Heights and Leveling
All frame sections must be at the correct height and level
to maintain even planting depth.
Periodic frame-leveling adjustments should not be
necessary. If you are having problems with uneven
depth, check planter levelness and follow these
procedures.
1. Before making any adjustments be sure the lift
cylinders are re-phased and operating properly. If
not, “
Re-Phasing Lift System ” on page 33
2. Complete “ Bleeding Hydraulics ” on page 91.
3. Unfold the planter fully (page 27).
Set Tongue Height
Planter must be unfolded for this procedure.
Refer to Figure 14
Set the initial tongue height, using 3-point or hydraulic
tongue cylinder. Distance is measured at top of tongue to
ground level.
•
For standard 3-point hitch:
Set depth stop to capture this working height.
If desired height cannot be attained with normal
range of hitch, swivel coupler weldment may be
relocated in tongue bolt holes.
