Machine Components - Meridian 405 SLD SEED EXPRESS Operator's Manual

Operator's Manual: 405 SLD Seed Express
Seed can be loaded into the seed tender's
compartments using two methods.
• The seed can be loaded into one of two
compartments from a seed box or other
means.
• The seed tender can also load itself using its
conveyor.
A gas engine, mounted on the frame, powers
the hydraulic pump. The pump operates the
hydraulic motor for the conveyor and the control
cylinders (raise, lower, and rotate the conveyor;
open and close the slide gates).
The center-mounted conveyor transfers seed
from the compartments into a planter or drill.
Slide gates on the compartments control the
flow of seed into the conveyor.
