• The Small Seedbox back Drive Chain is properly
adjusted when it has 1/8” - 3/16” deflection across the
sprockets.
• If adjustment is needed loosen the Hex Nut on the
Idler and slide the Idler until the proper deflection is
achieved.
