Important Safety Information
Look for Safety Symbol
The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a
potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra
safety precaution must be taken. When you see this
symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that
follows it. In addition to design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are
dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and
proper training of personnel involved in the operation,
transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
Be Aware of Signal Words
Signal words designate a degree or level of hazard
seriousness.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
This signal word is limited to the most extreme situations,
typically for machine components that, for functional
purposes, cannot be guarded.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when
guards are removed. It may also be used to alert against
unsafe practices.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe
practices.
Be Familiar with Safety Decals
▲ Read and understand “Safety Decals” on page 6,
thoroughly.
▲ Read all instructions noted on the decals.
▲ Keep decals clean. Replace damaged, faded and illegible
decals.
Prepare for Emergencies
▲ Be prepared if a fire starts
▲ Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy.
▲ Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance, hospital
and fire department near phone.

Wear Protective Equipment
▲ Wear protective clothing and equipment.
▲ Cartridge-type respirator approved for treatment dust
unless label specifies another type of respirator.
▲ Wear clothing and equipment appropriate for the job.
Avoid loose-fitting clothing.
▲ Do not wear contaminated clothing. Wash protective
clothing and equipment with soap and water after each
use. Personal clothing must be laundered separately from
household articles.
▲ Because prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause
hearing impairment or hearing loss, wear suitable
hearing protection such as earmuffs or earplugs.
▲ Because operating equipment safely requires your full
attention, avoid wearing entertainment headphones while
operating machinery.

Agricultural chemicals can be dangerous. Improper use
can seriously injure persons, animals, plants, soil and
property.
▲ Read and follow chemical manufacturer’s instructions.
▲ Wear protective clothing.
▲ Handle all chemicals with care.
▲ Avoid inhaling smoke from any type of chemical fire.
▲ Store or dispose of unused chemicals as specified by
chemical manufacturer.

Use A Safety Chain
▲ Use a safety chain to help control drawn machinery
should it separate from tractor drawbar.
▲ Use a chain with a strength rating equal to or greater than
the gross weight of towed machinery.
▲ Attach chain to tractor drawbar support or other specified
anchor location. Allow only enough slack in chain to
permit turning.
▲ Replace chain if any links or end fittings are broken,
stretched or damaged.
▲ Do not use safety chain for towing.
Use Safety Lights and Devices
Slow moving tractors and towed implements can create a
hazard when driven on public roads. They are difficult to
see, especially at night.
▲ Use flashing warning lights and turn signals whenever
driving on public roads.
▲ Use lights and devices provided with the drill.
Keep Riders Off Machinery
Riders obstruct the operator’s view. Riders could be
struck by foreign objects or thrown from the machine.
▲ Never allow children to operate equipment.
▲ Keep all bystanders away from machine during operation.
Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for drill is 20 mph (30 km/h).
Some rough terrains require a slower speed. Sudden
braking can cause a towed load to swerve and upset.
▲ Install transport lock and disengage the lock-out hub
before transport.
▲ Do not exceed 20 mph (30 km/h). Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate control of steering and
stopping. Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with
brakes.
▲ Comply with national, regional and local laws.
▲ Follow your tractor manual recommendations for
maximum hitch loads. Insufficient weight on tractor
steering wheels will result in loss of control.
▲ Carry reflectors or flags to mark drill in case of
breakdown on the road.
▲ Keep clear of obstructions when transporting. Refer to
transport dimensions under “Specifications and
Capacities” on page 58.

Operating Instructions
This section covers general operating procedures.
It assumes that setup items have been completed.
Experience, machine familiarity and the following
information will lead to efficient operation and good
working habits. Always operate farm machinery with
safety in mind.
General Description
Field operations are controlled by a tractor cab hydraulic
lever. When openers are lowered, a mechanical clutch
engages, and the left end wheel drives the seed meter
shaft.
Seed and fertilizer meters operate at a rate proportional
to ground speed, as set by sprockets and/or rate
handles, based on the rate charts, and calibration.
Seeding depth and furrow coverage are controlled by drill
down pressure and row unit setup.
Pre-Start Checklist
❑ Lubricate the drill as indicated under Lubrication,
“Maintenance and Lubrication” on page 42.
❑ Check the tires for proper inflation according to
“Appendix A Reference Information” on page 58.
❑ Check for worn or damaged parts and leaks.
Repair or replace before going to the field.
❑ Check all nuts, bolts and screws. Tighten bolts as
specified on “Torque Values Chart” on page 60
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing
serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use a piece of paper or
cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for suspected leaks.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when
working with hydraulic systems. If an accident occurs, seek
immediate medical attention from a physician familiar with
this type of injury.

