SUMMARIZED FIELD TO TRANSPORT SEQUENCE
USING CONTROL BOX
The control box and VT (virtual terminal) should not be used at the same time.
Make sure markers are disabled on the VT when the control box is being used
to fold/unfold the planter.
1. If equipped with row markers, remove lockups from storage and
install on marker cylinder rods.
2. Place function switch on control box in FOLD position.
3. Place planter into field turnaround position.
4. Lift drawbar or 2-point hitch to level planter frame.
5. Fold wings in toward tractor. As wing hooks approach the hitch
tube, adjust hitch height to allow hooks to pass above it. The
planter is fully folded when wing hooks are beyond hitch tube.
6. Lift hitch to lock wings into place after folding.
7. Raise transport axle to transport height or, if equipped with flip-axle,
roll tires fully into forward transport position.
8. Raise wing wheels into transport position.
9. If equipped with drawbar hitch, raise hitch slightly above transport
position, install hitch locking pin, and lower hitch onto pin.
10. Install lockups.
NOTE: Read following information for detailed instructions.
Tractor must be in neutral and allowed
to roll freely when folding to prevent
equipment damage, especially in soft
conditions or when loaded with seed or
fertilizer. Use tractor assist as needed to
aid in unfolding and to reduce stress on
frame and transport components.
