Appendix C - Flat Ground Planting
The YP625TD and YP925TD planters are optimized for
planting on beds 18 cm high. For planting on flat ground,
the gauge wheels and lift-assist wheels need to be
elevated to run 18 cm higher.
Note: The ground drive wheel does not need to be reset
to operate on flat ground.
Elevate Gauge Wheels
You need a hoist for this adjustment. If the planter also
has lift-assist, perform both adjustment on a firm level
surface, such as pavement.
1.
Raise the planter with the 3-point hitch, or the 2-point
hitch and lift-assist. Extend the parking stands.
Install the cylinder lock on the lift-assist.
Refer to Figure 111
2.
Attach the hoist to one of the gauge wheels, near the
wheel axle
. Lift the gauge wheel until the yoke
adjuster
is loose.
3.
Remove the bolts and sleeves securing the yoke
adjuster at the lower/rear holes
of the mount.
4.
Raise the wheel with the hoist to align the top holes
of the adjuster with the upper/forward holes
of the
mount.
5.
Re-install the sleeves and bolts removed at step 3.
6.
Repeat step 2 through step 5 for the other gauge
wheel.
For model YP925TD0965, the above is the only
adjustment necessary.
Elevate Lift-Assist Wheels
With the planter still raised, use a hoist or blocks to
support the weight at the lift-assist mount
8.
Retract the lift-assist cylinder until the wheels are
just off the ground. Measure the distance to the
ground at the cross-tube.
9.
Loosen the lower jam nut
eyebolt. Spin it counter-clockwise, fully down.
10. Use a large wrench to rotate the top nut
until the distance measure at step 8 has been
increased by 18 cm.
11. Spin the lower jam nut
12. Extend the lift-assist circuit. Install the lift lock.
