Hitching Tractor to Planter
Crushing Hazard:
Do not stand or place any part of your body 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.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use a
piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for
leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems. Escaping fluid under
pressure can have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin
causing serious injury. If an accident occurs, seek immediate
medical assistance from a physician familiar with this type of
injury.
Hitching with 3-Point
Refer to Figure 3
1.
Connect your tractor 3-point to the planter 3-point
hitch. If using quick hitch be sure planter locks into
hitch securely.
2. Raise tractor 3-point just enough to relieve pressure
from parking stands.
3. Swing up and pin up 3-point stands. See “Storing
3-Point Parking Stands” on page 20.
Load Sway Risk:
Adjust 3-point hitch arms and sway blocks to minimize any
side-to-side sway to assure proper tracking in the field and
safe road travel.
4. Connect hydraulic hoses to tractor remotes. See
“Hydraulic Hose Hookup” on page 17.
5. Connect electrical cables. See “Electrical Hookup”
on page 19.
6. Remove and store main tongue parking stand. See
“Store Main Parking Stand” on page 19.
