MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Mounting M3B Seeder To Farm Tractors
Place the main frame (#T303) of the seeder on the drawbar (hitch) of the tractor and attach
it with the 5/8” x 2-1/2” hex head bolt provided. This bolt will screw into the bottom of the
main frame. (A 5/8” hex head nut is welded inside the main frame.) Attach one brace rod
(#T203) to each side of the hopper by bolting the small hole end of the brace rod to the hole
in the corner brace (#T205). Then attach the large loop end of the brace rods to a solid bolt
on the tractor frame or axle housing. Push the top of the hopper toward the tractor and
tighten the brace rod clamps to put slight tension on the brace rods. Now follow the wiring
diagram on the next page to complete the installation.
If the tractor has a category 1 three point hitch, we have available as an option the lower
cross bar (#T505) and the upper three point hitch bracket (#T393).
Mounting M3B Seeder To Pickup Trucks
This seeder can be mounted to a pickup truck by three different methods. The first method
is by using the brace rods (#T203) that are provided with the seeder as standard
equipment. Place the main frame (#T303) of the seeder on the rear bumper of the pickup
making sure that the bottom of the frame is over the hole provided in the bumper. Using
the 5/8” x 2-1/2” hex head bolt provided, insert it from the bottom of the bumper up through
the hole in the bumper. Then screw it into the 5/8” hex head nut that is welded inside the
seeder main frame. Now attach the small hole ends of the two brace rods (#T203) to the top
of the hopper using the holes provided in the corner braces (#T205). Attach one brace rod
to each side of the hopper. Then attach the large loop end of the brace rods to a solid spot
on the pickup bed or side rails. If there are not any existing holes, you will have to drill
them to complete this installation. Now follow the wiring diagram on the next page to
complete the mounting.
The second method is to use the optional pickup mounting rails (#T502). These mounting
rails allow the seeder to be mounted to a pickup without drilling holes for the brace rods.
The pickup must have stake pockets at the rear of the pickup bed for the optional mounting
rails to be used. Complete instructions are furnished when this option is ordered.
The third method is the optional 2” receiver mount hitch (#T700). This mounting requires
that the pickup already has a 2” receiver attached. Complete instructions are furnished
when this option is ordered.
Mounting M3B Seeder To T12-300 Flotation Trailer
The optional T12-300 Flotation Trailer is available from Herd Seeder Company to mount
the M3B Seeder using the brace rods (#T203) which are furnished standard with the
seeder. Complete instructions are furnished when this option is ordered.
