Introduction
Introduction
Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new
product owners.
This Overseeder has been designed with care and built
by skilled workers using quality materials. Proper
assembly,maintenanceand safe operating practices will
help you get years of satisfactory use from the machine.
Application
TheLandPride OS1548 and OS1572 Overseeders area
highly versatile and well engineered seed planting
systems designed to open up the soil or turf surface,
precisely meter out seed, and then press the seed into
full soil contact. They may be used for either
over-seeding or primary seeding applications. Their
versatility and precision seeding capabilities make them
an excellent choice for applications in wild game food
plots, hunting clubs, resorts, golf courses, sports turf,
ranches, turf farms, game preserves, landscaping,
professional turf maintenance, and municipalities.
The opening or slitting action is achieved by employing
PTO powered to a four or six foot wide rotary vertically
driven knives on either 2 inch or 3 inch centers. Depth
control of the slitter knives is achieved by either:
1. End-mounted adjustable gauge wheels
2. Front mounted anti-scalping roller attachment
3. Positive height control of the tractors 3-point hitch
draft-links.
Seed distribution and placement is accomplished by
utilization of high capacity water-tight seed boxes with
agitators and seed cupswith powdered metalflutes. The
agitators deliver seed to the seed cups which in turn
dispense seed into clear vinyl transfer tubes attached to
an evenly spaced seed distribution manifold. The
distribution manifold uniformly and evenly spreads the
seedacrossthe working profile of theseeder.Actualrate
and metering control is accomplished by either an end
mounted gauge wheels drive orby arear roller seed box
drive mechanism. Units equipped with the rear roller
drive will be able to achieve a higher germination rate
since this drive also serves as a roller-compactor to help
achieve maximum seed to soil contact.
An optional spring-tine harrow is available to enhance
seed to soil contact. Also, a precision Slit-seeding
attachment is available to deliver seed directly into the
slits created by the rotary knives. This slit seeder
attachment is not compatible with the spring-tine harrow
attachment.

Maximum PTO driveline Movement During Operation
Figure 1-10
IMPORTANT: Alwayscheckdrivelinemaximumand
minimum length during initial set-up, when
connecting to a different tractor and when
alternating between using a quick hitch and a
standard 3-point hitch. More than one driveline may
be required to fit all applications.
Driveline Installation
The tiller driveline is coupled to the tractor shaft with
either push pin couplers, pull collar couplers or a
combinationof both andonthe implement end witha slip
clutch and pull collar coupler for protection from shock
loads.
Always engage PTO at low engine rpm to minimize
driveline start-up torque. Drivelines with friction
clutches must go through a “run-in” operation prior
to initial use and after long periods of inactivity. See
“Section 4: Maintenance & Lubrication” on page 31 for a
detailed description of maintaining the driveline.
If the Overseeder is to be used on more than one tractor,
an additional PTO shaft may be required - especially if a
quick hitch is used.
!
CAUTION
Tractor PTO shields and guards must be in place at all times
during operation!
!
CAUTION
Do not use a PTO adaptor with a quick hitch. A PTO adapter
will increase the strain on the tractor’s PTO shaft and can
damage the PTO shaft and mower driveline.
IMPORTANT: Itisnecessary to aligningthetractor’s
PTO shaft level with Overseeder’s PTO shaft when
checking to see if the driveline’s minimum length is
correct. Too long a driveline can damage the tractor,
gearbox and driveline.
Check Driveline Minimum Length
Refer to Figure 1-11:
1. Start tractor and slowly engage tractor’s hydraulic
3-point lift to raise the lower arms until the
Overseeder’s driveline shaft is approximately level
with tractor's PTO shaft.
2. Slide slip clutch end of driveline over the splined
input shaft of gearbox. Secure with driveline yoke
locking device.
IMPORTANT: For easier access to gearbox input
shaft, remove driveline guard at the gearbox.
3. Slideopposite end of drivelineyokeover the tractor’s
splinedPTOshaft. Secure with dr iveline yokelocking
device.Skip to step 4 if driveline fits between tractor
and implement.
IMPORTANT: Some tractors are equipped with
multi-speed PTO ranges. Be certain your tractor ‘s
PTO is set for 540 rpm.
IMPORTANT: Avoid premature driveline
breakdown. A driveline that is operating must not
exceed an angle of 25 degrees up or down while
operating the 3-point lift. See Figure 1-10.

4. The PTO driveline will require shortening if it is too
long to fit between the tractor and gearbox. Shor ten
driveline as follows:
a. Place tractor gear selector in park, shut tractor
engine off, set park brake and remove switch key.
b. Pull driveline apart as shown in Figure 1-12: on
page 13. Attach the outer yoke section to the
tractor shaft and inner yoke section to the cutter
gearboxshaft.Pullon each dr iveline section tobe
sure the universaljoints are secured to theshafts.
c. Hold the dr iveline sections parallel to each other
to determine if they are too long. The inner and
outer shields on each section should end
approximately 1" short of reaching the universal
joint shield on the adjacent section (see “B”
dimension). If they are too long, measure 1" (“B”
dimension) back from the universal joint shield
and make amark at this location on theinner and
outer driveline shields.
d. Cut off theshieldat the mark(“X” dimension). Cut
the same amount off the shaft (“X1” dimension).
Repeat cut off procedure (“Y”&“Y1” dimensions)
to the other driveline half.
e. Remove all burrs and cuttings.
Refer to Figure 1-13:
The driveline maximum length must, when fully
extended,haveaminimumoverlapoftheprofiletubesby
notless than 1/3 thefree length with bothinnerand outer
profile tubes being of equal length.

1. Apply multi-purpose greaseto the inside of the outer
shaft and reassemble the driveline.
2. Assemblethe two driveline profiles togetherwith just
1/3 overlapping of the profile tubes as shown in
Figure 1-13. Measure and record this overall length
for checking driveline length in step 9 below.
3. Attach inner driveline yoke end to the Overseeder
gearbox input shaft.
4. Attach outer driveline yokeend to the tractor's PTO
shaft.
5. The driveline should now be moved back and forth to
insure that both ends are secured to the tractor and
Overseeder PTO shafts. Reattach any end that is
loose.

IMPORTANT: A small chain is supplied with the
driveline. This chain must be attached to the inner
driveline shield and to the Overseeder to restrict
shield rotation.
6. Hook driveline safety chain in the hole in the inner
driveline guard. Attach the other end to the
Overseeder’s main frame.
7. Start tractor and raise Overseeder just enough to
remove blocks used tosupport the Overseederframe
in step 4a on page 13.
8. Slowlyengagethe tractor’shydraulic3-point tolower
the Overseeder. Check for sufficient drawbar
clearance. Move drawbar ahead, aside or remove if
required.
9. Raise and lower implement to find maximum
extended dr iveline length. Check to make certain
that the driveline overall length does not extend
beyond the maximum recorded length in step 2
above.
