PRESEEDER OPERATION
GENERAL SAFETY
The Preseeder tiller is a machine designed
to quickly prepare a level, fine-textured bed,
ready for seeding turfgrass. It is intended for
conditioning and leveling the top layer of soil; it
is not
designed to be used as a deep tiller. If
hard, unbroken soil is encountered, it is recom-
mended that a chisel be used first for two rea-
sons:
1. To break up the soil for more efficient
operation.
2. To allow more water to be absorbed,
thereby reducing surface erosion.
To prevent personal injury,
make certain all tractor and
Preseeder tiller safety shields are in place and
secure before operating.
OPERATING THE ATTACHMENT
STARTING THE ATTACHMENT
1. Raise attachment to transport position.
2. Adjust the depth adjustment cam to the
desired working depth.
3. Start the engine and place the throttle in
the run position as described in the

TRANSPORT RELEASE LEVER A to
lower the tiller to working depth (See
Figure 24).
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH CONTROL
1. Raise the tiller to transport position.
