PRECISION SUPER SEEDER ATTITUDE
ADJUSTMENT
The Precision 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 Pre-
cision Super Seeder is used to seed tilled soil, a slight
nose-up attitude may be preferable for minimum soil
disturbance. While the seeder is connected to the trac-
tor, follow these instructions to make attitude adjust-
ments to the seeder:
Nose - Down Attitude Adjustment
3-Point Mounted
1. Lower the seeder to the ground.
2. Pin the tractor top link into the appropriate fixed top
link hole (Cat 1 or 2).
3. Shorten the tractor top link length until the drive
roller has been lifted off the ground 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. Raise seeder to full height and secure with
transport locks. Measure the front tool height from
the ground (disc blades or spiked rollers).
2. Rotate tongue ratchet jack clockwise to adjust
attitude forward. Measure front tool height again for
increased tillage depth.
3. Fix ratchet jack length by tightening the jam nut.
Release transport locks and resume operation.
Check performance and repeat as necessary.
Nose - Up Attitude Adjustment
3-Point Mounted
1. Lower the seeder to the ground.
2. Pin the tractor top link into the appropriate fixed top
link hole (CAT 1 or 2).
3. Lengthen the tractor top link length until the front
tool (disc blades or spiked rollers) has been lifted
off the ground a sufficient distance. Fix the top link
length by tightening jam nut on the top link.
4. Resume operation and check performance.
Repeat as necessary.
Drawbar Mounted
1. Raise seeder to full height and secure with
transport locks. Measure the front tool height from
the round (disc blades or spiked rollers).
2. Rotate tongue ratchet jack counter-clockwise to
adjust attitude rearward. Measure front tool height
again for decreased tillage depth.
3. Fix ratchet jack length by tightening the jam nut.
Release transport locks and resume operation.
Check performance and repeat as necessary.
NOTICE
■ Excessive forward or rear attitude adjustment
will lead to poor performance and may cause
equipment damage or premature bearing failure.
Adjust Front Roller Angle
1. Position tractor and Precision Super Seeder on a
level surface.
2. Set seeder on the ground and set parking brake.
3. Remove bent pin and hair pin clip from the front of
seeder (see Figure 12).
4. Place wooden blocks (minimum 4" thickness) on
ground to align with each end of Precision Super
Seeder.
Figure 12. Bent Pin and Lock Assembly - Disc Slide
5. Raise the seeder slightly off the ground and
position over wooden blocks by moving tractor. Do
not allow wooden block to contact the front roller
(see Figure 13.)
