Seeder to Implement Hitch to Suit 1880RT
The 1880RT seeder uses a rigid ‘A
frame’ pull that is mounted to the rear of the
implement. It is self-supporting and can be
left on the implement for manoeuvring
purposes. The following steps should be
used to help in fitment.
Step 1. Locate vertical support brackets on
the rear row of the implement at
approximately 2800mm width about
the implement’s centreline. This
can be altered to suit your specific
implement and tine layout.
Step 2. Fit the braces and support brackets
that run forward to the second last
row. If possible splay the braces
out so that they will help take the
load when turning. (Refer Fig. A9).
Step 3. Fit the 2 pull arms, separately, to
the vertical supports using the
clevis pins supplied.
Step 4. Lift 1 arm at a time pivoting about
the vertical support pin and slide
spring support up through the
square tube slide on the outside of
the arm. Fit the small pin at the
base of the spring mechanism to
hold arm horizontal. Repeat for
second arm.

Step 5. Join the two arms together at the
rear shutting them like a gate. You
may need to rest the central bar in
the pull arm extension (refer Fig. A7)
to help flatten the left hand arm and
use the handle attached to the rear
of the right hand arm to level that
side.

Step 6. Refit the central bar (item 6 in Fig.
A9) between the arms sliding the
mounts along until its position is
perpendicular to the centreline of the
machine.
Step 7. Fit primary coupling support bracket
centrally on the rear bar of the
implement.
Step 8. Fit the primary hose supports to the
front of the seeder and the centre of
the ‘A frame’ bar. Unit is now ready
for the primary hoses to be fitted.
On some model implements it may
be necessary to use an adapter bracket to
raise the primary hose coupling. Refer to the
options section in the Parts Manual.
