DR12x2 Row Hopper Planter OM-EN

1-3

Product Description

Orthman is known as a worldwide leader in versatile
stacking toolbars because we continually strive to meet
and exceed the changing needs of our customers. The
DR12x2 Row Hopper Planter provides rugged durability
and exceptional maneuverability, while offering greater
productivity with 36 in, 38 in, and 40 in row spacing.

The DR12x2 Row Hopper Planter features a dual-mount
hitch to accommodate for twin row or single row
operation. As part of the unique dual-mount hitch, the
hitch top link has two mounting locations for the tractor
3-point hitch.

An internal toolbar vacuum circuit has been designed into
the DR12x2 Row Hopper Planter. The vacuum air for the
seed meters is routed from each row unit to the internal
space of the toolbar, which is then connected to a
vacuum fan via a flex hose connected to another internal
toolbar vacuum outlet.

Purpose of This Manual
