Note: The figures in the table above represent a limited
number of configurations. The weight of your
planter can vary by thousands of pounds, even if it
is the same base model, due to installed options
and/or aftermarket equipment.
If your tractor weight or capability is near its limits,
take your empty planter to a scale and get a pre-
cise weight.
