Tractor Hook-Up
!
DANGER
Tractor hook-up to equipment is dangerous and can result in
serious injury or death. Do not allow anyone to stand between
the seeder and tractor during hook-up operations. Do not
operate hydraulic 3-point lift controls while someone is
directly behind the tractor or near the seeder.
When using tractors with multispeed PTO, be certain
PTO is set for 540 RPM.
1. Slowly back tractor up to Overseeder while using the
tractor’s hydraulic control to align the tractor’s lower
hitch link holes with the seeder’s clevis lug holes.
2. Engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off
and remove key before dismounting from tractor.
3. Attach tractor’s 3-Point lower links to the seeder’s
lower hitch clevises using 7/8” diameter hitch pins.
Secure hitch pins with linch pins.
4. Attach tractor’s top center link to the seeder’s top
hitch using a 3/4” diameter hitch pin. Secure hitch pin
with a linch pin.
5. Ensure that the lower hitch arms are blocked to
prevent excessive side movement.
6. Return to tractor and slowly operate controls up and
down to make sure seeder clears tractor tires, frame
and drawbar. Move or remove drawbar if it interferes.
7. Manually adjust one of the tractor’s lower lift arms up
or down to level the seeder from left to right.
8. With the seeder resting on level ground, manually
adjust tractor’s top link until the seeder is level from
front to rear.
