Planter Leveling
Center Section Leveling
Refer to Figure 159 (which depicts the planter on pavement -
perform this adjustment in the field)
1.
Put planter in field position by lowering and pulling
forward.
Leveling Mis-adjustment Risk:
Planter must be fully lowered to field position and hitch height
must be set before making side-to-side adjustments.
2. Measure the elevation of both left and right sides of
the planter, near the wing pivot location. If they are
not the same, adjust the tractor 3-point arm linkage
to equalize, while keeping center height at desired
value (nominally 26in/66cm).
Wing Leveling
Wing leveling check/adjustment is required prior to first
use of the 3PYPA planter, and periodically thereafter,
such as when using a different tractor, or when the trac-
tor set-up has been modified for use with another imple-
ment.
Before performing this operation:
• Planter must be hitched and all connections made.
• See “Hitching Tractor to Planter” on page 14.
• Planter must be unfolded on firm level ground.
• See “Unfolding the 3PYPA Planter” on page 33.
• Planter must be lowered.
• Center section must be leveled.
• See “Frame Height and Leveling” on page 21, and
“Center Section Leveling” on page 162.