Raising Openers for Transport
Opener sub-frame is on a dedicated hydraulic circuit.
The openers raise and lower as a group, controlled from
a tractor cab lever.
The following instructions presume that the openers are
lowered, and need to be raised for transport.
Opener Pivot Stop
Loss of Control Hazard:
Failure of the hydraulic cylinder during transport causes the
openers to drop suddenly, which could lead to serious road
accidents, injury or death. To prevent an accident, always
install the pivot-stop pin in the transport-lock position before
transporting the drill.
Refer to Figure 6
1. Hitch the drill to a suitable tractor. See “Hitching” on
page 14.
2. If markers are installed, verify that markers are
folded and secured with transport pins. See “Secure
Markers” on page 18. If not, secure them during lift
operations to secure pivot stop for transport.
1
2
Marker Pinch/Crush/Sharp Object Hazards:
Secure markers before setting pivot pin. Moving markers can
pinch at mounts crush under arms. Marker disks are sharp.
If not secured by transport pins, markers will fold and unfold
during lift and lower operations.
3
3. Retract the opener lift cylinder to fully raise the
openers. Put the tractor circuit control in Neutral to
hold cylinder position.

4. Note which lettered (A-E) down-pressure pin hole 1
was previously in use. This is likely to be the same
hole used when the drill next plants.
5. Remove the pin from the down-pressure adjustment
hole.
Negative Tongue Weight Hazard:
Raising openers on an unhitched drill causes the drill tongue
to rise suddenly, which could cause serious injury or death. Be
certain that drill is hitched securely to your tractor drawbar
and the safety chain is securely attached to tractor before
raising openers.

Transport
Towing the drill at high speeds or with a vehicle that is not
heavy enough could lead to loss of vehicle control. Loss of
vehicle control could lead to serious road accidents, injury
and death. To reduce the hazard:
▲ Do not exceed 20 mph (30 km/h).
▲ Do not tow a drill that, when fully loaded, weighs more
than 1.5 times the weight of the towing vehicle.
In the following table, multiply the total drill weight by
0.67 (23) to determine minimum tractor weight.

❑ Markers (page 18): Folded and locked.
❑ Bystanders: Check that no one is in the way before
moving. Do not allow anyone to ride on the drill.
❑ Road Rules: Comply with all national, regional and
local laws when transporting on public roads.
Opener Operation
Opener sub-frame is on a hydraulic circuit that is shared
with markers if markers are installed. The openers raise
and lower as a group, controlled from a tractor cab lever.
If markers are installed, and unlocked, each marker side
unfolds and refolds, alternating left-to-right, with each
opener lift and lower cycle.
Lowering and Raising Openers
Crushing Hazard:
You will be seriously injured or killed if you are
caught between raising openers and drill frame.
Always stop tractor engine, set parking brake, and
remove key before adjusting or servicing openers.
Keep bystanders well away during drill operation.
The following instructions presume that the openers are
raised and locked up for transport.
Refer to Figure 11
1. Determine the down-pressure pin hole , (lettered
A-E), to be used for the current conditions. If you
have no preference developed, plan to use hole “E”.
See page 32 for further information.
1
2. If markers are installed, verify that markers are
folded and secured with transport pins. See “Secure
Markers” on page 18. If not, secure them during lift
operations to secure pivot stop for transport.
Refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11
3. With the drill hitched to a suitable tractor, retract the
lift cylinder slightly to free the pin 2 in its transport
lock hole 3 position.
4. Put the tractor circuit control in neutral to hold
cylinder position.
Negative Tongue Weight Hazard:
Raising openers on unfolded, unhitched drill will
cause drill tongue to rise suddenly, which could
cause serious injury or death. Be certain that drill
is hitched securely to your tractor drawbar and
the safety chain is securely attached to tractor
before raising openers and unfolding drill.
Marker Pinch/Crush/Sharp Object Hazards:
Secure markers before setting pivot pin. Moving
markers can pinch at mounts and crush under
marker arms. Marker disks are sharp. If not
secured by transport pins, markers will fold and
unfold during lift and lower operations.
5. Remove the pin from the transport lock position and
transfer it to the desired down-pressure adjustment
hole. Secure the pin.
2
6. Extend the circuit to lower the openers.
7. When the lift cylinder has reached the end of its
travel, set the tractor circuit lever to Neutral to hold it
there. Do not set the circuit to Float, or down
pressure is significantly reduced.

