Helpful Planting Hints
1.) Do not fill Seeder Assembly with Seed prior to reaching the area you will be
planting. Also, do not over-fill seeder beyond the recommendation. If you do the
seed will become compacted around the brush and will stall your electric motor.
(In case of compaction, open seed gate fully and then turn seeder motor on/off to
relieve binding)
2.) If you will be planting small, similar or same size single species seeds (turnips,
chicory, clover etc up to soybean) it is recommended that you use some type of
additive to avoid compaction around the Versa Brushes. This gives the air pockets
needed to stop compaction.
(The most commonly used additive is oil absorb. You can also mix additional seed)
3.) The Augur Shield inside of the seeder is there to help relieve the weight of heavier
seed onto the Versa Brush itself. This shield can be removed when dispensing loftier
seed. Loftier seed can bridge between the shield and the brush and may cause
binding of the brush and or motor. (Rye, Wheat, Oats, Grasses etc.)
4.) It is recommended to use “de-bearded” Grasses. The beards on these seeds can
collect in the Versa Brush and inhibit correct dispensing of your seeds.
(Blue Stem, Switch Grass, Indian Grass etc.)
As with all tillage equipment it is not recommended
to make turns while the unit is engaged in the
disking position. The Hunter UNITS come standard
with a Category 1 Lift pin
