Tractor Preparation for Attaching
3-PT Hitch Till 'N Seed
1. The Brillion Till 'N Seed is designed to be pulled with
Category 2 or 3 Free Link, and 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
"Specifications" in Chapter 5. (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, the Brillion Till 'N Seed may not
follow ground contours resulting in 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 the
Brillion Till 'N Seed side to side. Fine adjustments may
need to be made after hookup is completed. Refer to
the Tractor Operator's Manual.
6. Attach the Till 'N Seed 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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Do not allow any bystanders to stand between the
tractor and the machine while backing up to the
machine.
8. Connect the 7-Pin Connector to Tractor Outlet,
routing cable by avoiding pinch points.
•
Make sure the tractor has a good clean
receptacle, free of dirt and corrosion.
•
Make sure the 7-Pin Connector is inserted ALL
the way in. With tighter fitting pins, operator may
think the Connector is all the way in, but really
isn't.
•
Make sure the tractor receptacle cover latches
over the keyway on the 7-Pin Connector to hold
the Connector in place.
•
If an operator plugs in the 7-Pin Connector, but
the lights do not seem to work right, check the
above items to make sure there is a good
connection with the 7-Pin Connector.
9. Raise the Till 'N Seed. Remove Rear Roller Locking
Pins from both sides and place them in the Toolbox.
Raise Parking Stands, both sides. See Figures 3-2
and 3-3. Adjust or lock tractor sway stabilizers if
equipped, centering the Seeder with the Tractor.
Refer to the Tractor Operator's Manual.
10. Lower the Till 'N Seed, if necessary level Seeder side
to side (laterally) by adjusting Lift Rod length. Level
Seeder front to back by adjusting the Tractor Upper
Link length as required. Refer to the Tractor
Operator's Manual.
