Introduction
Introduction
• The information contained within this manual was
current at the time of printing. Some parts may change
slightly to assure you of the best performance.
Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new
product owners.
This Overseeder has been designed with care and built
by skilled workers using quality materials. Proper
assembly, maintenance and safe operating practices will
help you get years of satisfactory use from the machine.
• To order a new Operator’s or Parts Manual contact
your authorized dealer. Manuals can also be
downloaded, free-of-charge from our website at
Application
Terminology
“Right” or “Left” as used in this manual is determined by
facing the direction the machine will operate while in use
unless otherwise stated.
The Land Pride OS1548 and OS1572 Overseeders are a
highly versatile and well engineered seed planting
systems designed to open up the soil or turf surface,
precisely meter out seed, and then press the seed into
full soil contact. They may be used for either
Definitions
over-seeding or primary seeding applications. Their
versatility and precision seeding capabilities make them
an excellent choice for applications in wild game food
plots, hunting clubs, resorts, golf courses, sports turf,
ranches, turf farms, game preserves, landscaping,
professional turf maintenance, and municipalities.
NOTE: A special point of information that the
operator must be aware of before continuing.
IMPORTANT: A special point of information related
to its preceding topic. Land Pride’s intention is that
this information should be read and noted before
continuing.
The opening or slitting action is achieved by employing
PTO powered to a four or six foot wide rotary vertically
driven knives on either 2 inch or 3 inch centers. Depth
control of the slitter knives is achieved by either:
1. End-mounted adjustable gauge wheels
2. Front mounted anti-scalping roller attachment
3. Positive height control of the tractors 3-point hitch
draft-links.
Owner Assistance
The Warranty Registration card should be filled out by
the dealer at the time of purchase. This information is
necessary to provide you with quality customer service.
If customer service or repair parts are required contact a
Land Pride dealer. A dealer has trained personnel, repair
parts and equipment needed to service the Overseeder.
Seed distribution and placement is accomplished by
utilization of high capacity water-tight seed boxes with
agitators and seed cups with powdered metal flutes. The
agitators deliver seed to the seed cups which in turn
dispense seed into clear vinyl transfer tubes attached to
an evenly spaced seed distribution manifold. The
distribution manifold uniformly and evenly spreads the
seed across the working profile of the seeder. Actual rate
and metering control is accomplished by either an end
mounted gauge wheels drive or by a rear roller seed box
drive mechanism. Units equipped with the rear roller
drive will be able to achieve a higher germination rate
since this drive also serves as a roller-compactor to help
achieve maximum seed to soil contact.
The parts on your Overseeder have been specially
designed and should only be replaced with genuine Land
Pride parts. Therefore, should your Overseeder require
replacement parts go to your Land Pride Dealer.
Serial Number Plate
For prompt service always use the serial number and
model number when ordering parts from your Land Pride
dealer. Be sure to include your serial and model numbers
in correspondence also. Refer to Figure 1: for the
location of your serial number plate.
An optional spring-tine harrow is available to enhance
seed to soil contact. Also, a precision Slit-seeding
attachment is available to deliver seed directly into the
slits created by the rotary knives. This slit seeder
attachment is not compatible with the spring-tine harrow
attachment.

Maximum PTO driveline Movement During Operation
Figure 1-10
IMPORTANT: Always check driveline maximum and
minimum length during initial set-up, when
connecting to a different tractor and when
alternating between using a quick hitch and a
standard 3-point hitch. More than one driveline may
be required to fit all applications.

