Transport Checklist
If heading to the field, before departing, ensure that
opener depth, seed rate and fertilizer rate have been
determined, or that the necessary data is with you.
Plan the route. If towing a cart hitched to the planter,
plan the route so that no reverse movements will be
necessary. Avoid steep hills. Keep Clearances in
mind. Folded, your YP24 may be nearly 15 feet
(4.6 m) wide and 13 feet (4 m) high.
Close slide gates on hoppers or seed boxes.

3-point hitch:
Lower hitch fully to ensure wings remain locked.
Hydraulic hitch:
Confirm CFM set to Hitch and hitch circuit in Float.
Always have lights on for highway operation.
Comply with all federal, state and local safety laws
when traveling on public roads.
Travel with caution.
Do not exceed 20 mph when driving straight.
Do not exceed 13 mph in turns.
Steering
Never exceed 13 mph (22 kph) in turns. The YP24 is
extremely heavy, and can cause “over-steer” with most
tractors. The leading gauge wheels, rear-most transport
wheels, PFC tank cart lead wheel and SML tank cart
trailing wheels fully caster, and provide no resistance to
side sway by the planter or cart.
Never exceed 3 mph (5 kph) in reverse.
Never back up with the planter lowered or with a fertilizer tank
hitched to the planter.
