11. After seed depth is obtained, observe angle of shoe linkages. Linkage should be approximately
2” to 3” lower in the rear when planting. This will allow the gauge wheels to carry only the
weight of the row unit and float over obstructions if any are encountered. The trailing action of
the parallel linkage results in a more consistent planting depth.
12. Raise or lower 3-point hitch and rear cylinders to obtain proper angle on shoe linkage while
maintaining planter frame angle. Adjust rear cylinder and 3-point lever stop accordingly.
13. Lower the marker if your machine is so equipped. The sequencing valve supplied with the
optional marker controls its operation.

e.
Move the lever to the “lower” position to lower the other marker.
f.
To lower both markers, move the hydraulic lever to the “lower” position / momentarily to
the “raise” position, and then back to the “lower” position. Both markers will be lowered.
g.
Move the hydraulic lever to the “raise” position to raise both markers. The valve will
then return to its normal sequencing cycle.