Driveline Installation
The tiller driveline is coupled to the tractor shaft with
either push pin couplers, pull collar couplers or a
combination of both and on the implement end with a slip
clutch and pull collar coupler for protection from shock
loads.
IMPORTANT: It is necessary to aligning the tractor’s
PTO shaft level with Overseeder’s PTO shaft when
checking to see if the driveline’s minimum length is
correct. Too long a driveline can damage the tractor,
gearbox and driveline.
Always engage PTO at low engine rpm to minimize
driveline start-up torque. Drivelines with friction
clutches must go through a “run-in” operation prior
to initial use and after long periods of inactivity. See
detailed description of maintaining the driveline.
Check Driveline Minimum Length
Refer to Figure 1-11:
1. Start tractor and slowly engage tractor’s hydraulic
3-point lift to raise the lower arms until the
Overseeder’s driveline shaft is approximately level
with tractor's PTO shaft.
If the Overseeder is to be used on more than one tractor,
an additional PTO shaft may be required - especially if a
quick hitch is used.
2. Slide slip clutch end of driveline over the splined
input shaft of gearbox. Secure with driveline yoke
locking device.
!
IMPORTANT: For easier access to gearbox input
shaft, remove driveline guard at the gearbox.
CAUTION
Tractor PTO shields and guards must be in place at all times
during operation!
3. Slide opposite end of driveline yoke over the tractor’s
splined PTO shaft. Secure with driveline yoke locking
device. Skip to step 4 if driveline fits between tractor
and implement.
!
CAUTION
Do not use a PTO adaptor with a quick hitch. A PTO adapter
will increase the strain on the tractor’s PTO shaft and can
damage the PTO shaft and mower driveline.
IMPORTANT: Some tractors are equipped with
multi-speed PTO ranges. Be certain your tractor ‘s
PTO is set for 540 rpm.
IMPORTANT: Avoid premature driveline

Section 1: Assembly & Set-up
Refer to Figure 1-13:
Refer to Figure 1-12:
The driveline maximum length must, when fully
extended, have a minimum overlap of the profile tubes by
not less than 1/3 the free length with both inner and outer
profile tubes being of equal length.
4. The PTO driveline will require shortening if it is too
long to fit between the tractor and gearbox. Shorten
driveline as follows:
a. Place tractor gear selector in park, shut tractor
engine off, set park brake and remove switch key.
24513
b. Pull driveline apart as shown in Figure 1-12: on
page 13. Attach the outer yoke section to the
tractor shaft and inner yoke section to the cutter
gearbox shaft. Pull on each driveline section to be
sure the universal joints are secured to the shafts.
c. Hold the driveline sections parallel to each other
to determine if they are too long. The inner and
outer shields on each section should end
approximately 1" short of reaching the universal
joint shield on the adjacent section (see “B”

CAUTION
CAUTION
When traveling on public roads whether at night or during the
day, use accessory light and devices for adequate warning to
operators of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state and
local laws.
Always lower the Overseeder to the ground to check seed level
in the seed box and before filling the seed box. This will keep
the rollers from turning while working around them.
1. Always lower the Overseeder to the ground, engage
tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off and remove
key before filling the seed box.
1. This seeder can be transported with a full box of
seed, however; it is best not to do this unless
necessary because the increased weight does
increase the chances for problems on the road.
2. Release lid latch handle and open seed box lid until
over center latch arms have locked in place. Doing
this will keep the lid from falling while filling the box.
2. Select a safe ground travel speed when transporting
from one area to another. Do not exceed 20 miles per
hour travel speed. When traveling on roadways,
transport in such a way that faster moving vehicles
may pass you safely.
3. Fill seed box from the rear while standing on the
ground. Do not step or climb on the rear roller to fill
the seed box. Make sure the rear roller is on the
ground so it cannot turn while filling the box.
3. Reduce tractor ground speed when turning. Leave
enough clearance so the seeder does not contact
obstacles such as buildings, trees or fences.
4. The bag opener (sharp point on top of the baffle
plate) can be used to tear open the seed bags.
5. Maker certain the seed box is filled uniformly to
insure one side dose not run out of product ahead of
the other side.
4. Shift tractor to a lower gear when traveling over
rough or hilly terrain.
6. Close lid by pulling on the handle of the over center
latch arms with one hand while holding the lid up with
the other hand. Lower lid gently while keeping hands
and fingers clear.