Loading Materials
To determine the weight of a fully loaded drill, see
“Weights for Tractor Requirements” on page 19. Use
this weight when checking tractor capability.
Figure 11
Setting Down-Pressure Pin
16652
The drill must be hitched for seed loading.
Load slightly more material than needed, because
consumption rates can vary between compartments
even though the furrow rates are identical.
Main Seed Box Loading
1. Check that all meter doors are positioned for the
seed size, and not set for clean-out. See Seed Rate
Manual. If loading prior to transport, set them to
position 1 (smallest seed).
2. Install or remove optional seed plugs as desired for
the row spacing planned. See “Seed Tube Plug
(Small Seeds)” on page 56.
3. If loading prior to transport, and calibration has not
yet been done, set Seed Rate Handles to 0. At 0,
and with the doors at 1, no seed can leak during
transport.
4. On 1300F (fertilizer-capable) drill models:
• Check that any offset box dividers are set to the
desired compartment ratio. See “Offset Box
Divider” on page 55.
• Check that the seed/fertilizer flap is set as
desired (separate compartments, or all seed). See
“Fertilizer Box Operation” on page 23.
• If seeding only from the forward (seed)
compartment, flip the spill flap to the rear to
prevent seed from entering the fertilizer
compartment. See “Fertilizer Box Operation” on
page 23.
5. Take all necessary materials safety precautions if the
seed is treated.
6. Load seed evenly into seed boxes.
7. To reduce wear, remove main shaft drive chains for
small seed boxes.
2. Take all necessary materials safety precautions if the
seed is treated.
3. Load seed evenly into seed boxes.
4. To reduce wear, remove main shaft drive chains for
main seed boxes.
Loading Fertilizer
Load fertilizer after transport if possible. Some spillage
can occur through meters during transport, even with the
drive system disengaged.
1. Check that fertilizer clean-out door is closed and all
latches are secure.
2. Check that any offset box dividers are set to the
desired compartment ratio. See “Offset Box
Divider” on page 55.
3. Check that the seed/fertilizer flap is set as desired.
See “Fertilizer Box Operation” on page 23.
4. Flip the spill flap to the front to prevent fertilizer from
entering the seed compartment. See “Fertilizer Box

Setting Materials Rates
Seeding and application rates are independent for all
boxes (changing rates on one does not affect the others).
Rate setting steps, and rate calibration, are different for
each box. See Seed Rate Manual (175-157B).
All of the boxes use fluted-feed meters. Actual rates
frequently vary from chart rates due to variations in
materials, conditions and application speed. Calibration
is strongly encouraged. It is also wise to monitor material
consumption in the field, both to confirm the calibration,
and to catch any stoppages or other malfunctions.
Calibration is described in the rate setting topics of the
Adjustments section.
Note: No meters operate if the lock-out hub is
disengaged. Be sure to engage the hub after
transport and calibration.
Initial Seeding Depth
Refer to Figure 12
1. Set opener seeding depth by adjusting press-wheel
height 1 . To adjust, first raise openers slightly, then
lift and slide T handles 2 on top of openers. Adjust
all press wheels to the same height. T handles
adjust at 14 inch (6.4 mm) seeding depth change per
minimum handle step.
F
2
B
• For more shallow seeding, slide T handles
forward F toward implement.
• For deeper seeding, slide T handles rearward B
away from implement.
2. While seeding, remember:
• Keep the top of the opener frames level with the
ground for consistent seeding depth.
• Raise openers before turning. Never back up or
turn sharply with openers in the ground. Doing so
will plug openers and may damage equipment.
• Check periodically for plugged openers and
hoses.

