CHEMICALS AND PESTICIDES
SUGGESTED PROTECTIVE GEAR
1. HARD HAT: Should be washable, have brim to collect chemicals. Replace headband
if contaminated. Wash entire unit daily.
2. GOGGLES, FACE SHIELD: Protect eyes, face. Goggles should fit snuggly, comfortably.
Shield should cover entire face.
3. RESPIRATOR: To prevent inhaling chemical dust vapors. Use canisters specified for
chemical. Replace canisters as specified.
4. GLOVES: Rubber with long sleeves so cuff can be made. Unlined is best ---- cloth
linings are hard to wash and decontaminate.
5. APRON / SMOCK: Protects clothing from splashes, spills. Smock gives more body
protection. Wash or replace as needed.
6. COVERALLS: Wear as outer layer for easy removal, if contaminated. Tight knit, closable
at neck, wrists. Wash when contaminated.
7. RUBBER BOOTS: Protect against spills on your regular boots or shoes. Important
because leather is hard to decontaminate.
NOTE: DIRTY, CONTAMINATED OR IMPROPERLY WORN PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
AND EQUIPMENT MAY BE AS BAD AS NO SAFETY GEAR AT ALL. FOLLOW
THESE LAUNDERING SUGGESTIONS.
Change all clothing daily.
Keep clothing contaminated (worn while handling, applying) with pesticides separate from
other family laundry. Keep it in a plastic bag if it is not washed immediately.
Use hot water (140_) and fill machine to normal full level. DO NOT OVERLOAD
CLOTHING.
Use recommended amount of a heavy--duty phosphate type detergent.
Dry clothing immediately after washing preferably in an automatic clothes dryer.
Pesticides and chemicals, can enter your body several ways, so it is essential to
wear protective barriers when handling them. The most critical areas needing
protection are your eyes, skin and lungs.
Don’t smoke or eat until after thoroughly washing with soap and water.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
Warning: High pressure fluid flow can penetrate skin. If injured by
escaping hydraulic fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious
infection or reaction can develop if proper treatment is not
administered immediately.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands
and body from high pressure fluids.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected
into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or
gangrene may result.
Read the section ‘‘HYDRAULIC SAFETY’’ on pages O28--29 in this manual carefully.
A single or dual hydraulic marker system may be added to the drill. Included in the dual marker
system is a sequencing valve that will let the markers alternately raise and lower.
Inspect the hydraulic system for tell--tale leaks and loose fittings. Tighten if needed. When
assembling your hydraulic system, if JIC / O--Ring fittings and hoses are to be used, the use of
a tape or liquid sealer is not necessary.
Use oil recommended by the tractor manufacturer. See ‘HYDRAULIC CYLINDER SERVICE
MANUAL’ for additional information.
HITCHING THE DRILL TO THE TRACTOR
Warning: Do not allow any person to stand between the tractor and
drill while backing into position. Sudden loss of control
could cause serious injury or death to a person caught
between the tractor and the drill. Tell your helper to wait
until you give him the signal that the tractor is in park or
neutral and that the hand brake is set and the engine is
shut off.
The Kuhn Krause tractor mounted drill can be installed on category II or III Standard 3--Point
hitches, and Category II, III or III Narrow Quick Hitches. The 15 and 20 foot drills are set for
Category II Quick Hitches at the factory.

