Land Pride
DO NOT open the cup to the wide open position with
seed in the box unless complete clean out is desired.
NOTE: To determine seed rates for seeds not listed
on the charts, compare weight and size to those
listed and use a similar setting. Follow steps 4 and 5
to calibrate the seed rate.
IMPORTANT: Field conditions will affect seeding
rates. When seeding check the amount of seed you
are using by noting acres or square feet seeded,
amount of seed added to seeder, and level of seed in
the seed box. If you suspect that you are seeding
more or less seed than desired, and you have
accurately calibrated the seeder to your seed, you
may need to adjust the seeding rate slightly to
compensate for field conditions.
NOTE: This seeder is equipped with a four-position
feed cup door on each feed cup. The highest handle
position is for small seeds, the second and third
positions are for larger seeds. For application with
this seeder, you will only need to use the highest
position. MAKE SURE all handles are in the same
position before seeding. The wide open position will
allow complete clean out of the feed cup.

Roller Down Pressure
Refer to Figure 3-3:
Maintaining proper roller down pressure is important for
consistent roller to soil contact. The feeder cups are driven
off the roller. Adjusting nut up, which compresses spring
and decreases dimension giving more pressure to roller.
Adjusting nut down decreases roller pressure. Not enough
down pressure may not compact the soil sufficiently for
proper seed germination.
NOTE: For best results set both ends the same.