Marker Operation (Option)
Prepare Markers for Field Use
If markers are not to be used for field operations, leave
the pins in their transport lock positions. There is no
harm in operating the lift circuit with markers locked up.
1. Set the lift circuit remote to Float to relieve pressure.
Set the circuit to Neutral to prevent movement. Shut
off the tractor.
Transport/Crush/Sharp Object Hazards:
Verify that the lift circuit is in Float or Neutral before removing
transport pins. Keep all persons well clear of markers during
lift/lower marker fold/unfold operations. Un-pinned markers
fold and unfold when the lift circuit is extended or retracted.
Markers have multiple pinch points. Lowering arms can crush.
Marker disks are sharp.
Refer to Figure 21
2. At each marker, remove the transport pin 1 from the
(outboard) locking holes.
3. Move the pin to the (inboard) storage holes 2 , and
secure with hairpin cotter.
If marker fold and unfold speeds are known to be
satisfactory, the markers are now ready for field use.
To adjust marker speed, see page 45.
Marker Field Operations
Markers share a common remote circuit with the lift
cylinder. Marker cylinders are controlled by an automatic
sequence valve that restricts oil flow to one marker at a
time.
1
2
• Whenever a lift operation is performed, an extended
marker folds.
• Whenever a lower operation is performed, a folded
marker extends.
You may need to allow extra time for both opener and
marker operations to complete, compared to just raising
and lowering openers.
Figure 21
Marker Transport Pin Release
36274
Operating One Side Only
Leave the unused side in transport lock.
Operate the lift circuit twice for each raise and lower
cycle.
Two Sides Out
it is possible to both deliberately and unintentionally
deploy markers on both sides.
At the start of lower/unfold, briefly reverse the level for
the lift circuit, then resume lower (before the lowering
marker is fully raised). This causes the other side to
enter unfold as well.
If two markers are out unintentionally, perform a fold.
Upon the next unfold, only one side deploys.
Folding with Both Sides Out
Perform two complete lower/raise operations. The
markers fold one side at a time. Install lock pins as
appropriate for the next movement.

Acremeter Operation
The acremetera counts shaft rotations whenever the
shaft is rotating - normally this is only with the drill
lowered and in motion. The meter is programmed to
display rotations as acres or hectares, when using all
rows, factory-specified tires and tire inflations.
Note: Unusual conditions and/or non-standard row
spacings can cause the acremeter tally to vary
somewhat from actual acres planted.

Field Operations
Final Field Checklist
❑ Drill hitched and chained. See page 14.
❑ Seed and fertilizer rates set per charts and
calibration. See Seed Rate Manual.
❑ Lockout hub engaged. See page 18.
Note: If re-using calibrated rates from a prior planting,
make sure that meter scales are correctly set, and
not still at zero for transport. make sure chains are
in place for boxes to be used.
❑ Record acremeter reading if acreage monitoring is
desired.
❑ Down-pressure adjustment pin configured. See
page 20.
❑ One or both markers released from transport lock
(if installed and to be used). See page 26.
❑ Materials loaded. See page 21.
1. Pull the raised drill into starting position at the first
pass.
2. Lower the drill (page 20).
3. If markers are installed and to be used, verify that
the desired marker side is deployed, otherwise raise
and lower a second time.
4. Pull forward at the intended planting speed.
Optimum planting speed depends on conditions, and
is typically between 5 to 8 mph (8 to 13 km/h).
If openers are bouncing, or not operating at a
consistent penetration depth, reduce speed.
5. Stop shortly into the first pass and check drill level.
Both drill frame and opener frames need to be
parallel to the ground for most consistent results.
Also check the seed furrow in between the openers
and press wheels, and make sure that seed is being
delivered, and being covered.
6. At the end of each pass, retract the tractor circuit for
opener lift. Seeding stops automatically when the
openers are raised.
Field Results Risk:
For consistent opener down pressure, fully extend the cylinder
every time you lower the openers.
Equipment Damage Risk:
Do not make sharp turns with openers in the ground.
Equipment Damage Risk:
Never back up with openers in the ground. Seed tube plugging
and equipment damage is likely.
Note: Some row spacings have unequal numbers of row
units served by each box compartment. The
compartments with more rows run out of material
first.
7. Check material consumption to ensure that it is
being used at expected rates, and that you don’t run
out.
8. Check opener level and planting depth, which can
change as the drill empties and becomes lighter.
9. At the conclusion of planting, raise the openers and
lock them up by moving the down-force adjustment
pin back to the transport lock hole (page 17).
10. If substantial quantities of materials remain, consider
performing a clean-out prior to transport (page 29),
to make a safer load, and reduce wear on the tires.

