Hitching ADC2350B/BE to Leading Drill
Hitching the ADC2350B/BE air cart to the drill is easiest
if the cart hoppers are empty of all seed and treatments.
Shifting the tongue side to side is difficult if material is
loaded, particularly in the forward hopper.
The ADC2350B/BE requires no leveling.
Once the cart is hitched to the drill, it may be left hitched
indefinitely, although disconnection may be necessary for
extensive backing operations.
Crush and Run-Away Hazards:
On completely level ground, it is possible to manually move an
empty cart for hitching. This is unsafe if the ground is not level,
or the cart is not empty. Leave any wheel chocks in place on
uneven/unlevel ground, or if cart is not empty.
Refer to Figure 18
Position the cart so that after hitching, only forward
movements are needed. Once connected to a drill and
tractor, reverse steering is extremely difficult.
1. Hitch the drill to the tractor before hitching the cart to
the drill.
2. Back the tractor and drill up to the cart, so that the
drill drawbar is over the tongue strap
.
3. Shut off the tractor and set the parking brake.
4. Raise the cart tongue, and position the pintle ring on
the drill pintle hook and close clasp.
5. Attach the safety chain to an anchor loop on the
drill hitch.
Make ADC2350B/BE Seed Hose Connections
ADC2350B/BE seed hose connections are made at the
front of the cart, and are couplers. ADC2350/E see hose
connections are made at the back of the cart and are
clamped.
ADC2350B/BE Seed Hose Connections
Refer to Figure 19
Connect the cart seed hose outlet bulkhead
to the drill
seed hose inlet bulkhead .
While making the connection, inspect the gasket (on
the cart side) between the two bulkheads and replace as
needed. Secure with latches
.
Note: On the ADC2350B/BE, the center primary hoses at
the meter feed the outside towers, and the outside
primary hoses at the meter feed the center towers.
