Section 1: Assembly & Set-up
Tractor Requirements
Tractor horsepower should be within the range noted
below. Tractors outside the horsepower range must not
be used. The lower 3-point arms must be stabilized to
prevent side-to-side movement. Most tractors have sway
blocks or adjustable chains for this purpose. Make
certain that the tractor’s 3-point lifting capacity and
weight is capable of lifting and controlling the seeder
under all operating conditions. Refer to “
Specifications
& Capacities”
on page 25 for seeder weight and
Warning below.
Hitch Type . . . . .3 - Point Cat. 1 or Cat. 1 Quick Hitch
!
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
Lightweight tractors with rear attached implements may need
weights added to the front to maintain steering control.
Consult your tractor Operator’s Manual to determine proper
weight requirements and maximum weight limitations.