How the Seeder Works
General Notes for Field Operations
The following is a brief description of how your
Overseeder works.
Before proceeding with the first time set-up or before
making any adjustments mentioned in this section, make
every effort to obtain and hitch a tractor to the
Overseeder.
The power to drive the seed cups comes from the gauge
wheels or rear roller turning against the ground while
traveling. Power is then transmitted through roller chains
to the seed cups. Seed is metered out of the cups at a
rate proportional to the distance driven. This ensures
that the rate applied in pounds per 1000 square feet or
pounds per acre remains constant as ground speed is
varied.
1. This Overseeder can be transported with a full box of
seeds. It is best not to do this unless necessary
because the increased weight does increase the
chances for problems on the road.
2. Do not exceed 20 miles per hour when transporting.
3. Calibrate your seeder sprocket speed and seed cup
rate adjustment lever based on type of seed you are
using. Calibration information is located on the inside
of your box lid or on page 18.
Cup metering speed can be adjusted to either a high or
low range by changing the speed change sprocket. Also,
the rate seed falls through the seed cups is adjustable
using the seed rate adjustment lever located at the back
of the seeder.
4. Refer to Figure 3-1 on page 18. Make sure the feed
cup door adjustment handle on each cup is set the
same across the Overseeder. Usually in the highest
position.
Metered seed is broadcast onto the ground surface and
into the slits made by the rotor knives. Seeds drops in
front of the rear roller to allow the roller to firm the soil
around the seeds.
5. Never allow anyone to ride on the Overseeder.
6. Maximum seeding speed will vary according to soil
conditions.
7. Check oil level in gearbox and chaincase.
Parking
8. Check that all plugs and caps have been replaced
properly.
The following steps should be done when preparing to
store the Overseeder or unhitching it from the tractor.
See also Storage under the “Maintenance and
information on long term storage of your Overseeder.
9. Be sure all Overseeder knives, bolts and nuts are
tight.
10. Be certain all guards and shields are in place and
secure.
1. Park the Overseeder on a level, solid area.
2. Shut off tractor engine and engage parking brake.
11. Grease PTO shaft and all other grease fittings.
3. Refer to Figure 2-2. Place rear roller stop pin (#1)
and hairpin cotter (#2) in parking position.
12. Clear the area to be over-seeded of rocks, branches
and other foreign objects.
4. Unhitch from tractor.
13. Tall grass and weeds should be mowed before
overseeding.
14. Operate with 540 rpm PTO tractor.
15. At first begin overseeding at a slow forward speed
and shift up until the desired speed is achieved.
16. Overseeder knives will cut better at a faster rotor
speed than at reduced throttle.
17. Do not engage PTO at full throttle.
18. Never back up with Overseeder in the ground.
19. Overseeding should not be done in wet conditions as
soil will stick to the knives.
20. After overseeding the first 50 feet, stop and check to
see that the Overseeder is adjusted properly.
14669
21. Do not make sharp turns or attempt to back up while
Overseeder is in the ground.

Section 2: Operating Instructions
General Operating Instructions
Once you have read the operators manual, properly
installed you Land Pride Overseeder to the tractors
3-point hitch, ran through the Operating Check List, filled
the hopper with seed, and calibrated the unit for proper
seed rate delivery, it’s time to do some serious seeding.
The power to run the horizontal rotor shaft, which is
equipped with the vertically mounted slitter knives, is
provide by the tractors 540 rpm PTO. You should have
already set the desired slitter depth by adjusting the
height of the side-mounted gauge wheels or the front
mounted anti-scalping roller, whichever one your unit is
so equipped with. The only other means of achieving
slitter depth control, if your unit is equipped with the rear
drive roller only, is by maintaining the depth stop control
on the draft-links of your tractors three-point hitch.
The OS1548 and OS1572 have ground driven seed
delivery systems. The power to drive the seed metering
system comes from the forward momentum of the
tractor. As the tractor moves forward the ground driven
rear roller compactor or side mounted gauge wheels
transfer power via chain driven sprockets to the seed
metering system so the seed rate remains constant and
in direct proportion to the distance traveled and is
affected very little by actual ground speed. The most
accurate and productive seed rate applications will
usually be achieved between three and 5 miles per hour.
Seeding should not be attempted in wet or muddy
conditions.
Now that you understand how it works its time to begin
seeding. You should already have removed any large
stones or obstacles from the area you plan to seed. Line
the tractor up for the first pass and choose a tractor gear
selection that will deliver a ground speed of
approximately 3-5mph. Lower the three-point hitch and
seeder slowly to a point approximately six inches off of
the ground. Raise the tractor RPM slightly and engage
PTO. Raise PTO speed to 540 rpm and begin driving
forward slowly at first until you get comfortable with what
you are doing. As you approach the end of the lane you
are seeding slow down and come to a stop. Raise the
Overseeder off of the ground approximately six inches.
With Overseeder raised, line up for your next pass and
repeat the process. Look back often and avoid making
very sharp turns with your Overseeder on the ground if
you expect to develop a uniform seeding pattern. The
more experienced you become the better you will get at
developing beautiful seed plots and beautiful lawns.
Always clean the seeder out and perform all
maintenance prescribed in the Operator’s Manual at the
end of each planting. Never leave seed stored in the
hopper or seed cups for prolonged periods.

