Figure 2. Seeder Hitch Positions
HITCHING COMPACT SUPER SEEDER
WITH TOW KIT
■ Make sure shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if dam-
aged.
■ Never use an intermediate support as the pri-
mary attaching point for safety chain.
■ Never operate seeder equipped with tow kit
without safety chain properly attached to prime
mover. Replace safety chain if any links or fittings
are damaged or deformed.
1. Park seeder and prime mover on a level, hard
surface.
2. Adjust clevis hitch bracket on tow kit tongue so it is
level when attached to the prime mover.
3. Adjust the parking jack to match tow kit tongue
height to the prime mover drawbar height.
4. Pin the tongue to the prime mover drawbar.
NOTICE: When attaching seeder to tractor drawbar,
make sure the correct drawbar pin is used. A Category
1 drawbar pin is Ø1". Failure to use the correct pin size
will result in premature wear of hitch and drawbar hole.
If the hitch on the seeder doesn’t match your tractor
drawbar, contact your dealer to order the correct size
hitch for your tractor. If seeder will be attached to trac-
tor for a long period of time, secure hitch to drawbar
using a bolt, locknut, and washers assembled tightly.
This will reduce wear on drawbar and hitch.
5. Attach the safety chain to the prime mover with the
maximum distance between hitch pin and
intermediate support/primary attaching point. See
Figure 3. Route safety chain through hose holder
when not in use.
Figure 3. Safety Tow Chain Installation
NOTICE: Attach safety chain to prime mover with the
minimum possible slack in the chain. Failure to reduce
the slack could cause failure of hoses/wires and dam-
age primary components of the implement and/or
attached accessories.
6. Lower the parking jack until the tongue weight is
fully supported by the drawbar and the jack foot is
off the ground. Unpin the jack from the tongue.
7. Pin the jack to the operation location on top of the
"Y" section on tongue. See Figure 4. This location
prevents accidental contact with the rear tractor
tires, which could result in damage to the jack.