When the seed is metered, the feeds for each seed turn the same number of revolutions and
the same volume of seed is metered for both the large and small wheat seeds. They both fill
the bushel volume, but the seed from the small bag weighs 60 pounds, while the seed from the
large bag weighs only 45 pounds. This is the weight (pounds per acre) you are drilling.
The difference in pounds per acre drilled is due to the difference in seed. The rate chart is based
on a standard weight per bushel which varies by states.
HOW TO CHECK QUANTITIES DRILLED
The general method for checking quantities drilled is as follows:
1. Make all adjustments as shown on the grain rate charts.
2. Fill the box level--full in the field; then pull the drill a short distance to settle the seed. Refill
the box so that it is exactly level--full.
3. Drill a calculated one acre.
4. Carefully weigh the seed required to fill the box back to level full.
5. Compare the weight of seed required to fill the box with the weight shown in the seed chart
that the drill was set for in Step 1 above.
6. Adjust the grain index setting accordingly to compensate for any variation between the rate
desired and the amount actually drilled.
METHOD TWO
A second method to calibrate the drill is
to raise the drill out of the ground and
rotate the seed cup shaft the number of
revolutions shown in the chart for 1/100
of an acre.
1. Determine the sprocket setting and
shaft index setting from the seed charts
for the desired seeding rate.
2. Set the drill accordingly.
3. Find the opener spacing and the
sprocket setting in the chart at right.
4. Find the number of seed shaft
revolutions to plant 1/100 of an acre
is given in the right hand column of the
chart.
5. Rotate the seed shaft.
6. Divide the desired seeding rate by 100 and compare it to the seed collected from each row.
7. Adjust the grain index setting to compensate for any variation and repeat the test until the
desired quantity is obtained.
EXAMPLE: You have a 7.5” spacing drill and you want to drill wheat at a rate of 63 lbs. /
acre from the seed chart you select sprocket setting 2 and index setting 4--1/2.
Set the shaft index at 4--1/2. From the chart you find that for 7.5” spacing and sprocket setting
2 you need to rotate the seed shaft 24.5 times to go1/100th of an acre. The seed collected
from one cup should weigh .63 lbs. (63/100)
27.
28. O14
Before putting seed in the tanks, turn the drive wheel(s) in the direction of travel. If feeds stick,
check for foreign objects in the feeds. Because the quantity drilled will vary according to size
and variety of grain being drilled, it may be necessary to set the feed cups with a larger or smaller
opening than shown in the charts. See ‘How To Check Quantities Drilled’ pages O12--O13.
1. To open the cups, turn the adjustment knob and lock until the outside edge of the lock nut
‘A’ aligns with the number on the shaft that corresponds to the rate desired in the seed chart.
2. Tighten the knob and lock nut and thumb screw.
3. To close the cups, turn the knob and lock nut until the edge of the lock nut ‘A’ aligns with
the number desired. Tighten the knob and lock nut in this position -- tighten thumb screw.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT HIT THE SHAFT TO CLOSE THE CUPS. DAMAGE TO THE END
OF THE SHAFT MAY OCCUR. ALSO, THE CUPS MAY SLIP ON THE END
OF THE SHAFT AND CAUSE ERRATIC SEEDING.
4. Drive the drill forward to rotate the shaft. As the grain clears the cup, the spring ‘C’ will close
it down to the proper setting.
For a more accurate check on the feed cup opening, measure the distance between the cup body
and the edge of the rotor assembly ‘B’. The measurement ‘B’ should equal the index setting
number times 1/8”.
29.
30. O16
NOTE: When sowing large or irregular seeds or when using dry powdered inoculant, regularly
check the flow of seeds when sowing to ensure that blockage or skipping is not occurring.
The rear gate may also be opened completely to allow the tanks to be easily cleaned.
DRILLING ROW CROPS
Soybeans, milo, and many other row crops can be planted with your grain drill.
Furrow openers that are not being used do not have to be removed, but may be left on the drill
to work the soil, or tied up to prevent unnecessary wear.
All grain openings not being used should be covered.
To obtain proper drill settings for row crop planting, multiply the amount per acre to be planted
by one of the following conversion factors for the row spacing indicated. Apply this amount to
the rate charts to obtain the shaft index and sprocket combination for the grain drives.

EXAMPLE: Suppose you have a 10” spacing drill and want to plant milo in 30” rows at a rate
of 5 pound per acre.
1. Multiply 5 x 3 = 15 pounds per acre.
2. In the rate chart for milo, 15 pounds per acre is found in range 1, index setting 4. These
are the settings you should use.

DRIVE / GAUGE WHEELS POSITIONING
The drive / gauge wheels may be moved on the drill frame to fit certain row crop spacing or crop
bed widths.
The drive wheel may be moved within the limits of the extra long jackshaft.
1. Loosen the U--Bolts holding the drive wheel to the tool bar.
2. Loosen the collars holding the jackshaft in position.
3. Move the drive wheel to the necessary position.
4. Align the drive chain and sprockets.
5. Re--tighten the U--Bolts and collars.
The gauge wheel may be repositioned simply by loosening the U--Bolts, moving the wheel
assembly and re--tightening the U--Bolts.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRASS SEED ATTACHMENT
1. Before operating the drill or adding seed, be sure that the seed shafts turn freely.
2. If the shaft is difficult to turn, loosen the moving parts with a penetrating oil (i.e. WD40). It
may be necessary to remove the drive chain.
3. If using a treated seed, turn the seed shaft whenever the drill has been standing for an hour
or more.
SETTING THE SEED RATE
1. See pages O24 through O27 in the Operating Section of this manual.
2. Use the appropriate seed chart included with these instructions.
3. If a particular seed is not shown on the charts, select a seed of comparable weight and
size in determining the index setting.
PLANTING SEED MIXTURES
1. To plant a grass seed mixture,
select the shaft index setting
for seed to be planted that
corresponds to the desired
quantity of each variety.
2. Add the settings together and
use this number to set the
seeding rate.
3. Check the quantity drilled, and
adjust the seeding rate as
necessary.
ZEROING THE SEED CUP
1. Set the seed index to the number 6 setting.
2. Referring to the illustration to the right,
measure the distance from the end of the
flute (do not include the collar) to the side
of the seed cup. This distance should be
1/2 inch. If not, loosen both shaft collars
and move cup as necessary.
3. Install the seed chart in a convenient yet
protected location.
DROP TUBE INSTALLATION
1. Connect the drop tubes to each seed cup with
the hose retainers.
2. Route the tubes to locate the seed as desired and cut
the tubes to the necessary length. Hose clamps have
been provided to clip the tube to the rear bolt on the opener
casting if desired.
NOTE: Do not angle the drop tube less than 30_ from
horizontal. The seed may accumulate in the flatter portions
of the tubes and create plugging, and erratic seeding.

