General Description

The following information is a briefdescription ofhow this
Primary Seeder 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.
Thepower istransmitted viadrive chainstotheseedcups.
This drive can be adjusted to a high or low range to
broadcast more or less seed. The seed rate is adjustable
using theseedrate 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.

Seeder Preparation

Before proceeding with the first time set-up, or before
making any adjustments mentioned in this section, make
every effort to attach the seeder to a tractor.

1. Thisseeder can betransported witha full boxof seed.
It is best notto do this unless necessary because the
increased weight does increase the chances for
problems on the road. Do not exceed 20 miles per
hour.

2. Calibrate your seeder for a proper rate based on the
seed you are using. Calibration information is located
on the inside of your box lid or on page 17.

3. Make sure the seed cup door adjustment handle on
each cup is set the same across the seeder.

4. Never allow anyone to ride on the seeder.

5. Maximum seeding speed will vary according to soil
conditions.

6. Check that all plugs and caps have been replaced
properly.

7. Be sure all bolts and nuts are tight.

8. Be certain all guards are in place and secure.

9. Clear the area to be seeded of rocks, branches and
other foreign objects.

10. Atfirst beginseeding ataslow forwardspeed andshift
up until the desired speed is achieved.

Pull Tongue Hook-Up

1. See Section 1 page page 15 for a description of
connecting a tractor to the pull tongue and seeder.

IMPORTANT: Always operate the seeder with the
transport wheels on the ground and the seeder level
to prevent dirt build-up and damage to the seeder.

2. At the field site, lower the seeder to the ground by
raisingthetransport wheels until the seeder is resting
on the ground. Transport wheels must also beresting
onthe ground to support some oftheseeder’sweight.

3. Set the tractor’s hydraulic lever to return the lift
cylinder to this positioneachtimethe seeder is raised
and lowered.

4. With the seeder and transport wheels resting on level
ground,readjust the pulltongue top centerlink to level
the seeder if needed.

5. Removerear roller lock pin from parking position and
place in storage position. Refer to Figure 2-1

Transporting

!

CAUTION

When traveling on public roads whether at night or during the
day, use accessory light and devices for adequate warning to
operators of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state and
local laws.

1. Select a safe ground travel speed when transporting
from one area to another. When travelingon
roadways,transport in such a waythat faster moving
vehicles may pass you safely.

2. Reduce tractor ground speed when turning. Leave
enough clearance so the seeder does not contact
obstacles such as buildings, trees or fences.

3. When traveling over rough or hillyterrain, shifttractor
to a lower gear.

Parking

The following steps should be done when preparing to
store the seeder or unhitch it from the tractor. See also
“Section 5: Maintenance and Lubrication” on Page25
for additional information on long term storage of your
seeder.

1. Park the seeder on a level, solid area.

2. Shut off tractor engine and engage parking brake.

3. Toprevent the seeder fromtippingbackward, remove
rear roller lock pin from storage position and place in
parking position. Refer to Figure 2-2.

4. Unhitch from tractor.

CAUTION

Never back up with the seeder down. This will loosen the drive
chain and possibly damage the seeder.

Seeding

Slowly lower the Primary Seeder to the ground with the
tractor’shydraulics. Begin in a low gear as the full seeder
can be a heavy load. Ground speed is determined based
on safety, ground conditions and terrain.In most cases do
not exceed 6 MPH. The seeding mechanism is ground
driven. Therefore,seeding can be discontinuedby raising
the seeder off the ground with the 3-point lever before
making a turnaround and when transporting from one
area to another.

The setting should be INCREASED for lighter than
average seed.

The setting should be DECREASED for heavier than
average seed.

Forseed notlistedon thecharts, compareweightand size
to those listed and use similar setting.

Seed Rate Calibration

1. Raise the seeder & support it in asafe manner so the

drive roller assembly will rotate.

2. Partition off the outer end of the box so that seed can

be placed only over 3 cups. To adjust your seeding
rate, first find the desired pounds/acre on the native
grass seed rate chart below. Determine which
sprocket is required for Native Grass Box along with
proper drive type on the gearbox. Drive types 1, 2, 3,
or 4. To change sprockets on the Native Grass Box
loosen the chain idler and remove the chain. Loosen
the two set screws on the sprocket to remove.
Replacewith thedesired sprocket.(The sprocketsare
stored on the right hand side of the gearbox.) Set
gearbox handle on the proper drive type.

