from bottom of the
mainframe tube to the ground, must be:
between 51 and 56 cm (20 and 22 inches)
with the planter lowered into planting position.

To obtain the correct height, remove the two hitch
bolts
, and reposition the planter hitch
on the
tongue.
The hitch can be turned over for extreme height
changes.
