Leveling The Planter
To level the planter:
With the tractor and planter on a level surface, lower the
toolbar until 46 to 56 cm (18 to 22 in) from the ground on
both sides.
m
WARNING: Stop tractor engine and shift to
park or neutral and set brakes and remove
the key before dismounting.
Adjust the tractor upper three-point hitch link until the
toolbar is level.
Loosen the lock nut and turn the drive wheel adjusting
screw (both wheels) until the planter drive wheels firmly
contact the ground.
NOTE: Larger model planters have leading drive wheels
while smaller models have trailing wheels.
Adjusting procedure is the same.
Lift assist wheels on larger models are not
involved in this procedure.
Operating Notes
•
The planter toolbar is properly adjusted when the row
unit parallel linkage arms are approximately parallel
to the ground, and the linkage support angles are
perpendicular.
•
Check the adjustments after planting a short
distance. Adjust if necessary.
