Compatible Tractors
New 3PYP planters include reverse hydraulic steering,
which requires mounting a sensor in the tractor steering
gear. Brackets and instructions are included for the fol-
lowing tractor brands and models.
The tractor must otherwise also meet the requirements
listed under Specifications and Capacities in Appendix A
of the Operator Manual (401-312M).
If the customer does not have one of the brands and
models listed above, contact the factory. The list of sup-
ported tractors, and available sensor mounting brackets,
is planned for expansion.
At time of publication, this 3PYP steering system was not
expected to become compatible with tracked or articu-
lated tractors.
