OPERATION
Tractor Preparation/Attaching of 3Pt
Hitch Seeder
1. The Seeder is designed to be used with Free Link
CAT 2, 3; Quick Hitch Coupler CAT 2, 3N, 3. 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 "General Reference and
Specifications" on page 5-1. (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 3Pt 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 a 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 3Pt Free Link or Quick
Hitch 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 Coupler Operation.
Do not allow any bystanders to stand between
the tractor and the implement while backing up to
the implement.
8. Plug the 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.

DANGER
• 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. See "LED Warning Lamps"
on page 4-7.
9. Install Clutch Console. Connect harness 3 Pin
Connector to tractor and 9 Pin Connector to the
Seeder Harness. See "Clutch and Seed Shaft
Sensor Electrical Layout - Optional" on
page 2-18.
10. Raise seeder: Remove Parking Pins from both sides
and relocate to storage position. Raise Parking
Stands, both sides. See Figures 3-2 and 3-4. 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.
