Section 2: Operating Instructions
General Description
Thefollowing information is a briefdescription ofhow this
implement works. It is included to help you understand
the operation of this seeder.
The power to drive the seeding function of this seeder
comes from the ground speed of the tractor. The seed
metering is powered by the front roller at a rate
proportional to the distance driven. This ensures that the
rate applied in pounds per acre or pounds per 1000
square feet remains constant as ground speed is varied.
The power is transmitted via drive chains to the seed
cups.This drive can be adjusted to a high or low range to
broadcastmore or less seed. The seed rate is adjustable
using the seed rate lever located at the rear of the
seeder. The seed is dropped between 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.
Operating Check List
In addition to design and configuration of equipment;
hazard control and accident prevention are dependent
upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper
training involved in its operation, transport, maintenance
and storage of equipment. Before beginning to operate
your Primary Seeder, the following inspection should be
performed.
Adequate front end weight is required on tractors for use
with a 3-point seeder. Check tractor’s 3-point lifting
capacity. Refer to “Section 6: Specifications &
Capacities” on page 44 for seeder weight.
Front Wheel Pull-Type
With the seeder loaded and raised for transport, certain
drawbar capacities could be exceeded by negative
tongue weight, see “Tractor Drawbar Hook-Up” on
page 14.
Tractor 3-Point Hook-Up
1. Back tractor up to seeder until 3-Point links are
aligned with hitch clevises on seeder.
2. Secure the tractor’s 3-Point lower links to the lower
hitch clevises using 1 1/8” diameter hitch pins.
3. Secure the tractor’s top center link to theseeder top
hitch using a 1” diameter hitch pin.With the seeder
resting on levelground, adjust the tractor’s top link
until the seeder is level.
4. Move parking stand to operating position. Refer to
Figure 2-1.

Tractor Drawbar Hook-Up
PS25120 pull-type units are equipped with aclevis style
hitch. For proper field operation, the seeder box should
be level in field position.
1. The mounting holes in the clevis hitch have been
offset so the hitch can be turned over and bolted at
two different hitch heights, Figure 2-3.
2. Back the tractor draw bar up to the seeder hitch to
determine the proper hitch position.
3. Connect the hitch to the tractor using a pin of
adequate strength (minimum 1” diameter). For the
Front Wheel Pull-type option you must install a
retaining clip on the hitch pin to prevent it from
working up as the seeder changes from positive to
negative tongue weight.
4. Your pull-type seeder isequipped witha hitchsafety
chain. The safety chain should besecurely attached
to the seeder hitch and tractor draw bar support.
7. All pull-type, end wheel andfront wheel unitsshould
be properly transported with theseed box level front
to back.
Pull-Type and End Wheel Units
Adjust the turnbuckle to level the seeder, Figure 2-5, by
loosening the jam nuts and turning center section.
Retighten jam nut when level.

WARNING
Front wheel pull-type seeders have negative tongue weight
when in transport position. Negative tongue weight may cause
immediate elevation of tongue. Always be certain seeder is
hitched securely to tractor drawbar and safety chain attached
before raising. Lower seeder before unhitching.
NOTE: The negative tongue force imposed by the
seeder with the front wheel in the raised position
when seeder is:
• empty