5. Wash out the seed box with high pressure water.
It is not necessary to operate the seed meter drive shaft
for clean-out. With the Seed Rate set to zero, nothing
moves inside the seed cups; however, an inspection of
the flutes for excess wear and damage does require
shaft rotation.
Set the Seed Rate Handles to 100 and disengage the
lock-out hub. With openers lowered to engage the clutch,
the seed meter jackshaft can be slowly turned with the
calibration crank, while another person inspects the
flutes from the open seed boxes.
Fertilizer Box Clean-Out
After applying fertilizer, clean drill boxes as soon as
possible. Fertilizers often contain chemicals corrosive to
metal.
Refer to Figure 24
With a small scoop or can, remove as much fertilizer as
possible from drill boxes.
Clean-out releases material across the entire length of a
section box. Have collection equipment prepared.
Release all clean-out latches on a drill section, and open
clean-out door. Leave clean-out door open until after
washout.
Refer to Figure 25
Wash inside of drill boxes with water under high
pressure. To aid clean out, lift vinyl dew shield and spray
into fertilizer trays (with clean-out door open).
Let drill boxes dry before closing clean-out doors.

Small Seeds Box Clean-Out
1. Open lid of each box and scoop out as much seed as
possible.
2. To recover remaining seed, place a collection tarp
under the small seeds tubes at the openers.
3. Raise drill.
4. Set seed rate handles to 100.
5. Rotate calibration crank or end wheel until no seed
flows.
6. If a vacuum cleaner is available, remove any residual
seed from top of meters.
Parking
Following these steps when parking for less than 36
hours. For longer periods, see Storage, the next topic.
1. Fold and lock both markers (page 26, if markers
installed and used).
2. Position drill on a level, solid area.
3. Remove jack from storage location on top of tongue
and pin it on post on the top of the tongue as shown
on page 14. Extend jack until weight of tongue is on
jack. Leave tractor hitched for the moment.
4. Lower openers and reduce hydraulic circuit pressure
to zero (Float circuit).
Negative Tongue Weight Hazard:
This drill has a negative tongue weight when openers are
raised. Lower openers and remove hydraulic pressure before
unhitching the drill in the unfolded position. Unhitching with
the openers raised will result in sudden elevation of the
tongue, causing injury or death.
5. Unplug drill hydraulic hoses and electrical lines from
tractor.
Use caution when removing the hitch pin. Slight tongue
elevation may occur, even with openers and jack lowered.
6. Remove hitch pin first, then safety chain from tractor
drawbar.
Storage
Store the drill where children do not play. If possible,
store it inside for longer life.
1. Plug or cap seed delivery and fertilizer tubes to
prevent pest entry.
2. Unpin the rod end of the lift cylinder. Fully retract the
cylinder to prevent rust.
3. Perform the drill Parking checklist.
4. Lubricate the drill at all points listed under
“Lubrication” on page 48.
5. Check all bolts, pins, fittings and hoses. Tighten,
repair or replace parts as needed.
6. Check all moving parts for wear or damage. Make
notes of any parts needing repair before the next
season.
7. Use touch-up paint to cover scratches, chips and
worn areas to prevent rust.

Adjustments
Planting Depth
Setting nominal planting depth, and achieving it
consistently, is affected by multiple adjustable drill
functions, from greatest to least effect they are:
To get full performance from your drill, you need an
understanding of all component operations, and many
provide adjustments for optimal field results. Even if
planting conditions rarely change, some adjustment
items need periodic attention due to normal wear.
The 1300 and 1300F have double-disk openers with
depth-controlling press wheels mounted on floating
opener frames. Opener bodies are staggered for easy
soil flow. All openers pivot on a common axis to maintain
consistent depth as the opener frames follow contours. A
spring provides the down pressure necessary for opener
double disks to open a seed furrow. The spring allows
openers to float down into depressions and up over
obstructions. Individual openers can be adjusted to
account for tire tracks.
Adjustment
• Opener Depth (Press Wheel Height)
• Opener Frame Down-Force,
• Row Unit Down Pressure (Spring),
• Opener Height, and;
• Disk Blade Adjustments (as blades wear).
Seed and Fertilizer Rate
Details are found in the Seed Rate Manual (175-157B).
Materials are applied by fluted feed meters driven by the
left end wheel. Independent mechanisms main seed,

