Preparation and Setup

Preparation and Setup

This section helps to prepare your tractor and planter
for use. Before using the planter in the field, you must
hitch  the  planter  to  a  suitable  tractor,  inspect  the
systems, and level the planter.

Hitch Planter to Tractor

Crushing Hazard

Do  not  stand  or  place  any  body  part  between

planter  and  moving  tractor.  You  may  be  severely

injured  or  killed  by  being  crushed  between  the

tractor  and  planter.  Stop  tractor  engine  and  set

parking  brake  before  installing  hitch  pins,  and

attaching cables and hoses.

To  prevent  soil  compaction  on  rows,  set  the  tractor
wheels between rows. For hillsides and steep slopes,
set  the  tractor  wheels  as  wide  as  possible  for
maximum stability.
1. Use  the  jack  to  raise  and  lower  the  planter

tongue.

2. After hitching the planter to the tractor, store the

jack on the storage tube on top of planter tongue.

3. Secure the planter safety chain to an anchor on

the tractor capable of pulling the unit.

Planter Hitches

Hitch Failure Hazard

Install  the  hitch  base  and  assemble  the  parts  as

shown. Incorrect installation or assembly may lead

to  hitch  failure  which  could  result  in  a  serious

highway accident or severe machine damage.

There  are  four  different  hitches  available  for  the
planter.

Single-Strap and Scharmüller Hitches

1. Install  the  hitch  assembly  onto  the  tongue  with

1-1/4 x 10 inch bolt (1), lock washer, and nut.

2. Assemble  the  safety  chain,  washer,  and  hitch

spacers as shown.  Secure with a 1-1/4 x 11-1/2
inch bolt (2), lock washer, and nut.
