Transport Checklist
❑ Plan the route. If towing a cart hitched to the planter,
plan the route so that no reverse movements will be
necessary. Avoid steep hills. Keep Clearances in
mind. Folded, your YP3010HDP/3020P/3025 may be
nearly 15ft (4.6m) wide and 13ft (4m) high.
❑ Hitch.
Make both electrical and hydraulic connections. See
“Hitching Tractor to Planter” on page 15.
❑ If markers are unfolded, fold them.
See “Folding the Markers” on page 45.
❑ Raise planter.

Steering
Never exceed 13 mph (22 kph) in turns. The
YP3010HDP/3020P/3025 is heavy, and can cause
“over-steer” with most tractors. The leading gauge wheels, rear-most transport wheels,
and tank cart lead wheel fully caster, and provide no
resistance to side sway by the planter or cart.
