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 park brake before attaching cables and hoses.

with hydraulic systems. If an accident occurs, seek immediate
medical attention from a physician familiar with this type of
injury.
