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. For 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, see “
2.
3.
Unfold the planter fully (page 24).
Set Tongue Height
Planter must be unfolded for this procedure.
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.
Tractor 3-point control must be in Depth Control
mode, and not Draft Control mode.
•
For hydraulic tongue:
Note the scale reading on the tongue for this height.
[Re]set the tongue height to this value when planting.
