EEDER
The Command Seeder is a primary full width seeder ideal for seeding a wide variety of
grasses in lawns, golf courses, parks, sports fields and hay fields. Seeds are precisely
metered and placed at the ideal depth for proper seed germination.
Engineered for tractors ranging from 25 to 70 HP, the Command Seeder has a working
width of 74". The seeder features a 6.7 cu. ft. capacity hopper equipped with 10 high
precision metering seed cups made of a special nylon/fiberglass composite that allows
them to work in both extremely warm or cold climates. The seed cups are placed 7"
apart to allow a uniform seed distribution across the full width of the machine.
The forward movement of the front cultipacker turns the chain transmission on the right
side of the machine which engages the metering cups and agitator inside the hopper.
This allows the machine to spread seed only while it is in movement and therefore
avoids any seed going to waste.
The front cultipacker evens out the surface and prepares the seed bed while the smaller
rear cultipacker helps incorporate the seed into the ground and gently applies pressure
through the 2 side springs to firm the surface after the seed has been placed.
CAUTION: Our machines are designed considering safety as the most important
aspect and are the safest available in today's market. Unfortunately, human
carelessness can override the safety features built into our machines. Injury
prevention and work safety, aside from the features on our seeders, are very
much due to the responsible use of the equipment. It must always be operated
prudently following with great care, the safety instructions laid out in this manual.
1. The use of this equipment is subject to certain hazards which cannot be prevented
by mechanical means or product design. All operators of this equipment must read
and understand this entire manual, paying particular attention to safety and
operating instructions, prior to using.
2. Do not operate the tractor and implement when you are tired, sick or when using
medication.
3. Keep all helpers and bystanders at least 50 feet from the machine. Only properly
trained people should operate this machine.
4. The majority of accidents involve operators being knocked off the tractor by low

to occur with machines that are loaned or rented to someone who has not read the
operator's manual and is not familiar with the implement.
