The NTS Seeders are quick hitch compatible. Make sure
your quick hitch lift capacity is rated for picking up and
transporting a fully loaded seeder. Use Land Pride’s
QH20 Quick Hitch or one that is compatible.
Torque Requirements
Refer to
“Torque Values Chart for Common Bolt Sizes”
on page 70 to determine correct torque values when
tightening hardware. See
bottom of chart for exceptions to common torque values.
