3.6 Openers The seed and fertilizer knives are mounted at a fixed distance apart on the opener arm assembly. The knives are also offset laterally to place seed and fertilizer in adjacent, yet separate, furrows. The packer/gauge wheel packs the soil around the complete disturbed areas of the furrows to ensure optimum seed/ soil contact and fertilizer placement as well as maintaining available soil moisture. 3.6.
4.0 Operation IMPORTANT! After the first 10-20 hours of operation, be sure to change the tractor’s hydraulic filter when first using a new Toolbar. Some debris may have collected in the hydraulic system during manufacturing. Changing the filter will remove this debris, and prevent it from damaging components on the seeder and tractor. 4.1 Hydraulic Hose Hook up The picture below is for representation only. Hydraulic hose hook up will vary depending on tractor and Toolbar configuration.
4.2 Tractor Hook up 4.3 Pre-Operation Checklist 4.2.1 Opener Lift & Lower Inspect tires. Check tire inflation pressure. Adjust if necessary. Inspect wheel hub fasteners. Adjust torque to proper setting, if necessary. Always check wheel hub fasteners before traveling on public highways. Check depth setting of packer wheel arms. Adjust, if necessary. Check depth setting of fertilizer knives. Adjust if necessary. Check tractor hydraulic reservoir level.

4.5 Winging Down Toolbars Ensure your unrestricted case drain YELLOW banded hose(s) are connected to the tractor circuit which is plumbed directly to the reservoir first. If the control box has a 7-plex wing down switch, use the following two steps to lower the wings safely. Ensure control box is powered up with 12 V.
4.6.2 Loup 111 Opener Shank Operation 1. Ensure that there is power going to the Seed Hawk Loup III monitor. 2. Engage the tractor hydraulics lever that the RED band hose (opener circuit) are connected to. Full Tractor Pressure 3. Lock the tractor hydraulics lever that the GREEN banded hoses (wing circuit) are connected to. The full tractor pressure is shown on the top right (4000 psi gauge) of the hydraulic manifold block. 4.
4.7 Primary Operation Variables The Seed Hawk System is the leading design in crop emergence, which allows growers to reap the benefits of quick and effective germination throughout the growing season. Positive soil to seed contact is essential for optimum seed germination. Soil type, extent of tillage or disruption and moisture content all influence germination percentages. 4.7.4 Mud Scraper Adjustment IMPORTANT! There are six primary variables that affect the quality of soil packing.
4.7.6 Knife Lateral Separation 4.8.2 Knife Options Confirm knife lateral separation, 1 in. (25.4mm) between blades, especially after replacing knives, to avoid seed damage when applying high rates of fertilizer. Seed Hawk offers a variety of seed and fertilizer knife configurations to cater to a range of product delivery options and customizable row spacings. ® A B C D E F 1” (25.4mm) 4.7.
4.8.3 Twin Wing 4.9 Crop Residue Considerations The Twin Wing Seed™ opener creates a dual row, resulting in higher seedbed utilization. The furrow, however, maintains the ideal seed and fertilizer placement as the original single sideband opener. Seeding into fields with heavy residue is challenging, but residue cover is essential to the success of a zero-till cropping system. Ideally, the straw height from the previous year will be less than or equal to the width of the Seed Hawk® Drill row spacing.
4.10 Seed Hawk® Packer Tire 4.10.2 Muddy Soil Conditions The packer tire bulges slightly to provide uniform packing over the seed and fertilizer furrows. This leaves the seed ¾ in. (19mm) below the curved path left by the packer wheel. The seed is placed in an ideal environment: moisture will be channeled into the path of the packer tire; fertilizer is placed in the optimum position for seed growth; and the seed knives leave a dark strip, which warms more quickly than the surrounding residue covered soil.
4.11 Side Banding with Anhydrous Ammonia WARNING! Use extreme caution when applying anhydrous ammonia fertilizer. Inhalation, skin and/or eye contact, or skin penetration can cause serious health problems. Seek medical attention immediately if coming into contact with anhydrous ammonia. 4.13 Placing Fertilizer with Seed IMPORTANT! For the fastest and most even germination, Seed Hawk® recommends that growers should not place any fertilizer with the seed.
5.0 SBR® Hitch Toolbar (Loup III & SCT®) 5.1 Requirements • • • Field must be seeded with GPS auto-steer and same row spacing the year before. Must seed in exactly the same direction as the previous year. The sensing arm must follow between the two rows of stubble 4”-6” above the ground. 5.2 Operation NOTE: Before operation of the SBR, make sure the Toolbar is folded down in the working position. 1. Lower the SBR arm into field working position by removing locking pin.
6.0 Maintenance 6.1 Hydraulic Cartridges Hydraulic cartridges, which are located on hydraulic block, should only be removed, inspected and cleaned at the end of each seeding season if problems occur with them. Some cartridges may be disassembled for additional access for cleaning. It is recommended that the disassembly and further cleaning of this type of cartridge be performed by a technician trained in hydraulic component servicing. 6.
6.3 Wheel Hubs & Castor Plates 6.3.3 Wing Hinge Points 6.3.1 Main Frame Wheel Hubs & Castor Plates Grease all wing hinge points once a week. Lubricate Wing Castor DAILY to ensure the smooth operation of. The two fittings are on the upper and lower castor wheel plates. Measure gap between castor wheel plates and tighten castle nut every 100 hours. The gap should not exceed 1/8 in. (3mm). Adjust gap, if necessary, by tightening castle nut on top of castor wheel plate assembly.
6.
Shanks will not go down under pressure Probable Cause Pivot points are too tight or seized. Solution Loosen up pivot points about 1/8 of a turn. Don’t over loosen them. Wing hydraulic system does not maintain pressure Probable Cause The “IN” pressure gauge indicates less than 1200 psi. Check 7-plex wing down value (only on 7-plex machines (72 ft. and up)). Wing lift cylinder piston leaking. Solution Inspect quick couplers to ensure complete engagement.
7.3 Nodes on SCT® Implements Meter roller wont turn Probable Cause No hydraulic pressure. Product control switch is off. Roller is jammed. Check air cart node. Check meter settings. Solution Engage hydraulic circuit (wing down). Turn product control switch to auto. Remove roller from meter body and remove obstruction from meter. Check lights on front of node. Make sure that the meter cal and cal weight is entered correctly.
