Tractor Preparation for
Attaching 3-PT Hitch Seeder
1. Brillion 8, 10, and 12 Foot 3-PT Seeders are designed
to be pulled with Category 2 Free Link and Category
2 or 3N Quick Hitch Coupler.
See Figure 3-1. Be sure
Tractor's Hitch Capacity is not exceeded by the Laden
Mass of the Seeder.
Refer to Tractor Operator's
Manual.
2. Be sure Tractor is properly ballasted. A minimum 25%
of Tractor and Equipment Laden Mass must be on
Tractor Front Wheels in transport position to maintain
stability. Calculate the Loaded Seeder Mass.
See
“Specifications” on Page 6-1. (Seeder weight plus
the seed box capacity with desired seed.) Refer to
Tractor Operator's Manual.
3. Check the Tractor tire inflation levels to ensure that
they are properly inflated for the additional Laden
Seeder Mass.
Refer to the Tractor Operator's
Manual. Be sure not to over ballast and exceed
Tractor Tire Capacity.
4. Set Tractor 3-PT Lower Links to allow lateral
(torsional) float. Refer to Tractor Operator's
Manual. If left rigid, your Brillion Seeder may not
follow ground contours resulting in poor germination.
5. Set Lift Rod length long enough to ensure Seeder can
float downward in the case of a furrow or waterway.
Lower Links should be the same height, leveling your
Brillion Seeder side to side. Fine adjustments may
need to be made after hookup is completed.
Refer to
the Tractor Operator's Manual.
6. Attach Seeder to the Tractor's 3-PT Free Link or
Quick Coupler using the appropriate size pins and
bushings. Be sure to use the hardware provided and
is in good working order.
See Figure 3-1.
7. Refer to the Tractor Operator's Manual for Quick
Hitch Operation.

8. Connect 7-Pin Connector to Tractor Outlet, routing
cable by avoiding pinch points.
• Make sure the tractor has a good clean
receptacle, free of dirt and corrosion.
• Make sure the 7-Pin Connector is inserted ALL
the way in. With tighter fitting pins, operator may
think the Connector is all the way in, but really
isn’t.
• Make sure the tractor receptacle cover latches
over the keyway on the 7-Pin Connector to hold
the Connector in place.
• If an operator plugs in the 7-Pin Connector, but
the lights do not seem to work right, check the
above items to make sure there is a good
connection with the 7-Pin Connector.
9. Install Clutch Switch Box or Brillion Elite Mini Monitor
to tractor.
Clutch Switch Box: Connect Clutch Switch Box
Cord with Ring Terminals to tractor power source.
Ring Terminals can be removed and replaced with a
different power source connector. Connect 2-Pin
Connector to Clutch Harness.
Brillion Elite Mini Monitor: Connect the Elite Mini
Tractor Harness to 14-Pin Connector to Brillion Mini
Monitor, 3-Pin Plug to the 12 Volt Tractor
Convenience Outlet and 6-Pin Connector to 240"
Extension Harness. Elite Mini Tractor Harness 4-Pin
Connector is not used this time.
10. Raise seeder. Remove Parking Pin. See Figure 3-3.
Adjust or lock tractor sway stabilizers if equipped,
centering the Seeder with the Tractor.
Refer to the
Tractor Operator's Manual.
11. Lower Seeder, if necessary level Seeder side to side
(laterally) by adjusting Lift Rod length. Level Seeder
front to back by adjusting the Tractor Upper Link
length as required.
Refer to the Tractor Operator’s
Manual.
Do not allow any bystanders to stand between the
tractor and the machine while backing up to the
