WARNING!
Transport Hazard. Adding more than the recommend weight to
the drill frame could cause a tire to blow during transport, lead-
ing to a serious road accident and personal injury. Do not add

If soil conditions require more weight for coulter penetra-
tion, weight bracket kits are available. Each kit contains
four weight brackets – one for each wing and two for the
center section. Each bracket holds up to five, 100-pound
suitcase weights commonly available through tractor
dealers.
To order weight brackets, contact your Great Plains dealer.
