WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Lightweight tractors with rear attached implements may need
weights added to the front to maintain steering control.
Consult your tractor Operator’s Manual to determine weight
requirements and maximum limitations.
A 3-point Category II hitch is required unless the seeder
is Model MPS2607 without the Native Seedbox. Refer to
“Tractor Requirements”
on page 13 for detailed hitch
requirements. The tractor’s lower 3-point arms must be
stabilized to prevent side-to-side movement. Most
tractors have sway blocks or adjustable chains for this
purpose.
1.
Slowly back tractor up to the seeder while using the
3-point hydraulic control lever to lower and position
holes in the lift arms between Cat. I or Cat. II clevis
plates and in-line with clevis plate hitch holes.
2.
Shut tractor down properly before dismounting. Refer
to
“Tractor Shutdown Procedure”
on page 21.
3.
Attach lower lift arms to clevises with hitch pin (#1)
and secure with linchpins (#2). Make sure retainer is
rotated down to secure linchpins.
4.
Adjust length of top center 3-point link to align center
link hitch hole with upper hitch hole on the seeder.
NOTE:
Land Pride’s Quick Hitch can be attached to
the tractor to provide quick and easy 3-point hook-
up and detachment. Be sure to read
“Quick Hitch
Compatibility”
on page 13 before hooking-up with
a quick hitch. See your nearest Land Pride dealer to
purchase a Quick Hitch.
5.
Attach top center link to the seeder using
customer
supplied 3/4" diameter hitch pin (#3) and hitch
pin keeper (#5).
6.
Start tractor and slowly operate controls to raise and
lower seeder to make sure the seeder clears the
tractor tires, frame, and drawbar.
7.
If drawbar interferes with seeder, shut tractor down
properly and the move drawbar out of the way or
remove it from the tractor. Refer to Tractor Operator’s
Manual for instructions on moving or removing
drawbar.
8.
If not parked on level ground, restart tractor and
move to level ground.
9.
Lower seeder until unit is resting on the ground.
10. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting.
11. Place a level across the main frame running from left
to right.

until seeder is level from left to right.

center 3-point link to level seeder from front to back.
Final adjustment of the center link will be made later
in the field. See
“Level Seeder With 3-Point Mount”
on page 27.

round pin receiver. See Figure 1-1 on page 13.