3. Rotate the drive roller assembly to see that the drive

system is working properly and that seed cups are
free from foreign matter.

4. Placea container under the threeseedcups to gather

the seed as it is metered.

5. Rotate the drive roller assembly: for 96” seeder - 38

rotations to get 1,000 sq. feet or 1,640 rotations per
acre. Be sure to check the three seed cups to make
sure each cup has plenty of seed coming into it.

6. Weigh the seed which has been metered. Divide by

three. This will give you the ounces/pounds metered
by each seed cup. Multiply by thenumber ofthe cups
on your seeder to arrive at the total pounds per 1,000
square feet your seeder would meter at that setting. If
this figure is different than desired, set your feed cup
adjustment lever accordingly.

You may want to repeat the calibration procedure if the
results of your first calibration vary greatly from the
suggested settings contained in the chart.

NOTE: Seeding rates vary greatly with variations in
types of seeds being seeded. The seed rate chart
belowis based ona seed mixof 5.7# of purelive seed
per 11.1# of bulk. The pure live seed mix was Big
Blue - 1.5#, Little Blue -.8#, Side Oats Grama -.6#
Western Wheat Grass - 1#, Switch Grass -.3# and
Indian Grass - 1.5#. Factors which will affect seeding
rates are: weight of seed, size of seed, relative
humidity and moisture content of theseed itself,ratio
of inert material to seed, different proportions of seed
types affecting density, and ground preparation. WE
RECOMMEND THAT YOU TEST AND ADJUST
YOUR SEEDER. USE THE PROCEDURESLISTED
TOHELP INSURE AN ACCURATE SEEDING RATE.

Seeding Adjustments

Standard Seed Box Option
Small Seeds Box Option

1. Using the seed rate charts, beginning on page 20,

determine the seeding rate forthe seed youwill be
planting and make the following adjustments.

a. Decide whether you need the slow or fast drive

type. Change the speed change sprocketif
necessary, to the desired drive type, see
Figure 3-2 & Figure 3-3 on page 18.

b. 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 3-4.
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.

2. There are many factors which will affect seeding

rates: seed treatment, weight of seed, surface
conditionofseedorroller slippage.Minor adjustments
may be needed to compensate for these factors.

3. Theseed rate chartsare based onaverage 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.

4. Completethe following procedure tocalibrate 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 front roller to rotate freely.

NOTE: To determine seed rates for seeds not listed
onthe charts, compareweight andsizeto thoselisted
and use a similar setting. Follow steps 4 and 5 to
calibrate the seed rate.

NOTE: This Standard Seed Option is equipped with
a four-position door on each seed cup. The highest
handle position is for small seeds, the second and
third positions are for larger seeds. For application
with this seeder, you will only need to use the highest
position. MAKE SURE all handles are in the same
position before seeding. The wide open position will
allow complete clean out of the seed cup.

IMPORTANT: DONOTopen the cup to the wideopen
positionwith seedin thebox unlesscomplete cleanout
is desired.

REMEMBER: Field conditions will affect seeding rates.
When seeding, check the amount of seed you are using
by noting acres or square feet seeded, amount of seed
added to seeder, and level of seed in the seedbox. If you
suspect that you are seeding more or less seed than
desired, and you have accurately calibrated the seeder to
your seed, you may need to adjust the seeding rate
slightly to compensate for field conditions.

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

NOTE: A 1/2” bolt is threaded into the right hand end
of the front roller shaft. Turn the bolt clockwise for
proper seed cup rotation.

c. Place adrop clothunder the seeder to gather the

seed as it is metered.

d. Rotate the front roller 38 rotations to get 1000

square feet or 1,640 rotations to get oneacre. Be
sure to check the three seed cups to make sure
each cup has plenty of seed coming into it.

e. Weigh the seed which has been metered. Divide

by three. This will give you the ounces/pounds
metered by each seed cup. Convert to pounds
and multiply by the number of cups on your
seeder to arrive at the total pounds per 1000
square feet your seeder would meter at that
setting. If this figure is different than desired, set
your seed cup adjustment lever accordingly.

5. You may want to repeat the calibration procedure if

the results of your calibration vary greatly from the
suggested settings on the chart.
