Hitching Tractor to Planter
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
wheels at 60 inches center-to-center. For hillsides
and steep slopes, set tractor wheels as wide as
possible for maximum stability.
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 clevis on planter. Adjust hitch bushings
and spacers
supplied with planter according to the
category of your tractor. Lock pins in place.
5. Attach tractor top link to upper hitch clevis on planter.
Electrical Hookup
Refer to Figure 4

separate electrical connections. For future reference,
