Preparation and Setup

This section helps you prepare your tractor and
YP3010HDP/3020P/3025 for use, and covers tasks that
need to be done seasonally, or when the tractor/planter
configuration changes.

Before using the YP3010HDP/3020P/3025 in the field,
you must hitch the planter to a suitable tractor, inspect
systems and level the planter. Before using the planter
for the first time, and periodically thereafter, certain
adjustments and calibrations are required.

pre-delivery items (normally completed by dealer), and

check and as necessary, complete these items before
