OPERATION OF THE FPS6

This chapter will cover the basic operation and

procedures for the Landoll Brillion Food Plot Seeder. Be
sure to read and understand the Safety Procedures and
Cautions starting on page 1-1.

Attaching to Tractor

The FPS6 is designed to be used with Category I or

Category II 3 Point Hitch and Quick Attach Category I
and II. The hitch can be adjusted easily by using the
proper sleeves provided. See Figure 2-1.

Initial setting of Tractor Top Link for proper float:

With the machine positioned on level ground and

attached to a tractor, adjust the tractor top link so that the
Floating Link Pin is halfway into the Floating Link Slot.

NOTE

The Floating Link Pin must be in the center of the slot for

proper floating during operation.

Figure 2-1: Floating Hitch

Transporting Pull-Type Seeder

For operation remove Bent Pin and rotate Transport Lock
so that it lines up with the hole in Rockshaft Lug. Install
Bent Pin. See Figure 2-2.

Figure 2-2: Hydraulic Cylinder Operating Position

For transport raise the machine so that the cylinder is
fully extended. Remove Bent Pin and rotate Transport
Lock so that the slot rests on the cylinder rod. Install Bent
Pin under the Cylinder Rod. See Figure 2-3.
