Safety Suggestions
GENERAL The safety of the operator was one of
the prime considerations in the minds of
John Deere engineers when these planting
attachments were designed. Shielding, simple
adjustments, and other safety features were built
into the pJanting at- tachment wherever
possible. However, investigation of farm
accidents show that careless use of farm
machinery causes nearly aJl farm accidents. You
can make your farm a safer place to live and work
if you observe the safety sug- gestions given,
Study these suggestions carefully and insist that
they be followed by those working with you and
for you. Finally, remem ber this An accide nt
is us uall y caused by someone's carelessne.ns,
neglect, oi over- sight. OPERATION Be careful
when operating the planting attachment, to avoid
injury to the operator and assistants. Always
lower the planting attachment to the ground
when not in use. Whenever possible, perform
service work and adjustments with the planting
at- tachment on the ground. If the olanting
attachment must be in a raised posi- tion while
working on or near it, support it securely with
blocks or with parking stands. Permit only one
personthe operatoron the tractor platform while
tractor, bedder and planting at- tachment are in
operation. Never ride or permit others to ride
on the drawbar of the tractor or on the bedder or
planting attach- ment.
Never clean, lubricate, or adjust a machine that
is in motion. TRANSPORTING When transporting the
bedder and planting attach- ment on a oad or
highway at night or during the day, use accessory
lights and devices for adequate warning to
operators of other vehicles. In this regard,
check local governmental regulations. Various
safety lights and de v ice s are a v ailable fro
m your J o hn Deere deaJer. Be careful when
operating on hillsides because the tractor may
tip sideways if it strikes a hole, ditch, or
other irregularity. HYDRAULIC OIL Escaping
f!uio under pressure can have sufficient force to
penetrate the skin, causing serious personal
injury. Before disconnecting lines, be sure to
relieve all pressure. Before applying pressure to
the system, be sure all connections are tight and
that lines, pipes and hoses are not damaged.
Fluid escaping from a very smaJl hole can be
almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or
wood, rather than hands, to search for suspected
leaks. If injured by escaping ffuio see a doctor
at once Serious infection or reaction can develop
if proper medical treatment is not aoministered
immediately. AGRICULTURAL CHEMICALS Agricultural
chemicals can be dangerous. Improper selection or
use can injure persons, animals, plants, soils,
or other property. BE SAFE handle and apply it
with care. Follow instructions of the chemical
man- ufacturer.

• GENERAL
• The John Deere 60 Planting Attachments are de-
  signed for use with the 884, 885, 886 and 888
  Inte- gral Bed de rs h aving ei ther a 4 - x 7-
  inch or 5 - x 7-inch (102 mm x 178 mm or 127 mm x
  178 mm) bedder bar.
• These planting attachments are gauge-wheel-driv-
  en with fiber glass hoppers. The bottom-load
  hopper allows replacement of seed plates without
  emptying the hopper.
• These planting attachments have short
  straight-line tubes to prevent bunching of seed,
  and shovel cov- ers to assure uniform depth of
  soil over the seed.
• The planting attachments may be used for surface
  planting, bed planting, or furrow planting
  depending on the type of planting units used.
• The planting attachment and bedder bar are fully
  tractor-carried when lifted but ride on gauge
  wheels when wo rking, giving a mple fle x ibility
  to foIlow ground contours.
• PREPARING THE BEDDER
• Refer to the bedder operator's manual for
  instruc- tions on preparing the bedder.
• PREPARING THE PLANTING ATTACHMENT
• Adjusting Row Width
• These planting attachments are adjustable for
  36-, 38-, and 40-inch (91 cm, 97 cm and 102 cm)
  row spacings.
• Set tractor wheels to conform to the row spacing.

• Bolts and Set Screws
• Before starting to work with a new planting
  attach- ment or one which has been stored, check
  to see that all bolts and set screws are tight
  and all colter pins are spread to keep them from
  falling out.
• Lubrication
• Be sure planting attachment has been properly lu-
  bricated. See lubrication chart on pages 32 and
  33.
• PREPARING THE TRACTOR
• For complete operating instructions concerning
  the tractor, refer to the tractor operator's
  manual.
• Rear Wheel Tread
• Set tractor wheel tread (center fo center of
  tires) as nearly as possible twice the distance
  of the row width. For example for 40-inch (102
  cm) row widths, set the tractor wheel tread at 80
  inches (203 cm).
• Front Wheel Tread
• On wide front-end tractors, set front wheels to
  con- form to rear wheel setting.
• Tire Pressure
• Consult your tractor operator's manual for front
  and rear tire pressure.

