OPERATION
Hydraulic Lift System
The Drawbar Till 'N Seed is equipped with a Hydraulic Lift
System to raise and lower the unit in the field.
WARNING
Escaping hydraulic fluid can cause serious
personnel injury. Relieve system pressure before
repairing, adjusting, or disconnecting. Wear
proper hand and eye protection when searching
for leaks. Use cardboard instead of hands (See
Figure 3-6.) Keep all components (cylinders,
hoses, fittings, etc.) in good repair.
Figure 3-6: Hydraulic Leak Detection
The Hydraulic System is not filled with oil and should be
purged of air before transporting and field operations.
1. Tractor must be hitched to the Till 'N Seed Drawbar
and the Hydraulic Hoses connected.
2. Check to make sure the Tractor Hydraulic Reservoir
is full of the manufacturer's recommended oil.
3. If the Transport Locks are engaged, raise the Till 'N
Seed and disengage the Transport Locks. See
Figure 3-5.
4. Slowly raise the Seeder until both Lift Cylinders are
fully extended. Lower and raise the Till 'N Seed to
verify that both Cylinders are working throughout the
stroke. Fully extend the Lift Cylinders and continue to
hold the lever until both Cylinder Rods movement
stops. Raise/Lower Seeder 5 times to purge air from
the system.
5. Do not loosen any Hydraulic Hoses or Fittings.
6. Recheck Tractor Reservoir to make sure it is within
operating limits.
7. Raise the Till 'N Seed and install Transport Locks.
See Figure 3-4.
Lift Circuit approximate oil requirement: 0.9 gallons.