SERVICING
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
All nuts should be checked and tightened during and after the first 1/2 day of operation, and
periodically thereafter. Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure, and check the wheel
bolts until they are firmly seated. Hydraulic hoses should be checked for wear and pinched
areas and be replaced if necessary.
LUBRICATION
The initial lubrication of all grease fittings will assure long life and satisfactory
performance from the grain drill. Minimum lubrication is required on the Kuhn Krause
grain drill. Use a multi--purpose type grease at all grease zerk locations after each 24
hours of use.
WHEEL BEARINGS
Grease wheel bearings every 24 hours of use. Check for excessive end play each time
bearings are greased. Once a year, clean and repack wheel bearings with EP#2 grease.
Replace seals each time bearings are removed. Replace any worn or damaged parts. After
repacking, replace hub with seal and rear bearing already assembled. Use light oil on seal
surface and use extreme care when pushing seal over the spindle. Install the outer bearing,
flat washer, and slotted nut. Tighten nut while turning hub until there is slight resistance to
rotation. Then back off nut from 1 to 2 slots until hub turns freely without end play. Secure
nut with clinched cotter pin.
HYDRAULIC SAFETY (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY)
If the hydraulic system has never been used, stored over a long period of time, or it has been
disassembled for any reason, unpin the rod ends of the cylinders and support the cylinders so
that the rod ends will clear frame members when fully extended. Back the tractor to the front
of the grain drill and connect the hydraulic hoses. Check the tractor hydraulic reservoir and make
sure it is full of the tractor manufacturer’s recommended oil. If you are sure the drill hydraulic
hose connections are tight, begin filling the system by extending and retracting the cylinders.
Hold the control lever open and pause at the end of each stroke to bleed air from the system.
Continue the cycles until the cylinders respond with immediate solid actuation. When you are
sure the system is free of air, pin the rod ends of the cylinders to the drill cylinder lugs. The
system will hold approximately 4 Quarts / 3.8 Liters of oil.
Warning: Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing
serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines. Tighten all connections before
applying pressure.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard.
Protect hands and body from high pressure
fluids.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor
immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin
must be surgically removed within a few hours
or gangrene may result.

STORAGE
Clean the drill thoroughly and inspect all parts for wear or breakage. Order replacement parts
required at this time. By ordering parts at the end of the season, they will be available before
the next season, thus avoiding needless delays.
GRAIN BOX After the grain tubes have been detached, remove any remaining seed from
the grain box.
HYDRAULICS Coat cylinder rods with rust preventative. Check to be sure that hydraulic hose
couplers are stored on top of the frame tube and not left laying on the ground.
OPENERS Coat discs with oil or grease.
TUBES Remove and clean the grain tubes and store inside the grain box until the next
drilling season.
CHAINS Remove chains and clean with diesel fuel. Oil thoroughly before storing.
Caution: Be careful when using diesel fuel so that it does not ignite.
Use only in a well ventilated area away from sparks and
flame.
REPAIR PARTS
The Parts Section of this manual will show a breakdown of assemblies, location of parts, and
part numbers. Krause parts were developed and tested for these units, therefore, it is
recommended that Krause replacement parts be used.
Caution: If replace hydraulic hose, use only hose that meets or
exceeds 3,000 PSI working pressure.
Caution: Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause
serious injury or death.
Always maintain the correct tire pressure.
Do not inflate the tires
above the recommended
pressure. Inspect tires
and wheels daily. Do
not operate with low
pressure, cuts, bubbles,
damaged rims or missing
lug bolts and nuts.

Drive steadily. Prepare good seed bed.
Bunching or skipping
Not driving straight, overlapping, or
leaving too wide a space between
seeded strips across field
Use care in driving to have space
between seeded strips the same width as
opener spacing on the drill. Use
markers.
Improper adjustment of furrow openers
resulting in openers not penetrating low
spots or bouncing over rough ground
Readjust openers
Discs not revolving
Pressure not adjusted properly so furrow
opener can float over high and low spots
in field
Adjust pressure on furrow openers so
stop bolt on pressure rod is about 4”
above pressure arm swivel
Bad bearing Replace bearing
Seed cup rotation is too rapid Slow drive speed, widen flute spacing
Excessive seed cracking Flute closed too narrow for seed Slow drive speed, widen flute spacingg
Rear gate set too tight See feed cup rear gate on page O15
Using trashy seed Use clean seed
