Tractor Setup and Options

If the tractor to be used with this planter is not available
prior to customer delivery, provide this manual to the cus-
tomer for installation of the steering components.

Seed Monitor Console Installation

The 3PYP Planter’s standard seed monitor system
includes a virtual terminal and switch panel that must be
mounted in the tractor cab. As supplied by DICKEY-
john

®

, the kit includes a flat bracket for the modules, and

a ball swivel for mounting the bracket in the tractor.

Mount the modules so that they are easy to monitor during
planting, but do not interfere with safe operation of the tractor
in the field or on public roads.

The ball swivel includes four 10-32 screws. You or your
dealer must provide the mounting holes for the screws.
Your dealer may have alternate suction cup or clamping
brackets available if you prefer to avoid drilling holes.

Refer to the included DICKEY-john

®

manual for harness

connections.

Tractor Steering

Steering controls caster position. When the hydraulic
system is active, the casters steer to match the turning
radius of the tractor. There are two systems that do this.
Only one or the other system is installed per tractor/
implement:

1.

To install a Linear Sensor, see “Installing Tractor
Linear Steering Components
” on page 41.

2.

To install an Electronic Steering Module, see
Installing Tractor Electronic Steering Compo-
nents
