(21) to secure front roller into position.

7. Reverse this procedure to move front roller back

into normal position.

Seeding Operation

Tractor speed and seed flow settings are critical for

proper seed population. Check the seed control chart,

on the inside of the seedbox lid (see page 11). Adjust

the flow control handle (Figure 8) as needed for the

seed being used and the population desired.

Tractor speed (normally 2-5 mph) should be estab-

lished so that uniform seed incorporation occurs with

the action of the rollers. The seed chart is based on a

standard sprocket configuration. Any adjustments to

this ratio will result in a change to the flow rate, as

described in the chart.

NOTE: The seed control chart should be used as a

general guide only.

Before seeding an area, check the attitude of the

seeder and adjust the top link so that the front and rear

rollers are level. Adjust the 3-point lower lift stop so that

the roller spikes penetrate the ground at 3/4" or enough

to remove the tracks left by the tractor tires.
