TONGUE WEIGHT. Be aware of the special
precautions you should take when working with an
implement that can develop Negative Tongue
Weight.
Make sure all major components and loose parts
are shipped with the machine.

Tractor Requirements
Your PS25120 is designed for tractors in the Category 2
class. Horsepower rating of the tractor should not be less
than 40 HP for a pull-type unit and not less than 50 HP for
3-Point, front wheel, or end wheel units.
Check tractor’s 3-Point lifting capacity. Make certain that
the tractor’s 3-Point lifting capacity and front end weight
is adequate for lifting and controlling the seeder under all
operating conditions. Refer to “Specifications &
Capacities” on page 31 for seeder weight.
Torque Requirements
Refer to “Torque Values Chart” on page 35 to
determine correct torque values when tightening
hardware.
Sling Brackets
Refer to Figure 1-1:
The sling brackets (#1) allow points at each end of the
seeder to hook a chain for lifting of the unit. When
hooking a chain to the sling brackets, be certain to use a
spreader bar on the chain or a long chain to prevent
bending the sling brackets.
After uncrating the unit, check to see if there are two sling
brackets (#1) installed on each end. If not, install them
now.
1.
Attach two sling brackets (#1) on each end of the
seed box with 5/8"-11 x 1 1/4" GR5 cap screws (#2),
flat washers (#3), and hex nuts (#4).
2.
Tighten nuts to the correct torque.