Opener Frame Down-Force
To properly adjust seeding depth, you need an
understanding of how the opener frame, opener springs,
disks and press wheels work. The opener frame
adjustment affects all rows at once.
Refer to Figure 26 and Figure 27
The openers are mounted on a pivoting tube 1 .
A hydraulic cylinder mounted on a floating lug controls
the openers. Springs on the opener bodies provide down
pressure for the opener disks to cut a seed furrow. An
adjustable pivot-stop pin 2 limits the rotation of the
floating lug and thereby controls spring length and down
pressure on all openers.
3
Changing the position of the pivot-stop pin changes
opener down-pressure across the drill. You can also
change the spring length or mounting height of individual
openers, such as in tire tracks.
4
Press wheels are mounted on the opener bodies behind
the opener disks, and perform two functions:
• They close the furrow and firm the seed bed. To
provide consistent seed firming, the press wheels are
free to move down from their normal operating
position. This maintains pressing action even if the
opener arm lifts at obstructions.
• The press wheels control opener depth. The higher
the press wheels run, the deeper seed is placed.

Figure 26
Down-Pressure Decal
818827C
Spring Down Pressure–All Openers
The amount of down pressure needed for the opener
disks to penetrate the soil varies with field conditions.
The objective in selecting a pivot-stop pin hole, and a
press wheel height, is to achieve the desired planting
depth while keeping the drill frame and the row unit
frames level with the ground.
Note: The setting of the pivot-stop pin 2 interacts with
the setting of the press wheel height. When
adjusting one, recheck the other.
2
To increase or decrease all-rows spring down pressure:
1. Raise the drill (to free the pin).
2. Move the pivot-stop pin 2 .
The holes 3 in the floating lug are lettered:
A provides the greatest down pressure and
E provides the least.
Figure 27
Adjusting Down-Pressure Pin

As the pin is moved to hole 4 for transport, keep records
of what hole is optimal for fields and conditions worked.
Note: To maintain consistent opener down pressure, fully
extend the hydraulic cylinder each time you lower
the openers.

2. Remove the bolt from the upper hole 1 .
3. Reposition the arm at the lower hole 2 , and secure
with bolt.
Note: No spring tension or position adjustment is
required. The pivot holes are designed for neutral
effect on spring tension (the bolt at the top end of
the spring uses a hole that depends on spring
length, and not opener height.)

Row Unit Down Pressure (Spring)
For planting in tire tracks, and no-till conditions, you can
increase spring pressure on individual or on all openers.
Adjust the spring in conjunction with the subframe
down-force, and opener height, to keep the top of the row
unit parallel to the ground.

Adjusting pressure at the springs for all rows is not
recommended. Use the opener frame pivot pin
(page 32).
Refer to Figure 31 and Figure 32
To increase spring pressure:
1. Loosen jam nut 1 at lower end of opener spring.
Figure 31
Row Unit Spring Tension
2. Tighten flange against spring tension.
Note: Each 14 inch adjustment adds about 13 pounds of
force at opener disk (approximately 9 kg per cm).
Do not tighten nut more than one inch (2.5 cm).
3. After adjusting, lock flange nut in place with jam nut.

Disk Blade Adjustments
Opener disc angle and stagger is not adjustable, but
disc-to-disc spacing is, and may need attention as discs
experience normal wear. Spacers must be reset when
blades are replaced.
Refer to Figure 33
The ideal spacing causes the blades to be in contact for
about one inch. If you insert two pieces of paper between
the blades, the gap between them should be
0 to 1.75 inch (0 to 4.4 cm).
If the contact region is significantly larger or smaller
(or there is no contact at all), it needs to be adjusted by
moving one or more spacer washers. If the contact
region varies with blade rotation, one or both blades is
likely bent and in need of replacement.

