Hitching Tractor to Planter
The planter has a Category IV a hitch. The
YP625TD12TR110 and YP625TD18TP110, which have
lift-assist, are normally hitched as 2-point semi-mounted.
The YP925TD0965 uses full 3-point hitching.
Crushing Hazard:
Do not stand or place any body part between planter and
moving tractor. You may be severely injured or killed by being
crushed between the tractor and planter. Stop tractor engine
and set parking brake before attaching cables and hoses.
1. To prevent soil compaction on rows, set tractor wheel
center-to-center spacing to place wheels between
planter rows. For hillsides and steep slopes, set
tractor wheels as wide as possible for stability.
Refer to Figure 3
2.
Adjust tractor lower links to maximize lifting height.
3. Set tractor sway blocks to minimize side sway. Set
tractor hitch lift control to Float.
4. Back tractor up to planter. Align lower links with the
lower hitch pins
on planter.
5. For planter model YP925TD0965, align upper link
with upper 3-point pin holes
on planter. Insert or
relocate upper pin (not shown) as needed.
6. Raise tractor 3-point hitch until parking stand base
plates
are slightly above ground.
7. Remove the pin in each parking stand. Slide the
stand up in the mount, and re-pin using one of the
holes near the base plate.
Electrical Hookup
Refer to Figure 4 (depicting an SAE J560b lighting connector
- your connector may vary if it has been replaced due to
different electrical conventions)
Your planter is equipped with systems that require
separate electrical connections. For future reference,
note any optional connectors on this checklist.
❑
Lighting connector (standard)
❑
Monitor connector (standard)
❑ Speed Sensor connector (standard)
❑ __________________________
Make sure tractor is shut down with accessory power off
before making connections. These connections may be
made in any order. The key requirement is that all
connections be made prior to planter movement.