determine correct seeding rate and adjustments:
g. Weigh the seed which has been metered out and
divide that weight by three to get the number of
pounds metered by each seed cup. If your weight
is in ounces, divide the weight by 48 to get the
number of pounds metered by each seed cup.
a. Decide whether your drive needs to be set-up for
low range or high range. If necessary, change the
speed change sprocket to accommodate the
correct speed range. refer to Figure 3-2 and
Figure 3-3 on page 19.
h. Next, multiply number of pounds per cup by
number of cups on your seeder to arrive at total
pounds per 1000 sq. ft. or pounds per 1/10 acre.
Refer to Figure 3-1:
IMPORTANT: Use seed rate charts beginning on
Page 20 as a guide. There are many factors which
will affect seeding rates: weight of seed, seed
treatment, soil surface condition and rear roller
slippage. Minor adjustments to the seed rate
adjustment lever may be needed to compensate for
these factors.
i. If calculations are based on 1/10 acre, multiply
total pounds by 10 to arrive at total pounds per
acre.
j. If this figure (total pounds) is different than
desired, then readjust your seed adjustment lever
accordingly.
4. You may want to repeat calibration procedure if
results of your calibration vary greatly from
suggested settings in the chart.
2. Locate seed rate adjustment lever at rear of seeder
and move it to indicator number obtained in the seed
rate charts. For best results, first move lever all the
way to the left. Then move lever to desired setting,
moving from a lower to a higher number.
NOTE: To determine seed rates for seeds not listed
on the charts, compare weight and size to those listed
in the seed rate charts and use a similar setting.
Follow steps 4 and 5 to calibrate seed rate.
• Increase seed rate if seed is lighter than average.
• Decrease seed rate if seed is heavier than average.
3. Complete the following procedure to calibrate
dispersal rate for your specific seed.
IMPORTANT: Remember, field conditions will affect
seeding rates. When seeding, check amount of seed
you are using by noting acres or square feet seeded,
amount of seed added to seeder, and level of seed
in the seed box. You may need to adjust the seeding
rate slightly to compensate for field conditions if you
suspect that you are seeding more or less seed than
desired; and you have accurately calibrated the
seeder for your seed.
a. Place several pounds of seed over three of the
seed cups at the outboard end of the seeder. Do
not allow any of the seed to reach other cups.
b. Pull the seed tubes out of these three drops.
c. Support drive unit off the ground as follows:
• Gauge wheel drive units: Raise and support
drive tire (right tire) off the ground using a jack.
• Rear roller drive units: Raise and support rear

NOTE: Seeding rates will vary greatly with variations
in sizes of the seeds. Although the seeding rates
listed in this manual are based on an average seed
size, we recommend that you test and adjust your
Overseeder using the procedures listed below to help
insure an accurate seeding rate.
NOTE: There is no “range” associated with Small

1. Use seed rate charts on Page 30 to determine
seeding rate for the seed you will be planting.
5. Complete the following procedure to calibrate
dispersal rate for your specific seed.
a. Place several pounds of seed over three of the
seed cups at the outboard end of the Overseeder.
Do not allow any of the seed to reach other cups.
2. Determine which range and drive type the main seed
box is in and then check to make sure the Small
Grass Seeds box drive train is set-up correctly.
b. Pull the seed tubes out of these three drops.
c. Support drive unit off the ground as follows:
Refer to Figure 3-14:

