Three-Point Hitch
The 5110NG may be equipped with a 3 point hitch versus
a pull hitch. The 3 point hitch is a standard width CAT III
hitch and will attach to any tractor with a CAT III hitch or
quick hitch.
Drills equipped with the 3 point hitch will be equipped
with drive wheels at each end of the main frame. The
drive wheels will be used to gauge the depth of the grain
drill openers when in the field. For initial adjustment, the
bottom of the 4x 4 toolbar should be approximately 20"
above the ground
See Figure
ground conditions can vary this measurement. Raise or
lower the seeding depth by extending/retracting the
ratchet jack assembly on each drive wheel

ratchet jacks and set them the same so the unit depth will
be even.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Some drills will drive the seed boxes from both drive
wheels, other drills will only drive from one end. It is
important to keep the drive wheels in contact with the
ground while seeding. Failure to maintain ground contact
will result in seeding skips. Raise the drill when turning to
prevent side loading and damage to the openers and
drive wheels.
