fieLd OperaTiOn
Planters are designed to operate within a speed range of 2 - 8 mph (3 - 13 kph). Higher ground speeds can cause
more variation in seed spacing. Speeds above 5.5 mph (8.8 kph) are typically not recommended.
nOTiCe: always raise planter out of ground when making sharp turns or backing up.
Normal field planting operation requires use of tractor’s hydraulic control to raise and lower planter frame when making
field turn arounds. Place hydraulic lever in float position during normal field operation.
nOTiCe: Operate row markers in float position to prevent damage to row markers.
Operate row markers with control console switch for that marker in ON (LEFT or RIGHT) position and tractor’s hydraulic
control. After markers are lowered to ground, move hydraulic control to operate markers in float position. Marker speed
is controlled with flow control valves located in planter hitch valve block. One valve controls raise speed and other valve
controls lower speed of both markers. See “Row Marker Speed Adjustment” and “Row Marker Operation”.
