Folding the YP3025A Planter
Fold the planter Planter for moves between fields and
over public roads, and for storage. The distance between
the tractor and the seed structure increases by
12 feet (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.
