Transport
Electrocution Hazard:
To prevent serious injury or death from electric shock, keep
clear of overhead power lines when transporting, folding,
unfolding or operating all drill components. Machine is not
grounded. At higher voltages, electrocution can occur without
direct contact.
Great Plains recommends transporting the drill empty.
Although designed for highway movement when loaded,
the additional weight of seed may cause the drill to
exceed the rated ability of the tractor, makes the drill
more difficult to control and stop, and increases wear on
tires and wheel bearings.
Loss of Control Hazard:
Towing the drill at high speeds or with a vehicle that is not
heavy enough can lead to loss of vehicle control. Loss of vehi-
cle control can lead to serious road accidents, injury and
death. To reduce the hazard:
▲ Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph).
▲ Do not tow a drill that weighs more than 1.5 times the
weight of the towing vehicle. (The tractor must weigh at
least 2 ⁄
3
or 67% of the drill weight - see table below.)
Transport Weights
In the table, the “Large Configuration” includes: 3 weight
kits, coulters, markers and Small Seeds (empty). If your
tractor is rated for more than the “Large Configuration”,
you may not need to determine the weight of your drill. Note: These weights are approximate. They can vary by
hundreds of pounds depending on coulter type,
press wheel type, material density and aftermar-
ket modifications.
Approximate Transport Weights
