OPERATION
General Operation
1. The minimum horsepower requirement is typically
150 hp. This will vary widely due to speed, moisture,
and types of soils. Local dealers can help in making
recommendations for your areas.
2. 3 Point Hitch Lift Capacity requirement is 7500
pounds minimum.
3. Operating speed is typically 4.5-6 mph. Excessive
speed can result in undesirable germination, seeder
bouncing, or other unpredictable results. Reduce
speed in rocky conditions to prevent wheel breakage.
