OPERATION
The operator is responsible for the safe operation of this seeder. The operator must be properly
trained. Operators should be familiar with the equipment, the tractor, and all safety practices
before starting operation. Read the safety rules and safety decals provided in this operator’s
manual.
The Multi-Drill is an excellent primary seeder, food plot seeder, and conservation seeder. Its
primary function is to deliver a variety of seed to the soil at the desired depth with minimal ground
disturbance. The Multi-Drill does this utilizing a series of discs to cut narrow slits in the ground
where seed is precisely positioned at the proper depth and packed down via closing wheels. The
Multi-Drill is capable of planting multiple seed varieties at once due to its optional second seed
box attachment. Seed plates are adjusted on the hoppers to achieve the desired seed rates while
electric actuators shuttle the hopper outlets open and closed. When the electric actuators open the
hopper outlets, an electric motor stirs the seed over every outlet to encourage the free flow of seed
at the measured rate. The speed of the electric motor can be manipulated to finetune the seed rate.
