Tractor Preparation
The Sure Stand Seeder is available as a Pull-Type Hitch
or 3-PT Hitch version.
Tractor Preparation/Attaching of
3-PT Hitch Seeder
1. The Seeder is designed to be used with Category 2 or
3 Free Link; Category 2, 3N or 3 Quick Hitch Coupler.
See Figure 3-1. Be sure Tractor's Hitch Capacity is
not exceeded by the Laden Mass of the Seeder.
Refer to Tractor Operator's Manual.
2. Be sure Tractor is properly ballasted. A minimum 25%
of Tractor and Equipment Laden Mass must be on
Tractor Front Wheels in transport position to maintain
stability. Calculate the Loaded Seeder Mass. See
"General Reference and Specifications" on
page 5-1. (Seeder weight plus the seed box capacity
with desired seed.) Refer to Tractor Operator's
Manual.
3. Check the Tractor tire inflation levels to ensure that
they are properly inflated for the additional Laden
Seeder Mass. Refer to the Tractor Operator's Manual.
Be sure not to over ballast and exceed Tractor Tire
Capacity.
4. Set Tractor 3-PT Lower Links to allow lateral
(torsional) float. Refer to Tractor Operator's
Manual. If left rigid, your Brillion Seeder may not
follow ground contours resulting in a poor
germination.
5. Set Lift Rod length long enough to ensure Seeder can
float downward in the case of a furrow or waterway.
Lower Links should be the same height, leveling your
Brillion Seeder side to side. Fine adjustments may
need to be made after hookup is completed. Refer to
the Tractor Operator's Manual.
6. Attach Seeder to the Tractor's 3-PT Free Link or
Quick Hitch Coupler using the appropriate size pins
and bushings. Be sure to use the hardware provided
and is in good working order. See Figure 3-1.
7. Refer to the Tractor Operator's Manual for Quick
Hitch Coupler Operation.