Maintenance and Lubrication
General Information
Proper servicing and maintenance is the key to long
implement life. With careful and systematic inspection,
you can avoid costly maintenance, downtime and repair.
Always turn off and remove the tractor key before making
any adjustments or performing any maintenance.
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed under a
falling implement. Always have frame sufficiently blocked up
when working on, and particularly under implement.
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to
penetrate the skin. Check all hydraulic lines and fittings before
applying pressure. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can
be almost invisible. Use paper or cardboard, not body parts,
and wear heavy gloves to check for suspected leaks. If an
accident occurs, seek immediate medical attention from a
physician familiar with this type of injury.
After using drill for several hours, check all bolts to be
sure they are tight.
1. Securely block drill before working on it.
2. Lubricate areas listed under “Lubrication” on
page 48.
3. Clean any fittings that do not take grease.
4. Inflate tires as specified. See “Appendix A
Reference Information” on page 58.
5. Inspect hydraulic hoses for cuts, cracks and aging.
Check fittings for evidence of leaks.
6. Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety
decals. Order new decals from your Great Plains
dealer. See “Safety Decals” on page 6.

Maintenance
Bleeding Hydraulics
To function properly, the hydraulics must be free of air. If
hydraulics have not been bled, they will operate with
jerky, uneven motions and could cause wings to drop
rapidly during folding or unfolding. If hydraulics were not
bled during initial implement setup or if you replace a
part in hydraulic system during the life of the drill,
complete the following procedures.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing
serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use a piece of paper or
cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for suspected leaks.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when
working with hydraulic systems. If an accident occurs, seek
immediate medical attention from a physician familiar with
this type of injury.
Negative Tongue Weight Hazard:
Raising openers on unfolded, unhitched drill will cause drill
tongue to rise suddenly, which could cause serious injury or
death. Be certain that drill is hitched securely to your tractor
drawbar and the safety chain is securely attached to tractor
before raising openers or unfolding drill.
Bleed only at:
JIC (Joint Industry Conference, 37 flare) or
NPT (National Pipe Thread, tapered thread) fittings.
Never bleed at:
ORB (O-Ring Boss) or
QD (Quick Disconnect) fittings.
Check hydraulic fluid level in tractor reservoir and fill to
proper level. Add fluid to system as needed.
Hydraulic System Capacity
System capacity for the lift (only) cylinder system is:
0.45 gallon (1.7 liters).
Capacity for lift plus markers is:
0.67 gallon (2.5 liters)

Bleeding Lift and Marker Hydraulics
To function properly, the hydraulics must be free of air.
With air in the system, the hydraulics will move in jerky,
uneven motions. If you install or replace a hydraulic
component, follow these steps.
1. Check the fluid level in the tractor hydraulic reservoir.
Bleeding the hydraulics with a low fluid level will draw
air into the system.

Crushing and Sharp Object Hazards:
Keep all persons well clear of markers during lift/lower
marker fold/unfold operations. Un-pinned markers fold and
unfold when the lift circuit is extended or retracted. Markers
have multiple pinch points. Lowering arms can crush. Marker
disks are sharp.
2. If markers are installed, disconnect the rod ends of
both cylinders and lay the markers on the ground.
Support the cylinders so that the rod ends are free of
obstructions.
Refer to Figure 40
3. Lower the openers to the ground. Unpin the rod end
of the cylinder from the floating lug. Wire, block up, or
otherwise safely support the cylinder so the rod will
not contact anything when fully extended.
4. Operate the lift circuit to retract the lift cylinder.
If markers are installed, this will also retract one
marker cylinder.
5. Loosen a JIC or NPT connection between the hoses
and fittings of:
• lift cylinder base end (cylinder retracted)
• marker cylinder base end (cylinder retracted)

end with them extended (loosening rod end
connection).
6. With the tractor idling, slowly work the tractor remote
lever as if extending the lift cylinder. As oil seeps
from a fitting, stop extension and tighten each hose
connection.
7. Continue working the lever until the lift cylinder and
active marker cylinder rods are completely extended.
8. Loosen a JIC or NPT connection between the hoses
and
• lift cylinder rod-end fitting
• marker cylinder rod end
9. With the tractor idling, slowly work the tractor remote
lever in the opposite direction as if retracting the lift
cylinder. As oil seeps from a fitting, stop retraction
and tighten each hose connection.
10. If markers are installed, repeat step 4 through step 9
for the other marker side.

