Long-Term Storage
Clean, inspect, service, and make necessary repairs to
the implement when storing it for long periods and at the
end of the season. This will help to ensure the unit is
ready for field use the next time you hook-up to it.
1.
Be sure that the seed box is completely cleaned
before storing. It is best to do this while still hooked to
a tractor or skid steer.
a. Scoop out any large quantities of seed left in the
box. Finish by using a small broom or vacuum
sweeper.
Refer to Figure 4-2:
b. Move seeder rate adjustment lever(s) all the way
to the right to fully open seed cups.
c. Run seeder over the ground to power the seed
cups to remove out-of-reach seeds.
d. Make a final sweep or vacuum the seed cups to
finish the cleaning job.

2.
Inspect seeder for loose, damaged, or worn parts
and adjust or replace if needed with genuine Kubota
parts. Do not alter Kubota equipment. Altering
equipment can hinder performance and/or cause
damage to the equipment.
3.
Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust. Ask your Kubota dealer for aerosol
touch-up paint. Paint is also available in touch-up
bottles with brush, quarts, and gallon sizes by adding
TU, QT, or GL to the end of the aerosol part number.
