Introduction
Introduction
Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new
product owners.
This pulverizer 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 this pulverizer
seeder.
Application
The SPS2048 and SPS3072 Pulverizer Seeders are
designedand builtby LandPrideto efficientlydo the tasks
of seedbed preparation and precision seeding. Both the
48" model and the 72" models are adapted for Category I
3-point hitch mounting. Seed metering is driven off of the
rear mounted pulverizer roller making the metering rate
directlyproportional toforwardground speedanddistance
traveled.
Front mounted scarifier shanks open and loosen the soil,
while seed cups drop the seed directly into the cultivated
soil behind the scarifier shanks. The rear pulverizer roller
immediatelybreaks upunwanted clods,levelsthe ground,
andpresses the seed into firm contactwith the soil. When
soil conditions are right, this can often be done in one
highly efficient pass.
The Land Pride SPS2048 and SPS3072 Pulverizer
Seeders are well suited for use by professional
landscapers and rental yards. They have applications on
sodfarms, transportation right-of-ways,golfcourses, park
systems, athletic fields, construction sites, and housing
developments. See “Features and Benefits”,
“Section 6” for additional information.

Seeder Preparation and Use
Before proceeding with the first time setup, or before
making any adjustments mentioned in this section, make
every effort to obtain and hitch a tractor to the seeder.
1. Thisseeder can be transported with afull boxof seed.
It is best not to 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 9.
3. Make sure the feed cup door adjustment handle on
each cup is set the same across the seeder.
4. Neverallow 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. To begin seeding lower unit to the ground.
11. Atfirst beginseeding at aslow forwardspeed andshift
up until the desired speed is achieved.
12. Periodically check that seed is being distributed
through the feeder cups.
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 traveling on
roadways,transport in such a way that faster moving
