PLANTER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT 

 

 

 

Figure A. 

– 

The planter hitch and frame are both 20” off the ground.  To ensure this, visually 

check to see that the planter boxes are level and that the planter unit parallel arms are also 
parallel with the ground.  

When using planter attachments located in front of the planter unit, 

this setting is very important. 

 

Figure B. 

– 

The planter hitch is set too low while the planter frame remains at 20” off the ground!  

Notice from the illustration that the unit mounted coulter is running deeper in the ground than the 
planter unit.  This condition can result in the formation of an air pocket below the seedbed, which 
will in turn dramatically decrease seed growth.   
 

NOTE:  Both illustrations are strictly for reference only.  They are intended to show that proper 
adjustment of the hitch height is critical.  Consult your planter operator’s manual for the proper 
height adjustment of the hitch.
