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.