Marker Speed Adjustment
Refer to Figure 41
Adjust folding speed for dual markers with hex
adjustment screws on sequence valve body. There is an
adjustment screw for raising speed 1 and one for
lowering speed 2 . You can identify adjustment screws
by markings stamped in the valve body.
Turn adjustment screws clockwise to decrease folding
speed and counterclockwise to increase folding speed.
With tractor idling at normal operating speed, adjust
marker folding to a safe speed. Excessive folding speed
could damage markers and void the warranty.
Crushing and Sharp Object Hazards:
Keep all persons well clear of markers during lift/lower
marker fold/unfold operations. Unpinned markers fold and
unfold when the lift circuit is extended or retracted. Markers
have multiple pinch points. Lowering arms can crush. Marker
disks are sharp.
S
2
After adjusting folding speed, tighten jam nuts on hex
adjustment screws to hold settings.

Marker Shear Bolt
Refer to Figure 42
If a marker gets caught or hits an obstruction, it is
designed to fail a Grade 5 shear bolt 31 at the fold, pivot
on a pin, and swing back. If the bolt shears, chances are
the washers and lock nut will be lost as well.

32 803-011C NUT LOCK 5/16-18 PLT
33 804-010C WASHER FLAT 5/16 USS PLT
Install the replacement bolt from implement front.
Equipment Damage Risk:
Using a lower Grade bolt can result in nuisance shears.
Using a higher Grade bolt can result in machine damage.
Using lower strength washers can result in machine damage.
Using a plain nut can result in non-shear arm swings as the
nut loosens.
If exact replacement parts are not immediately available,
temporarily substitute a metric M8 Class 8.8 bolt, heavy
duty washers and lock nut. If a lock nut is not available,
insert a split lock washer in between the nut and the rear
flat washer.

Marker Grease Seal Cap Check
If grease-seal cap for marker-disk-hub bearings is
damaged or missing, disassemble and clean hub.
Repack with grease and install a new seal or grease cap.

Maintenance and Lubrication
46
Chain Maintenance
Inspect and lubricate chains regularly. The slack of new
chains tends to increase during the first few hours of
operation due to seating.
1
All chains are #40 roller chains.
Chain Slack
Check slack within the first 8 hours of operation and
tighten idlers as necessary.
2
Refer to Figure 43, which, for clarity, greatly
exaggerates slack, and omits the idlers.
1. Measure the span 1 for allowable slack:
Locate the longest span of each chain (usually the
span which does not run through the idlers). The
ideal slack is between 2% and 4% of the span.
For example:
A slack of 1 cm is appropriate for a 30 cm span.
Figure 43
Measuring Chain Slack
27264
Figure 44
Chain Clip Orientation
26482
2. Measure the current slack 2 :
Acting at a right angle to the chain span at the center
of the span, deflect the chain in both directions with a
force of about 9 pounds (4 kg). The slack is the
distance of the movement.
3. Adjust the idlers for ideal slack.
Whenever mounting a chain, make sure the clip at the
removable link is oriented to minimize snags.
Refer to Figure 44
Install clip with open end facing away from direction of
chain travel (shown by gray arrows in chain routing
diagrams).

Installing Drill Hydraulics
Older production of the model 1300 and 1300F did not
include drill hydraulics. These older drills require a
hydraulic cylinder with:
• a 312 or 4inch (8.9 to 10.2 cm) bore,
• an 8inch (20.3 cm) stroke and;
• a 2014inch (51.4 cm) pin-to-pin retracted length.
A cylinder, hoses and fittings are available through your
Great Plains dealer. For ordering information, see
“Hydraulic Cylinder Kit” on page 57.
If hydraulics have not been installed, follow these steps.
Refer to Figure 50
1. Mount the cylinder base end over the lug on the drill
tongue. Pin it in position.
2. If the cylinder hoses are already attached and the
assembly is fully charged with hydraulic fluid, skip to
step 7.
Figure 50
Opener Lift Cylinder
16649
3. Install elbow fittings in the cylinder ports.
4. Connect the female end of the hydraulic hoses to the
fittings.
5. Route the hoses along the drill tongue and through
the hose holder.
6. Perform the hydraulic bleed per the instructions on
page 43.
7. Connect and pin the rod end clevis to the floating lug
on the opener frame.
8. Secure all pins with cotter keys, hairpin clips or other
means.
