MAN0988 (11/5/2012)
HITCHING PRECISION SUPER SEEDER
TO TRACTOR WITH TOW KIT
Make sure shields and guards are properly
installed and in good condition. Replace if dam-
aged.
1. Park seeder and tractor on a level, hard-surfaced
area.
2. Adjust clevis hitch bracket on tow kit tongue so it is
level when attached to tractor.
3. Adjust the parking jack to match tow kit tongue
height to the tractor drawbar height.
4. Pin the tongue to the tractor drawbar.
NOTICE: When attaching seeder to tractor draw-
bar, make sure the correct drawbar pin is used. A
Category 1 drawbar is 1"; Category 2 is 1.25". Fail-
ure to use the correct pin size will result in prema-
ture 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 tractor
for a long period of time, secure hitch to drawbar
using a bolt, lock nut, and washers tightly assem-
bled. This will reduce wear on drawbar and hitch.
5. Attach the safety chain to the tractor as shown in
Figure 10. Limit chain slack to only what is needed
for turning. Be sure to lock hook securely.

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 storage tube on the top of the
left wheel arm. This location prevents accidental
contact from the rear tractor tire, which could result
in damage to the jack. See Figure 11.

Attaching Hydraulic Hoses
1. Attach the hydraulic hoses from the seeder to the
tractor.
2. Route the hoses through the hose guide of the tow
kit tongue and be sure the hoses can slide freely in
the guide.
3. From the operator position, start the tractor and
raise and lower the seeder several times. This will
purge the hydraulic cylinders and hoses of trapped
air.
Interference Check
1. Be sure that the tractor 3-point arms do not
interfere with 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.
NOTICE: Contact between 3-point arms and seeder
can cause damage, especially when turning.
