Preparation and Setup
This section helps you prepare your tractor and
YP625TD and YP925TD Planter for use, and covers

Before using the planter in the field, you must hitch it 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.
