Folding/Unfolding the Grain Drill
The Grain Drill is equipped with hydraulic cylinders to fold
and unfold the drill from transport to field position. A
combination of both the fold and lift hydraulics will be
used to fold/unfold the drill.
DANGER
1.
Before folding/unfolding the drill, pin the drill hitch to
the tractor drawbar
(See “Attaching Grain Drill To
WARNING
2.
Connect the hydraulic hoses to the tractor remotes.
3.
When unfolding:
a.
Remove transport lock pins from telescoping
hitch and wing fold locks and place in storage
locations
b.
Fully raise the opener tool bars for maximum
opener clearance.
c.
Fully raise the Grain Drill to relieve pressure on
the main lift transport locks.
d.
Watching the transport lock rod over the top of
the main hitch, slowly start to unfold the drill only
until the transport lock rod has fully extended and
the wing brace locking hooks are down.
e.
Lower the unit to the ground, until the hitch and
main lift are fully lowered.
f.
Continue to unfold the drill until the wing
cylinders have fully extended and the wing brace
locks have engaged.
g.
Slowly raise the hitch to level the unit for field
operation. Use the visual reference indicator
holes on the front of the hitch to know when the
unit is approximately level.
4.
When folding:
a.
Raise the opener tool bar for maximum opener
clearance.
b.
Fully lower the hitch.
c.
Begin folding the wings inward. The wing brace
lock will move first to release the tongue braces,
then fold the wings in completely.
d.
Fully raise hitch and main lift. Watch to make
sure the wing locks have fully engaged as the
hitch begins to raise.
e.
Install transport lock pins in the telescoping hitch
and wing fold locks to secure
The Grain Drill should be folded/unfolded on a
large level area large enough to accommodate
the drill when unfolded. Be sure other people and
pets are a safe distance away. Tractor should be
stopped and not moving, with the engine at a
slow idle.
The wings will generate negative tongue weight
when the unit is unfolded causing the hitch to
rise suddenly, possibly resulting in serious injury
or death. Be sure the tractor drawbar and safety
chain are securely attached to the tractor before
unfolding the Grain Drill.
