OPERATION

Agitator Seed Box Rate

The agitator boxes are set by means of the control
handles on the rear of each box. Loosen the
wing nuts to move handles to desired setting and
re-tighten nuts. See Figure 3-12.
A seed rate chart is located inside the seed box cover. As
with the front box, calibration as shown in the next section
will provide the most accurate seeding rate. Blade
agitators are standard on the seeders. Optional brush
agitators and blade agitators are also available.
Cage agitators are provided with you seeder for
versatility. Brush agitators are also available to order for
specific varieties.
Cage agitators can be used to plant cereal grains such

as wheat, oats, rye, barley and others. However, Brillion
does not recommend it as a harvestable crop because
the seed will only be placed in the top 1/4" to 1/2" of soil
which is too shallow for a harvestable crop.
IMPORTANT
If the agitator brush kit has been installed, always
raise the seeder fully before backing up. Brushes will
be seriously damaged if they are rotated backwards.

Do Not use mixtures that contain small seeds
such as clover, alfalfa, timothy with brush
agitators. Brushes will be destroyed.
