Transporting
WARNING!!! The 30 and 40 ft. Single Disc Drill
without rear wheel assist have a large amount of
up force on the front hitch with the row units off
of the ground. Tow only with a tractor or truck
with sufficient weight to counter the up force.
Make sure toolbar lockup valve is in the closed
position to transport. If SDD is equipped with rear
assist, make sure pressure gauge dial is in the
green area to transport.
WARNING!!! The Single Disc Drill transport tires are only rated to carry the weight of the
drill at up to 20 miles per hour. Transporting at over 20 miles per hour will result in tire
failure. There is no warranty for tire failure. When transporting the Single Disc Drill
especially 50’ 60’ with air cart behind on roads with hills and curves, keep speed to a safe
MPH. Slow up 8-10 MPH when approaching curves at bottom of the hill.
WARNING!!! Never transport fully loaded air cart behind Single Disc Drill, always fill air
cart with product in the field being seeded.
WARNING!!! 50’ and 60’ Single Disc Drills are equipped with wing locks, make sure pins
are installed before transporting. Always remove wing lock pins before unfolding.
Folding and Unfolding wings
CAUTION!!! Never fold and unfold Single Disc Drill while in motion. Always bring tractor
and implement to a complete stop before doing so. Folding and unfolding while in motion
may cause damage to the wing lift components and cylinders.
CAUTION!!! When folding wings up before transport, make sure the frame is at the height
you will be transporting in. This will insure proper pressurization of the rear lift assist
circuit.
