Hitching Tractor to Planter
Crushing Hazard:
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed
between the tractor and planter. Do not stand or place any
part of your body between planter and moving tractor. Stop
tractor engine and set parking brake before attaching cables
and hoses.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to
penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by
relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use a
piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for
leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems. If an accident occurs,
seek immediate medical assistance from a physician familiar
with this type of injury.
Hitching with 3-Point
Refer to Figure 3
1. If the planter is model YP4010HDP-3215 (“Even
Row 15 in.”), check the configuration of the hitch
offset at “YP4010HDP-3215 3-Point Hitch” on
page 174.
2. Connect your tractor 3-point to the planter 3-point
hitch. If using quick hitch be sure planter locks into
hitch securely.
3. Raise tractor 3-point enough to relieve pressure from
parking stands.
Load Sway Risk:
Adjust 3-point hitch arms and sway blocks to minimize any
side-to-side sway to assure proper tracking in the field and
safe road travel.
4. Connect hydraulic hoses to tractor remotes. See
“Hydraulic Hose Hookup” on page 19.
5. Connect electrical cables. See “Electrical Hookup”
on page 21.
