Loading Materials
The drill must be hitched for seed loading. Seed may be
loaded in the field or prior to transport.
To determine the weight of a fully loaded drill, see
“
Weights for Tractor Requirements ” on page 28. Use
this weight when checking tractor capability.
The mainframe may be raised or lowered. Lowered
places the walkboards closer to the ground, reducing
effort when manually loading bagged seed. If equipped
with ladders, swing them down.
Load slightly more material than needed, because
consumption rates can vary between compartments
even though the furrow rates are identical.
Do not overfill boxes. Contents should be level with the
bottom of the lid opening. Overfilling can damage boxes and
hinge supports.
Possible Agricultural Chemicals Hazards:
Take all necessary materials safety
precautions when loading dusty seed,
treated seed or fertilizer.
Loading Main Seed Box
1. Check that all meter doors are positioned for the
seed size, and not set for clean-out. See “
Position
Seed Cup Doors ” on page 35. If loading prior to
transport, set them to position 1 (smallest seed).
2. Install or remove optional seed plugs as desired for
the row spacing planned. See “
Seed Tube Plug ”
on page 92.
3. If loading prior to transport, and calibration has not
yet been done, set Seed Rate Handles to 0. At 0,
and with the doors at 1, no seed can leak during
transport.
4. On HDF (fertilizer-capable) drill models:
• Check that any offset box dividers are set to the
desired compartment ratio. See “ Offset Box
Divider ” on page 91.
• Check that the divider flap is set as desired
(separate compartments, or all-seed). See
“
Fertilizer Box Operation ” on page 38.
• If seeding only from the forward (seed)
compartment, flip the top spill flap (page 39)
back to prevent seed from entering the fertilizer
compartment. See “
Fertilizer Box Operation ”
on page 38.
5. Take all necessary materials safety precautions if
the seed is treated.
6. Load material into box. Make sure material is
loaded or spread evenly across all partitions. Use
tool or gloved hand. Do not over fill boxes.
7. To reduce wear, remove main shaft drive chains for
small seed boxes.
Loading Small Seeds Box
1. If loading prior to transport, and calibration has not
yet been done, set Seed Rate Handles to 0. At 0,
no seed can leak during transport.
2. Take all necessary materials safety precautions if
the seed is treated.
3. Load material into box. Make sure material is
loaded or spread evenly across all partitions. Use
tool or gloved hand. Do not over fill boxes.
4. To reduce wear, remove main shaft drive chains for
main seed boxes.
