Ford Series 309 Rear Mounted Drill Planter Operator's Manual
This is the Operator's Manual for the Ford Series 309 Rear Mounted Drill Planter, covering two-row, four-row, and six-row configurations, seed hopper types, seed plate selection, seeding rates, attachments, and seasonal maintenance across 32 pages. This is the original factory document Ford issued to 309 owners and is available as an instant digital download.
About the Ford 309 Planter
The Ford Series 309 was a rear-mounted drill planter designed for 3-point hitch attachment on Ford utility tractors, produced as part of Ford's implement lineup during the 1960s and 1970s. The 309's modular design allowed it to be configured in 2-row, 4-row, or 6-row setups by adding planter units to the toolbar frame — making it adaptable to a range of farm sizes and tractor horsepower without requiring a different base machine. It used a cell-type seed metering mechanism with interchangeable seed plates sized for corn, cotton, peanuts, and other row crops, and the manual includes factory seed charts covering seeding rates across multiple crops. The 309 could be fitted with fertilizer attachments, disc and shovel coverers, marker systems, and a hydraulic cylinder booster kit for operators needing additional downforce on the 3-point linkage in harder soils. Ford's 309, 310, and 320 planters shared design philosophy and many attachment types, though they differed in mounting configuration and frame design. The 309's 3-point rear mounting made it well-suited to smaller acreage operations where the simplicity of a tractor-integrated lift system was preferred over a pull-type frame.
What This Manual Covers
This 32-page manual covers all three row configurations and the complete attachment lineup from initial tractor hookup through field operation, assembly, and seasonal storage. Key sections include:
- Operation — attaching the planter to the tractor; row spacing and planter setup; seed hoppers for corn, cotton, and peanuts; seed plate selection and seeding rate adjustment; seed charts for multiple crops; lubrication; seasonal storage; troubleshooting common planting issues
- Assembly Procedures — two-row planter assembly; four-row planter assembly; six-row planter assembly
- Attachments — fertilizer attachments; disc and shovel coverers; disc and hook marker systems; gauge shoes and press wheels; peanut hopper attachment; hydraulic cylinder booster kit; bed sweep and wheel scraper attachments
Why This Manual Matters
- All three row configurations in one document: The 2-row, 4-row, and 6-row assembly procedures are each documented separately — critical when adding rows to an existing frame or assembling a planter that was disassembled and stored without documentation
- Seed plate and crop chart reference: Matching the correct seed plate to corn, cotton, peanut, or other crops and setting the correct seeding rate requires the factory charts included in this manual — the reference source operators need when changing crops or switching seed varieties between seasons
- Peanut and cotton hopper documentation: The specialty crop hopper attachments — peanut and cotton configurations — are documented here, covering crops that generic corn planter resources don't address
- Hydraulic cylinder booster kit: The optional hydraulic booster for 3-point downforce is documented with installation and operating procedures — important for operators running the 309 in heavier or more compacted soils where standard linkage downforce is insufficient
- Troubleshooting guide: Common planting problems — skips, doubles, uneven spacing, and poor seed furrow closure — are documented with their probable causes, giving operators a diagnostic reference during planting season
- Original factory content: This is the manual Ford issued to 309 owners, carrying manual code SE 6941-E

Fun while it lasts…
Color: Pink, Style: Grunt Sound
Fun while it lasts. Doesn’t last very long. This is our third one and last maybe a few weeks. The part that makes noise comes detached inside which causes to toy to no longer make noise, but also can be dangerous if it comes out.

Great alternative to the grunting pigs!
Color: Pink, Style: Grunt Sound
We go through A LOT of dog toys at my dog based business. The grunting pigs are super cute, but they are also super fragile. It is incredibly easy to dislodge the squeaker. (Grunter?) These are certainly not robust chew toys, but the squeaker is about 30% better at staying put than that of the pigs. It's also smaller, so it's easier for the smaller dogs to play with. These are a new favorite!
Update: August, 2024 I bought an orange hedgehog. Amazon won't let me review that separately so I had to add to my sheep review. The orange hedgehog is only 3 stars. It is made of a harder plastic than the bear and the sheep. It also has a standard squeaker, not the grunting of the bear and sheep. But harder plastic DOES NOT mean that it will withstand an aggressive chewer! If your dog likes to "kill the squeaker" they will be able to do so in minutes! This IS NOT a chew toy! If you are looking for a toy for an aggressive chewer, look at the Orbeez line from Outward Hound. The other thing that makes me less enthusiastic about the orange hedgehog is that the yellow paint started flaking off immediately. I will have to scrub it all off because it looks terrible! The dogs don't care, but their owners sure do! I haven't had that problem with the sheep or the bears. The orange hedgehog is almost like it's from a completely different company!

