Folding the YP40 Planter
Fold the YP40 planter for moves between fields and over
public roads, and for storage. The distance between the
tractor and the seed structure increases by 12 ft. (3.7 m)
during folding. Planter, tractor, or both will move during
this operation.
Pinch Point and Crushing Hazard.
To prevent serious injury or death:
▲ Fold only on hard level ground. Allow ample room.
▲ If it is desired that the tractor not move during folding, make
sure tractor is in Park and/or has parking brakes set,
otherwise the telescoping movement of the planter is likely
to result in tractor movement.
▲ Do not allow anyone to be on or near the planter during
folding.
▲ Stay clear of the wing sweep arcs. The sweep arcs of the
wings have numerous pinch and crush points in the
mechanism. Coulters and row openers are sharp.
▲ Allow no one behind the planter. The seed structure moves
backward during folding.
▲ Do not fold with planter lowered, or machine damage will
result.
▲ Fold only with markers resting in transport cradles.
▲ Fold only if hydraulics are bled free of air and fully charged
with hydraulic oil.
