Important Safety Information
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, self-

Transport
Machinery Safely
▲ Comply with state and local laws.
▲ Maximum transport speed for
implement is 20 mph. DO NOT
EXCEED.Nevertravelat 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

Introduction
Introduction
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.
Application
The APS1548, APS1560, APS1572 & APS1586 All
PurposeSeedersareexcellentcombinationplantingand
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 theman 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 andBenefits” on page26
for additional product information.
