TOWING PLANTER
• Tow only with farm tractor rated and configured for equipment.
• Know your route and be aware of any obstructions.
• Follow all road and bridge load limit restrictions.
• Never exceed maximum transport towing speed of 20 mph (32 kph).
PLANTING SPEED
Planters are designed to operate within a speed range of 2 to 8 mph (3.2 - 12.8 kph). See “Rate Charts”. Variations in
ground speed produce variations in rates. Finger pickup seed meter populations tend to be disproportionately higher at
high ground speeds.
NOTE: Seed spacing can be adversely affected at speeds above 5.5 mph (8.8 kph).
Contacting or coming close to power
lines or other high energy sources will
cause death or serious injury.
Keep away from power lines or high
energy sources at all times.
DANGER
All safety/warning lights, reflective
decals, and SMV sign must be in place
and visible before transporting machine
on public roads or death, serious injury,
and damage to property and equipment
may result. Check federal, state/
provincial, and local regulations before
transporting equipment on public roads.
WARNING
Raise planter out of ground when making
sharp turns or backing up or equipment
damage may result.
