Table of Contents Land Pride Section 2: Operating Instructions Section 2: Operating Instructions General Description The following information is a brief description of how this implement works. It is included to help you understand the operation of this seeder. The power to drive the seeding function of this seeder comes from the ground speed of the tractor. The seed metering is powered by the front roller at a rate proportional to the distance driven.
Table of Contents Land Pride Section 2: Operating Instructions Tractor Drawbar Hook-Up PS25120 pull-type units are equipped with a clevis style hitch. For proper field operation, the seeder box should be level in field position. 1. The mounting holes in the clevis hitch have been offset so the hitch can be turned over and bolted at two different hitch heights, Figure 2-3. 2. Back the tractor draw bar up to the seeder hitch to determine the proper hitch position. 3.
Land Pride Table of Contents Section 2: Operating Instructions Tractor Hydraulic Hook-Up For pull-type seeders equipped with front or end wheels, route all hydraulic hoses along the tongue and through the hose loop on the front of the tongue as described in the assembly instruction section. Connect the hoses to the tractor remote outlets. 5. Retract the cylinder rods. Extend the rods again and hold the remote lever on for one more minute. Repeat this step two more times to completely bleed the system.
