specification.

Hoppers for the YP2425A Planter are provisioned as
a pair. To provide convenient walkboard access to the
lid, the lid hinge is on the left for the left hopper, and on
the right for the right hopper. They are otherwise
identical.
Tipping Hazard:
Place or remove an 82 bu. hopper only when empty. A full
hopper can weigh over 5,000 lbs, which is above the lifting
and balance capability of most tractors and farm forklifts.
1. Move the planter to an area of level ground and
sufficient room to maneuver a tractor or fork-loader.
2. Unhitch tank cart if present.
3. Raise the planter. This causes the rear transport
wheels to move forward, providing closer access for
the lifter.
4. Back up the planter about three feet. This causes the
rear transport wheels to caster forward, further
reducing the reach required for lifting.
5. Turn off the seed box fan.
6. Put the towing tractor in Park. Shut off engine.
Remove key.
7. Close the slide gates at the base of the hoppers or
seed boxes.
Refer to Figure 36
8. Remove the two pins , one back left, one back
right, used to retain the seed box or hopper. Remove
these pins even if no container is presently mounted.
Refer to Figure 37
9. Align the lifting forks with the slots in the rear of the
seed box or hopper. Slowly drive forward until the
forks are completely under the container.
10. Slowly lift the seed container above the bracket, and
back away from the planter.
11. Lower the container to the ground for exchange with
the next seed box.
