Loading Material
Falling Hazard
Do not climb ladder with full seed or
fertilizer bags. Place bags on walkboard
before climbing ladder.
Chemical Hazard
If using treated seed, take all material safety
precautions to prevent serious injury.
Fully loaded with dense seed and fertilizer, the drill
weighs an additional 894 kg. Include this weight
when checking tractor capability.
The drill must be hitched for seed loading.
Load slightly more material than needed.
Consumption rates can vary between compartments
even though the furrow rates are identical.
Loading Main and Dual Seed Boxes
1. Check that all meter doors are positioned for the
seed size, and not set for clean-out. See the
Material Rate Manual.
If loading before transport, set the meter doors to
position 1.
2. Install or remove optional seed plugs as desired
for the row spacing planned.
3. If loading before transport, and calibration has
not yet been done, set seed rate handle to 0. At
0, and with the doors at 1, no seed can leak
during transport.
4. Pivot the box lid handle up to release the lid.
5. Load seed evenly into compartments.
6. Reduce wear on unused boxes that may also be
present:

Remove final drive chain for small seed box.

Remove native grass ground drive chain
(right wheel).
Loading Native Grass Box
1. Pivot the box lid handle up to release the lid.
2. Load seed evenly into compartments.
Loading Small Seeds Box
1. If loading before transport, and calibration has
not yet been done, set seed rate handle to 0. At
0, no seed can leak during transport.
2. Pull up the two external rubber latches to release
the lid.
3. Load seed evenly into compartments.
4. To reduce wear, remove shaft drive chains for
main seed boxes.
Loading Fertilizer
Fully loaded with dense fertilizer, the drill can weigh
an additional 318 kg or more. Include this weight
when checking tractor capability.
Load fertilizer after transport if possible. If not
possible, set the meters to 0 and disengage the drive
system to avoid fertilizer spillage during transport.
1. Check that fertilizer clean-out door is closed and
all latches are secure.
2. If loading before transport, and calibration has
not yet been done, set rate adjuster to 0. At 0, no
fertilizer can leak during transport.
3. Lift the handle to release the lid.
4. Load fertilizer evenly into fertilizer compartment.
5. To reduce wear, remove drive chains for seed
boxes not used.

Material Rates Overview
Rate setting controls are different for each box, but
independent for each box. Some boxes have more
than one control.
Seed is applied by fluted feed meters driven by the
ground wheels. Independent mechanisms drive main
seed, fertilizer, native grass, and small seeds
application.
Main box seed rate is controlled by:

Left-hand drive-type gearbox lever

Seed rate handle at box (drill front)

Feed cup door (one each seed tube)
Dual box seed rate is controlled by:

Right-hand drive-type gearbox lever

Seed rate handle at box (drill rear)

Feed cup door (one each seed tube)
Native grass rate is controlled by:

Rate reduction sprockets

Right-hand drive-type gearbox lever (drill front)

Driven sprocket at native grass seed box
Small seeds rate is controlled by a rate handle at the
box (drill rear).
Fertilizer rate is controlled by a rate adjuster at the
box (drill rear).
All chart rates, for all boxes, are approximate.
It is
strongly recommended to calibrate each box to the
material to be applied.
See the seed rate manual for rate setting details.