IMPORTANT: Use seed rate charts as a guide.
There are many factors which will affect seeding
rates: seed treatment, weight of seed, surface
condition of seed, tire pressure, tire configuration
and tire or rear roller slippage. Minor adjustments
may be needed to compensate for these factors.
* Seed rates listed in charts for gauge wheel units are based
on Overseeder having 18 x 8.50 x 8 turf tires with 20 psi.
g. Weigh the seed which has been metered out and
divide that weight by three to get the number of
pounds metered by each seed cup. If your weight
is in ounces, divide the weight by 48 to get the
number of pounds metered by each seed cup.
4. See Important Note above. Locate seed rate
adjustment lever at rear of seeder and move it to
indicator number obtained from the seed rate charts.
For best results, first move adjustment lever all the
way to the left. Then move lever to desired setting,
moving from a lower to a higher number.
h. Next, multiply number of pounds per cup by
number of cups on your seeder to arrive at total
pounds per 1000 sq. ft. or pounds per 1/10 acre.
i. If calculations are based on 1/10 acre, multiply
total pounds by 10 to arrive at total pounds per
acre. If this figure (total pounds) is different than
desired, then readjust your seed cup adjustment
lever accordingly.
• Increase seed rate if seed is lighter than average.
• Decrease seed rate if seed is heavier than average.

Rear Roller Assembly
1. Replace roller wheels (#14) and/or add 1/4" spacer
rings (#13) as needed on the left side of the seeder:
Rear Roller Maintenance
Refer to Figure 4-7:
Roller Wheels
Rear roller wheels (#14) should rotate freely over wheel
mounting tube (#15) and have a small amount of lateral
movement between the two end plates (#12). This loose
fit allows for the rollers to turn independently from each
other which keeps debri from locking them up and allows
the seeder to turn corners without pushing dirt in front of
the rollers.
a. Remove roller wheels (#14) from mounting
tube (#15) until you reach the broken roller.
b. Replace broken roller with new roller and reinstall
removed roller wheels.
Spacer Rings
a. Add spacer rings on the end of the mounting tube
Inspection” is almost but not quite filled.
Rear Roller Inspection
Inspect roller wheels daily to make sure they are turning
and not pushing dirt. Your should be able to hold one
roller still while rotating the roller next to it with your hand.
If this cannot be done, then the rollers should be cleaned
of debri that has impacted between them.
2. Replace end cap (#12) and flat washer (#11) on shaft
of mounting tube (#15).
3. Insert shaft of mounting tube (#15) fully into
bearing (#10). Turn bearing eccentric locking collar
clockwise and then tighten set screw in locking collar.
Over time, the roller wheels will wear against each other
and become loose moving back and forth laterally on the
mounting tube. Spacers, 1/4" in width, should be added
on the left end to take up excessive slack and to extend
the life of the roller wheels and mounting tube. Also, the
roller wheels should be inspected for breakage. Broken
rollers should be replaced as soon as possible.
4. Reattach rear roller arm (#16) to seeder panel with
1" clevis pin (#9) and 3/16" cotter pin (#8). Be sure to
bend one leg of cotter pin to secure it in place.
5. Insert stop pin (#7) in seeder bracket and secure with
hairpin cotter (#6).
6. Reattach scrapper bar (#5) to left and right rear roller
arms (#16) with 3/8"-16 x 1 1/4 GR5 hex head cap
screws (#4), flat washers (#3), lock washers (#2) and
hex nuts (#1).
Inspect roller wheels for wear by sliding all rear roller
wheels (#14) and end spacers (#13) to the right and then
measure the gap on the left end. If gap between last end
spacer (#13) and end cap (#12) is 3/8" or greater, then an
additional 1/4" spacer or spacers should be added to the
mounting tube. Never add too many spacers. Too many
spacers will force the roller wheels tight against one
another and won’t allow them to turn independently.
7. Reattach packer chain (#6) or turnbuckle (#7) to rear
roller arm (#16) with remaining hardware.
Rear Roller Disassembly
Disassemble rear roller mounting tube from Overseeder
as follows:
NOTE: During disassembly, set aside all loose
components and hardware in an orderly fashion and
in a safe location for relocating and reassembling.
1. Lower Overseeder and rear roller to ground, shut
tractor off, set park brakes and remove switch key.
12872
2. Disconnect packer chain (#6) or turnbuckle (#7) from
the left hand rear roller arm (#16).
3. Remove 3/8" bolts (#4) and scraper bar (#5) from left
and right rear roller arms (#16).
4. Remove 3/16" cotter pin (#8) and clevis pin (#9).
Lower front of left rear roller arm (#16) to the ground.
5. Loosen set screw in eccentric locking collar of
bearing (#10) and then rotate eccentric locking collar
counterclockwise. This should free the shaft from the
bearing.

