Loading: Use a Tractor
3. Securely hitch drill to a tractor with adequate weight
and power. Park drill on solid, level ground. See
Tractor Requirements, “
Specifications and
Capacities ” on page 143. If a suitable tractor is not
available, block multiple tires.
4. Raise openers (page 33) and fold drill (page 38).
Tilt-up and hook may be necessary for later
transport, but fold suffices for provide easy access for
material loading.
5. Lower and latch ladder (page 44).
Loading: Select Hoppers to Use
6. Favor the rear hopper. The rear hopper is easier to
load, and to unload if materials are expected to
remain upon completion of application.
If applying the same material from both hoppers,
consume the front hopper first, rather than both at
once. Remove a final drive gear to shut off a hopper.
Loading: Air-Out System
Refer to Figure 61
7. At each empty hopper to be loaded, if meter box
clean-out door was completely closed, open it. See
“
Meter Doors ” on page 46.
8. If any doors were opened, wipe seals and meter
bottom flanges clean. Close and latch clean-out
doors.
9. If the drill has been parked for more than a day,
condensation may have caused moisture to
accumulate. Whether or not meter doors are opened,
run the fan system for several minutes to blow
moisture out of the meters, primary and secondary
seed hoses.
10. With the fan running, check hopper-lid and meter-box
seals carefully for air leaks. Adjust bin latch or
replace seals to prevent leakage.
Loading: Prepare Hopper(s)
11. Shut off all hydraulic power to the drill.
12. Open lid of hopper to be loaded (page 45).
13. Check that the strainer basket is in place in the top of
the bin. Remove any foreign material from basket.
 Static tongue weight of a loaded drill is about 2180 kg
(4800 pounds) on level ground and more when facing
downhill.

Before filling the drill for the first time, and at the beginning of
each season, check the entire bin for leaks. A small air leak
can cause large variations in seeding rates.
