Field Operation
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed
between the tractor and drill. Do not stand or place
any part of your body between drill and moving trac-
tor. Stop tractor engine and set park brake before in-
stalling pins.
1. Hitch drill to a suitable tractor. Refer to “Hitch-
ing Tractor to Drill,” page 18.
2. Before operation, make sure you are using
the correct sprockets for the seed you are us-
ing.
3. Set seeding rate as explained under “Seeding
Rate,” page 38.
4. Record acremeter readout. Subtract initial
reading from later readings to determine
acres drilled.
5. If your drill has been exposed to the elements
for a period of time with seed in the boxes,
check to make sure the seed in the seed
tubes and cups has not become wet.
6. Pull forward, lower drill and begin seeding.
7. Always lift drill out of the ground when turning
at row ends and for other short-radius turns.
Seeding will stop automatically as drill is
raised.