Type A Clutches
Driveline Slip Clutches
Clutch Run-In
!
Refer to Figure 4-9 (View - A):
CAUTION
Engage parking brake, disengage PTO, shut off tractor, and
remove key before working on or around the driveline and/or
slip clutch.
1. Using a pencil or other marker, scribe a line across the
exposed edges of the clutch plates and friction disks.
2. Tighten all 4 nuts uniformly until spring load is low
enough that the clutch slips freely with PTO
engaged.
!
CAUTION
23696
Slip clutches that have been in use or have been slipped for only
two or three seconds during run-in may be too hot to touch.
Allow a hot clutch to cool before working on it.
Drive components are protected from shock loads with a
friction slip clutch. The clutch must be capable of
slippage during operation to protect the gearbox,
driveline and other drive train parts.
Friction clutches should be “run-in” prior to initial
operation and after long periods of inactivity to remove
any oxidation that may have accumulated on the friction
surfaces. Repeat “run-in” instructions at the beginning of
each season and when moisture and/or condensation
seizes the inner friction plates.
Type C Clutch Run-In
Figure 4-9
3. Make sure the area is clear of all bystanders and
machine is safe to operate.
Refer to Figure 4-8 to determine which friction clutch
your seeder has. Follow “run-in” instructions on the
following pages for your specific clutch type.
4. Start tractor and engage PTO for 2-3 seconds to
permit slippage of clutch surfaces. Disengage PTO,
then re-engage a second time for 2-3 seconds.
Disengage PTO, shut off tractor and remove key.
Wait for all components to stop before dismounting
from tractor.
5. Inspect clutch and ensure that the scribed markings
made on the clutch plates have changed position.
Slippage has not occurred if any two marks on the
friction disk and plate are still aligned. A clutch that
has not slipped must be disassembled to separate
the friction disk plates. See “Clutch Disassembly,
Inspection & Assembly” below.
Refer to Figure 4-9 (View - B):
Type A Clutch
Type B Clutch
26619
6. If no two marks on the friction disk and plate are still
aligned, Turn all 4 nuts fully back.
Clutch Types
Figure 4-8
7. Allow clutch to cool to ambient temperature before
operating again. Clutch is now ready for use.
8. The clutch should be checked during the first hour of
cutting and periodically each week. An additional set
of scribe marks can be added to check for slippage.
Clutch Disassembly, Inspection & Assembly
If clutch run-in procedure above indicates that one or more
of the friction disks did not slip, then the clutch must be
disassembled into separate friction disks.
IMPORTANT: Before proceeding, secure clutch
firmly in a vise or other clamping device to prevent
injury.

Knife spacing for different geographic soil types, conditions and moisture.
Design guarantees seed to
soil contact
Knives create a slit, the seed is precisely placed in the slit and the roller incorporates seed
to soil contact (for better seed germination).
Easy seed cup and seed box
emptying
Flute is designed to allow easy clean out of material in seed box and seed flutes.
Seed box agitator
Eliminates seed bridging.
Seed cups with metal flutes
Superior metering accuracy by each flute. Powder metal dissipates heat to keep cups
running cool.
