less ground engagement.
3. Use jack stand to align adjustment channel with
appropriate hole on tongue. Pin in desired location.

Repeat as necessary.
NOTICE: Excessive forward or rear attitude adjustment
will lead to poor performance and may cause equip-

COMPACT SUPER SEEDER GROUND
TOOL OPERATION
The Compact Super Seeder is an excellent turf recon-
ditioning tool, primary seeder, food plot and conserva-
tion seeder. Its ground penetration promotes a healthy
root system by allowing water, air, and sunlight to enter
the roots.
Front Rollers
When the front rollers are straight (Figure 5) and the
seeder is pulled forward, the front roller pins will pene-
trate the soil in a straight pushing action, and little dis-
turbance is caused to the turf.
Figure 5. Front Roller in Straight Position - Top View
(48" Seeder Shown)
The front rollers can be angled to promote a more
aggressive tearing action of the turf. The greater the
angle, the more tearing action is applied by the front
roller pins. For severe turf conditions, the maximum
angle position may be desired (Figure 6).

(48" Seeder Shown)
Adjusting Front Roller Angle
1. Position tractor and Overseeder on a level surface.
2. Place wooden blocks (minimum 4" thickness) on
ground to align with each end of Overseeder drive
roller. Raise seeder slightly off the ground, and
position the Overseeder over wooden blocks by
moving tractor. Do not allow wooden block to
contact the front roller. See Figure 7.
Figure 7. Overseeder above Wooden Blocks
3. Lower Overseeder to resting position on wooden
blocks for support during front roller adjustment.
(Follow tractor safe parking procedure in tractor
operator’s manual.)
4. Remove bent pins and hair pin clips from seeder
front tool adjustment. See Figure 9.
