Section 2: Operating Instructions
NTS2507, NTS2509, & NTS2511 No-Till Seeder 313-629M
3/6/18
Level Seeder With Pull Hitch
1.
Transport to the field with seeder attached. For
detailed instructions, see
2.
Park seeder on level ground, raise seeder fully up,
place tractor in park or set park brake, shut tractor off,
and remove switch key before dismounting.
Refer to Figure 2-8:
3.
Remove wire retaining pins (#10), transport
locks (#11), and stroke control spacers (#9) from all
three hydraulic lift cylinders and store on nearby
storage racks as shown. Secure transport locks to
storage racks with wire retaining pins (#10).
4.
Start tractor and lower seeder to the ground using
factory float. Keep tractor hydraulic lever in factory
float while seeding seeds.
5.
Pull ahead 15 feet or until both front and rear rollers
are fully engaged in the ground and then stop.
6.
Without changing height of implement, shut tractor
down properly before dismounting. Refer to
Refer to Figure 2-8:
7.
Place a level (#19) on the mainframe from front to
back to verify frame is level (parallel) with the ground.
8.
If frame is not parallel with the ground, unhook tractor
from seeder as follows:
a. Attach park jack (#14) to jack mount (#16) with
detent pin (#13). Insert detent pin horizontally as
shown. Make sure detent pin is fully inserted.
b. Extend jack (#14) to remove load from drawbar.
IMPORTANT:
Front angling spike rollers will not
function properly unless frame is level to the ground.
IMPORTANT:
Always operate seeder with transport
wheels on the ground and seeder level to prevent
dirt build-up and seeder damage.
Align Clevis With Tractor Drawbar
Figure 2-8
39057
c. Leave hydraulic hoses (not shown) hooked to the
tractor unless they are too short to move the
tractor forward 6" with seeder unhooked from the
tractor. If needed, unhook hydraulic hoses as
follows:
•
Move hydraulic control lever back and forth
several times to release all hydraulic pressure.
•
Disconnect hoses from tractor duplex outlet and
store loose ends on the seeder frame to keep
dirt off the couplers.
d. Unhook safety chain (#12) from tractor.
e. Unhook seeder from tractor by removing hitch pin
keeper (#5), hitch pin (#6), and flat washers (#1A
& #1B). Be careful not to lose washers, hitch pin,
and hitch pin keeper.
f. Start tractor and drive forward until drawbar (#1) is
removed from clevis (#2). If attached, be careful
not to pull hydraulic hoses tight.
g. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting.
9.
Adjust park jack (#14) up or down until seeder main
frame is level (parallel) with the ground.
10. Check clevis hitch (#2). The clevis plates should be
in line with the drawbar. If not, then readjust clevis
hitch height up or down as follows:
a. Remove nylock nut (#17) and bolt (#18).
b. Move clevis (#2) until clevises upper and lower
plates are parallel with tractor drawbar.
c. Attach clevis (#2) to seeder hitch (#4) with existing
1"-8 x 6" GR5 bolt (#18) and nylock nut (#17).
Draw nylock nut up snug. Do not tighten.
d. To protect wire retaining pin (#7) from being bent,
move pin to the hole furtherest from the clevis or
store pin with the tractor until unhooking the unit.
IMPORTANT:
Clevis (#2) should be in line with
tractor drawbar during field operation to reduce wear
on the drawbar.
