OPERATION AND FIELD SETTINGS
DR12x2 Row Hopper Planter OM-EN
5-2
Toolbar Float
The DR12x2 Row Hopper Planter is designed to “float”
over uneven field terrain. This is achieved through the
toolbar’s ability to flex at each wing hinge. Flexing of the
toolbar is limited to ± 8° from horizontal by way of the
wing float link plates (4) coming into contact with
welded-on stops.
CAUTION
!
Avoid implement damage. Remove the float link lock
pins from the rigid positions.
To allow the toolbar to “float”, remove the float link lock
pins (5) from the rigid pin positions (6) and place the pin
in the storage pin positions (11) before field operation.
