Transporting the Planter
Loss of Control Hazard:
Ensure that the towing vehicle is adequate for the task. Using
an inadequate tow vehicle is extremely unsafe, and can result
in loss of control, serious injury and death.
The planter can weigh up to 50,000 pounds (22780 kg),
depending on configuration and seed load. A tank cart hitched
to the planter (“in train”) can add another 5,000 pounds
(2268 kg) empty. The tractor unit MUST be rated for the load.
If the tractor is not rated for at least 50,000 pounds, calculate
the actual weight of the planter and cart.
Do not tow if planter exceeds the load rating of the vehicle.
Loss of Control Hazard:
A tank cart in train must be EMPTY. A full PFC tank cart
weighs nearly 30,000 pounds (13608 kg), and, when hitched to
the planter, represents an unsafe highway load regardless of
the rating of the towing vehicle. If a cart must be transported
loaded, tow it separately.
Loss of Control Hazard:
The CFM switch must be set to Hitch, and the hydraulic circuit
must be in FLOAT during transport. Failure to do this may
result in hydraulic system damage, transport hooks
unlatching, and major planter/tractor damage.
Reduction of Control Risk:
Seed may be loaded prior to travel, but increases stopping
distance, increases the need for caution in turns and braking,
and increases tire wear.
