Description of Unit
The 1300 is a towed seeding implement. Working width is
13 feet. Double disks open a seed furrow. Press wheels
follow the disks to control seeding depth and close the fur-
row. Opener down pressure and press-wheel height are
adjustable. Seeding is driven through the left end wheel. A
sprocket drive allows you to adjust the seeding rate. An
optional fertilizer divider and drive allow you to plant seed
and apply dry fertilizer in the same field pass. An optional
small-seeds attachment allows you to plant very small
seeds evenly.
Intended Usage
Use this drill in conventional- and some minimum-tillage
