Front Disc
The front disc tool can be used to prepare a seedbed
without the need for a separate disc or tillage tool used
ahead of time. When the discs are straight, the seeder
has little soil disturbance. When the discs are angled
fully backward, there is maximum soil disturbance and
the seedbed can be prepared usually in one or two
passes. The disc has three angled positions to provide
an array of soil penetration depths and seedbed prepa-
ration.

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 disc. (see Figure 7).
3. Lower Overseeder to resting position on wooden
blocks for support during front disc 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 11).