Great find for my dog!
Color: Hedgehog, Style: Big Squeak Hedgehog
This is a Big squeaking toy And has become a favorite of my dog. He is a big chewer but he won’t chew at this one he just carries it around and plays catch with it. I believe the little spikes keeps him from heavy chewing on it! Great find for us! But it is a loud squeak!

For the love of a dog!
Color: Blue, Style: Tootiez Hedgehog, Color: Blue, Style: Tootiez Hedgehog
Okay, first - this toy is a hoot. When you first get it and hear it's cute grunting/tooting sound, you can't help but grin and think, Yup! That sounds like somebody in here just tooted! Which for some reason always does seem to be a bit funny, doesn't it? And you'll probably find yourself chuckling a little and saying, Oh how cute. After that, the next logical step is you'll introduce the toy to your dog. And then, depending on your dog's particular personality, you may soon discover (as we did) the amazing love/hate relationship a human can develop with a simple dog toy.
We have a 1-yr-old standard poodle whom we named Kenda. And yes, he is named after Joe (for any of you ID fans out there). His official AKC registered name is Lieutenant Kenda, Home Inside Hunter. Corny? No doubt. But it truly seemed an appropriate name for him, because this is the first dog we've ever owned that actually LOVES to play with dog toys and will endlessly hunt them down throughout the house. No toy, however well hidden, stands a chance with this determined toy hunter. As Joe might say, he WILL find you! :) His toys are his friends, and he is fiercely devoted to them.
Enter the adorable little rubber hedgehog with his even more adorable "toot". The moment Kenda laid eyes (or ears?) on this little guy, all other toys were forgotten. It was love at first sight. So much so that within a few hours of him playing with this toy to the exclusion of all others, we decided to give him a name. We call him "Blue" (I know, we're so creative). Blue immediately became Kenda's best friend - or at least his best toy. He played with him constantly. He bit him, he wrestled with him, he chewed on him. He brought Blue to us and, if we were sitting down, very carefully placed this slobbery ball of rubber in our laps, as if asking, Can we play catch with Blue? Huh? Pretty please?? Sometimes we did, sometimes we didn't. On those occasions when we didn't, he would play catch with himself, picking Blue up in his mouth, swinging his head, and tossing him across the kitchen; then running/sliding across the kitchen floor to retrieve him on the other side of the room. In the beginning, if Blue was nowhere in sight (and with dogs, out of sight is usually out of mind), the hubby and I would get a kick out of saying, "Kenda, where's Blue?!" Just for the enormous fun of watching a 55-pound poodle suddenly leap a foot in the air, scramble his legs mid-air like Fred Flintstone getting his car started, then half running/half sliding across the kitchen hardwood floor in a desperate effort to find his beloved Blue. Oh, how we entertained ourselves in those early days watching Kenda with his Blue. And through it all, through every bite, squeeze, toss, push, throw, and chew of this toy.......the toot. The grunt. Okay, let's call it what it really sounds like, folks: a FART, okay? There, I've said it. It sounds like your grandpa just passed gas - bigtime. Funny? At first, yes. Hilarious. But a thousand times a day? Over and over and over? While you're trying to talk on the phone? While you're trying to have conversation with each other over coffee at the end of the day? Sometimes for an hour NON-STOP? Well, let's just say the humor of it all began to elude us a bit. And therein lies our love/hate relationship with this adorable little toy.
We thought we'd died and gone to heaven one day when Blue stopped tooting. Turns out Kenda had chewed on him so much his tooter (located rather anatomically correctly in his tushie) had fallen out. Or rather IN, since it was now in Blue's tummy. Poor Blue, he couldn't make noise anymore, and although Kenda kept playing with him you could tell he was confused as to why his little buddy had fallen silent and wouldn't "talk" to him anymore. And as much as the hubby and I were enjoying the tooting reprieve, we couldn't take it. By the third silent day, I could almost feel the invisible hands of Amazon coaxing me toward my computer, gently urging me to buy another Blue. But I resisted, folks. I did NOT buy another Blue. I bought TWO more Blues! One for now, and one for that possible future day when this Blue, too, falls silent. Why? Because ... well, because it's BLUE! He's practically a member of the family now. The dog loves Blue, and we love the dog. I guess it's that simple.
My final word on this dog toy? It's adorable. It's well made and will hold up to a ton of play and chewing. His tooter may not survive as long; I guess that remains to be seen. And if your dog is anything like mine, well then your sanity may take a hit as well. But if your dog loves his little hedgehog buddy as ours does, and if you love your dog (and you know you do!), then you might decide your sanity is worth the risk.
Two thumbs way, WAY up!
P.S. Blue now has a friend. We just bought the pink sheep. Kenda is in 7th heaven. Our house sounds like a retirement home after a chili bean supper. And yes, we named him "Pink". I told you - we are nothing if not creative.
