Operator's Manual: 240 FF Basic Seed Express
A gas engine, mounted on the frame, powers
the hydraulic pump. The pump operates the
hydraulic motor for the conveyor belt and the
cylinder to raise and lower the conveyor tube.
The conveyor can swing 180° to transfer seed
from the compartments into a planter or drill.
Slide gates on the compartments control the
flow of product into the conveyor.
