Loading Materials
The 1625AH planter has bulk containers for one of two
materials:
• Optional: 2800 liter (750 gallon)
central liquid fertilizer tank.
See “Loading Liquid Fertilizer (Option)” on page 38.
• Optional: 3500 liter (100 bushel)
central dry fertilizer hopper.
See “Loading Dry Fertilizer (Option)” on page 40.
• Standard: 60 liter (1.6 bushel)
seed hopper at each row.
See “Loading Seed” on page 36.
Loading is more convenient with the planter unfolded and
lowered, but may be performed, raised and/or folded.
For Loading All Materials
1. Check tractor capability:
If loading prior to transport, ensure that the tractor is
rated for the load. Full hoppers can increase the
weight of the planter by nearly 5700 kg (nearly
12600 pounds).
2. Secure planter:
If raised and unfolded, install transport locks
(page 31).
If raised or folded, block tires or set brakes on any
hitched tractor.
3. Turn off planter fan. This eliminates needless
blowing dust when filling the fertilizer hopper.
