Operation 11
MAN1280 (4/05/2019)
Figure 4. Jack Positions
Attaching Electronic Harness
1. Attach wire harness from seeder to prime mover.
2. Route wire through the guide on the tow kit tongue
and be sure the wire can slide freely in the guide.
Do not allow wire slack to drag on the ground or
become caught on prime mover protrusions.
Attaching Hydraulic Hoses
1. Attach hydraulic hoses from the seeder to the
prime mover.
2. Route the hoses through the hose guide on the tow
kit tongue and be sure the hoses can slide freely in
the guide. Do not allow hose slack to drag on the
ground or become caught on prime mover
protrusions.
3. From the operator position, start the prime mover,
then raise and lower the seeder several times. This
will purge the hydraulic cylinder and hoses of
trapped air.
Interference Check
1. Be sure that the tractor 3-point arms do not
interfere with wire harness / hydraulic hoses or tow
kit components.
2. Check for straight ahead operation and full turning
angles. If there is any interference, remove the 3-
point arms.
IMPORTANT: Contact between 3-point arms and
seeder/tow kit can cause damage, especially when
turning.
COMPACT SUPER SEEDER ATTITUDE
ADJUSTMENT
The Compact Super Seeder can be used as both a till-
age tool and a seeding tool. When used strictly as a till-
age tool, a nose-down attitude will provide the most
aggressive tillage. When used for tillage and seeding at
the same time, a level attitude is preferable. If the Com-
pact Super Seeder is being used to seed already-tilled
soil, a slight nose-up attitude may be preferable for
minimum soil disturbance. With the seeder connected
to the tractor, attitude adjustments can be made by fol-
lowing these instructions:
Nose - Down Attitude Adjustment
3-Point Mounted
1. Lower seeder to the ground.
2. Pin the tractor top link into the fixed top link hole.
3. Shorten the tractor top link length until the drive
roller has been lifted off the ground a distance
equivalent to the desired tillage depth. Fix the top
link length by tightening the jam nut on the top link.
4. Resume operation and check performance.
Repeat as necessary.
Drawbar Mounted
1. Lower seeder to the ground.
2. With jack stand in the storage location and seeder
engaging the ground, unpin the adjustment
channel from tongue. Pinning farther from seeder
will provide more aggressive tillage.
3. Use jack stand to align adjustment channel with
appropriate hole on tongue. Pin in desired location.
4. Resume operation and check performance.
Repeat as necessary.
Nose - Up Attitude Adjustment
3-Point Mounted
1. Lower seeder to the ground.
