Slow Moving Vehicle Mounting Socket

Figure 2-7

Refer to Figure 2-7:

1. Relocate slow moving vehicle sign from back of your 

tractor to mounting socket (#5) on the back of the 

seeder.

2. With tractor in park or park brake set, start tractor and 

operate tractor control lever to raise seeder fully up 

for transporting. Skip to step 5 if transporting with a 

3-point mounted seeder.

3. Before transporting the pull-type seeder, store park 

jack on the seeder main frame. See 

“Store Park 

Jack” 

on page 25 for detailed instructions,

4. Install transport locks and stroke control spacers 

before traveling with pull-type unit. For detailed 

instructions, see 

“Install Transport Locks & 

Spacers” 

on page 26.

5. Start tractor and select a safe ground travel speed 

when transporting from one area to another. Do not 

exceed 20 miles per hour travel speed. 

6. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way 

that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely. 

7. Reduce tractor ground speed when turning. Leave 

enough clearance so that the seeder does not 

contact obstacles such as buildings, trees, or fences.

8. Shift tractor to a lower gear when traveling over rough 

or hilly terrain.

IMPORTANT: 

The slow moving vehicle sign should 

not be used when transporting equipment on a truck 

or trailer exceeding speeds of 25 mph. Cover or 

remove the sign when hauling the NTS Seeder.

NOTE:  

 If needed, a slow moving vehicle sign can 

be purchased from your nearest Land Pride dealer. 

Refer to 

“Slow Moving Vehicle Sign (Accessory)” 

on page 56.

Level 3-Point Mount Seeder

Figure 2-8

Level Seeder With 3-Point Mount

Refer to Figure 2-8:

Leveling the seeder should be done in the field you wish 

to seed. This is because the seeder should be leveled 

with front spikes penetrating the soil while the rear packer 

roller rests on top of the soil.

1. Enter field to be seeded.
2. Lower seeder and pull ahead 15 feet or until both 

front and rear rollers are fully engaged in the ground.

3. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting. Refer 

to 

“Tractor Shutdown Procedure” 

on page 21.

4. Place a level (#1) across the mainframe from front to 

back as shown. 

5. Manually adjust length of upper center 3-point link to 

level the seeder from front to back. Refer to the 

tractor’s Operator Manual for instructions on 

adjusting upper center 3-point link.

6. Pull ahead another 15 feet and repeat steps 4 & 5.

IMPORTANT: 

Front spike rollers will not function 

properly unless the frame is level with the ground.
