General Operation
1. The minimum horsepower requirements are typically
6-8 horsepower per foot. This will vary widely due to
speed, moisture, and types of soils. Local dealers can
help in making recommendations for your areas. For
3-PT Hitch Models size tractor by 3-PT Hitch
Capacity.
2. Operating speed is typically 4-6 mph. Excessive
speed can result in undesirable germination, seeder
bouncing, or other unpredictable results. Reduce
speed in rocky conditions to prevent wheel breakage.
