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 designed and built by Land Pride to efficiently do 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 directly proportional to forward ground speed and distance 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 immediately breaks up unwanted clods, levels the ground, and presses the seed into firm contact with 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 sod farms, transportation right-of-ways, golf courses, park systems, athletic fields, construction sites, and housing developments. See “Features and Benefits” ,
“Section 6” for additional information.

Tractor 3-Point Hookup
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 7/8” diameter hitch pins on the SPS3072 and secure to the lower hitch pins on the
3.Secure the tractor’s top link to the seeder top hitch using a 1” diameter hitch pin. Adjust tractor top link in order to level the seeder.
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.This seeder can be transported with a full box of 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.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.To begin seeding lower unit to the ground.
11.At first begin seeding at a slow forward speed and shift 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 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 hilly terrain, shift tractor
