OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

Tractor Preparation

The Landoll 5110NG Native Grass Drill requires a Tractor
with Category II, III or IIIN three-point hitch and adequate
weight.
1. Before attaching the Grain Drill, prepare the tractor
as follows:
2. Inflate the rear tractor tires equally and add ballast
according to the tractor operator's manual.
3. To safely raise or lower the three-point drill the
Tractor must weigh more that the drill. Weight should
be properly distributed to insure the front wheels
maintain contact with the ground. Refer to the Tractor
operating manual and weights as needed.

Grain Drill Preparation

1. Prior to operating the 5110NG Native Grass Drill,
read and understand the operator's manual and all
decals.
2. Inspect the machine thoroughly for good operating
condition, working parts move freely, bolts are tight,
all pins installed, etc.
3. Replace worn or missing parts.
4. When the machine is new, check the bolt tightness
after a few hours of operation. Tighten any loose nuts
or bolts. Check the lift wheel lug nuts daily.
5. Check the lift wheel tire inflation. Follow the tire
manufacturer's recommended pressures listed on the
sidewall of the tires.
6. Check opener scrapers for proper adjustment to the
disc blades (See "Opener Scraper Adjustment" on
page 4-37.)
7. Check that all safety decals and reflectors are
correctly located and legible. Replace if damaged.
Verify that all warning lights are clearly visible and
functioning correctly.
8. Check all drive chains for proper tension.
9. Rotate each ground drive wheel to verify all seed
meters are working and turning freely.