ADJUSTING PLANTER FOR FIELD Shovel Coverers
Drive-Gauge Wheels
The drivegauge wheels provide both drive for the
planter and uniform height of the planter frame
while planting. Refer to the bedder operator's
manual for operation and assembly. Depth of
Planting Depth of planting is controlled by the
position of the bedder bar. The position of the
bedder bar is regulated by the tractor hydraulic
system or by the gauge wheels on the bedder.
Refer to your bedder operator's manual. Depth of
planting may also be controlled by raising and
lowering the subsoiler on the planting attach-
ments . (See pages 32 and 33.) Raising and
Lowering Use the tractor rockshaft control lever
to raise or lower the planting attachments.
The shovel sleeve is slotted at the upper end to
al- low shovel to trip when an obstruction is
encoun- tered, preventing damage to the shovel
and planting attachment. The sJot in the sleeve
also provides suc- tion adjustment for the shovel.
When the bedder is equipped with gauge wheels,
position the rockshaft control lever when
planting to release hydraulic pressure from the
rockshaft. This will allow lhe rockshaft to vary
its up and down posi- tion automatically as the
planting attachment follows ground contours.
Coverer depth and width can be adjusted with the
clamp. Loosen set screws, raise. lower, or slide
cov erers in or out to desired position and
tighten set screws.
NOTE When opera ting in the lield, lower the
planting attachment only wnen the tractor is
moving forward. rois will prevent the seed tubes
from clog- ging in mosf so// cont/ifions.
Down pressure on coverer frame can be adusteo by
the nut on the plunger rod. Compress spring on
plunger rod to increase down pressure. Relax
spring to decrease down pressure.
Leveling the Bedder or Toolbar Adjust the
3-point hitch both laterally and vertically
according to the tractor operator's manual. The
tool- bar must be parallel to the ground, and the
seed hoppers on the planting units must be
perpendicular to the ground when the toolbar is
lowered to the op- erating position.
The shovel coverer is designed to swing rearward
when the Coverer strikes an obstruction. If this
should happen, reposition coverer as shown and
tighten ad- justing cap screw to 35 foot- pounds
(48 Nm) of torque.

SELECTING SEED PLATES
The selection of seed plates is one of the most
im- portant steps in preparing the planting
attachments for the field. There is a large
variety of John Deere seed plates available in
various cell sizes and number of cells As growing
conditions change from year to year, the size of
the seed may vary. Therefore, it is quite likely
that different seed plates may be required to
plant the same variety of seed from year to
year. There are two ways to select seed plates.
One is to follow the recommendation of the seed
supplier and the other is to take a sample of the
seed to be planted to a John Deere deale and iet
him recom- mend the seed plates.
In either case, the accuracy of the seed plate
se- lected should be checked when installed in
your planting attachments and operated at the
planting speed you intend to travel. The best
check is to olant a short distance at the desired
planting speed and then stop and dig up the seeds
to determine the ac- tual planting rate.
For a given spacing and travel speed, a 2-cell
seed plate re vo ves slower than a 16-cell seed
plate, resulting in Detter cell file, It is
therefore recommend- ed that a 24-cell seed plate
be used in dll cases when available. The
following is a list of the most popular COrn
plates available with 16 and 2 cells.

the op- erating characteristics of the plate
metering unit. The operating band illustrates
how the hopper seed metering unit performs with
regard to the de- sired population (indicated by
the horizontal line). The width of lhe band is
due to various sizes and sh apes of seeds. The
band w idth increase s at speeds above the
maximum speeds shown in the following rate
charts. The preferred cell fill of the seed plate
decreases when the planter is operated above the
maximum speed. Best results are obtained when

sprockets are available. See your John Deere
dealer. NOTE. Soybeans vary greatly in size from
about 1,B00 seeds/lb. io about 3,Ti00 seeds/Ib.).
Consequently, planting rates can vary widely. The
above chart was developed using uniform soybeans
sized to 2,600 seeds/lb. and should be used only
as a guide for initial planter settings. Actual
rates must be checked in the lield and planter
settings changed accordingly. Sprocket
combinations directly alfect the number of
revolutions per minute (rpm) of the seed plate.
II the seed plate rpm is increased by changing
the sprocket combination, your planting speed may
have to be re- duced accordingly to keep seed
plate rpm within a satisfactory range. After
determining the correct sprocket combination for
your desired planting rate. 6e certain to plant
at a speed no greater than the maximum speed
shown for your sprocket combination. This will
help insure accurate planting rales.
