Chapter 3 Assembly Instructions Your new 4630-36 Folding Seeder comes nearly completely assembled from the factory and ready to go to the field. To insure alignment of assemblies, leave the nuts loose until completion of final assembly. Use lock washers or flat washers as specified. Spread all cotter pins. After completion of final assembly, tighten all nuts evenly to prevent misalignment, distortion or binding. Tighten all screws and nuts to the recommended torques (See Table 2-1 on page 2-2.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Table provided for general use.
Chapter 4 Operation and Maintenance DANGER Never allow anyone to ride on the 4630-36 Folding Seeder at any time. Allowing a person to ride on the machine can inflict serious personal injury or death to that person. WARNING All hydraulically adjusted equipment must have cylinder lockouts installed or be lowered to the ground when servicing or when equipment is idle. Failure to take preventive measures against accidental lowering can result in serious personal injury.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Tractor Preparation Seeder Hitch Preparation The Landoll 4630-36 Folding Seeder is designed to be pulled by tractor equipped with a double lip or clevis type hitch. If your tractor is not equipped as such, you need to purchase the hitch from your local tractor dealer. Before attaching the Seeder Hitch, prepare the tractor as follows: 1. Inflate the rear tractor tires equally and add ballast according to the tractor operator’s manual. 1.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Attaching Seeder Hitch To The Tractor WARNING The Seeder Hitch has positive and negative tongue weight depending on wing fold position. Use a locking-style hitch pin that is properly sized for the tractor drawbar and implement hitch. 1. Make sure the tractor drawbar is rated and adjusted properly for the weight of the seeder hitch. 2. Measure the tractor drawbar and adjust the hitch clevis to the appropriate hitch mounting holes. 3. Carefully back the tractor into position.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Transport Locks 1. Transport lock pins are provided to secure the Seeder Hitch in raised and folded positions. Do not rely totally on hydraulics when working beneath raised equipment. WARNING Install transport lock pins before attempting to service, adjust, or transport raised equipment. 2. To install the telescoping hitch transport lock, fully raise the main lift and hitch.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Folding/Unfolding the Seeder Hitch The Seeder Hitch is equipped with hydraulic cylinders to fold and unfold the seeder from transport to field position. A combination of both the fold and lift hydraulics will be used to fold/unfold the seeder. DANGER The Seeder Hitch should be folded/unfolded on a large level area large enough to accommodate the seeder when unfolded. Be sure other people and pets are a safe distance away.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE HITCH CLEVIS HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT 5530-hitchclevis Figure 4-4: Hitch Clevis Height Leveling the Hitch Clevis 1. The hitch clevis height should be adjusted to match the drawbar height of the tractor. This will allow the telescoping hitch to operate through its most efficient range and level throughout the field (See Figure 4-4.) 4-6 2. On a level surface, measure from the ground to the top side of the tractor drawbar.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE TOP LINK ADJUSTMENT C top link adjustment Figure 4-5: Top Link Adjustment Leveling the Hitch 1. When unfolding the Seeder Hitch the hitch is lowered to its lowest point to allow the wing fold locks to unhook and clear. Before starting to plant, the hitch should be leveled to insure that the center and wing seeders have the same attitude relative to the field.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE SPEED IDENTIFICATION SYMBOL (SIS) DECAL HITCH WELDMENT SAFETY CHAIN SMV SIGN 36’ Seeder Hitch hitch and safety chain Figure 4-7: Hitch and Safety Chain Transporting the Seeder Hitch 1. Check and follow all federal, state, and local requirements before transporting the Seeder Hitch. 2. The Seeder Hitch should be transported only by a tractor required for field operation. The implement weight should not exceed more than 1.5 times the tractor weight.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE 6. Slow down when driving on rough roads. Reduce speed when turning, or on curves and slopes to avoid tipping. Equipment altered other than the place of manufacture may reduce the maximum transport speed. Additional weight, added tanks, markers, harrow attachments, etc. may reduce the implements carrying capabilities. DANGER Stay away from power lines when transporting, extending or folding implement. Electrocution can occur without direct contact. b.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Hydraulic Lift System 1. The hydraulic lift system contains cylinders plumbed together. The Seeder Hitch is equipped with a hydraulic lift system to raise and lower the unit from transport to planting position. 2. The main lift cylinders and telescoping hitch are connected together on the same hydraulic circuit. Before transporting make sure both lift cylinders and hitch cylinders are fully extended for maximum transport height.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Hydraulic Row Markers (Option) 1. The Seeder Hitch may be equipped with optional hydraulic row markers. This will require a fourth tractor remote to operate the markers. DANGER To prevent injury or death, stay clear of markers while folding/unfolding. Hydraulic failure can allow markers to raise or fall suddenly. DANGER To prevent injury or death from electrocution: stay away from power lines while transporting, folding, or unfolding markers.

Use gloves when working around marker blades. 1. The marker disc blade may be adjusted to vary the mark left in the field. a.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Wheel Bearing Maintenance Hydraulic Maintenance Wheel bearing maintenance should be performed at the beginning of every season of use. Check the wheel bearings periodically for excessive end play. If needed, adjust or replace them using the following procedure: 1. Check the tractor hydraulic fluid level per tractor owner's manual and after any leakage. Check fluid level with the cylinders in the retracted position. 1.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE 5530 hose color designations Figure 4-10: Hitch Hose Clamps and Color Designations Hose Identification 1. The hydraulic hoses are color coded to help identify and match the attaching hoses on the Seeder Hitch. An identification decal is placed on the front of the hitch to help identify the hoses (See Figure 4-10.) 4-14 2.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Parking 3. To park the seeder with the wings unfolded: 1. When unhitching the Seeder Hitch from the tractor, it is best to park in the folded position whenever possible. This gives the seeder the smallest storage footprint. Park the seeder on a level area to prevent rolling and shifting. If the seeder must be parked unfolded, do so only temporarily as hydraulics and air systems may settle. 2.
