  • Operate the tractor forward at a speed of 2.5 to 4.5 km/hr.
  • During work, avoid turning corners while the implement is working in soil. Always raise the implement in order to reverse or change direction.

CAUTION: Always lower the SEED DRILL to the ground before filling and checking seed level in the seed box. This will keep the rollers from turning while working around them.
