Trailer Transport
Load Maneuvering Hazard - Use care and planning when
loading or unloading the drill in trailer transport. The rear
casters may turn and force the drill off the trailer.
▲ Make sure the trailer is rated for the load.
▲ Make the trailer is wide enough for the load.
▲ Make sure the load is secured properly.
Loading Trailer
1.
Hitch suitable 3-point tractor with available hydraulic
remote (page 14).
2. Raise drill (page 20).
Loading with Casters Locked
3.
Carefully line-up the tractor, drill and trailer, so that:
a. no turns are needed for the final movement, and
b. the casters are fully reversed.
4. Install caster swivel lock pins (page 23).
5. Carefully back the drill onto the trailer bed.
6. Lower the drill (page 22).
7. Secure the load with cargo straps or chains.
Great Plains recommends locking casters prior to loading for
trailer transport, and leaving them locked for transport and
unloading. This reduces the risk of loading and transport
accidents which could result in significant implement damage.
Unloading Trailer
1.
Check that casters are still locked.
2. Release cargo straps or chains.
3. Hitch suitable 3-point tractor with available hydraulic
remote (page 14).
4. On a narrow trailer, confirm that caster pivot swivel
locks are still in place (page 23).
5. Raise drill (page 20).
6. Carefully tow drill from trailer.
7. Remove caster pivot swivel locks (if engaged,
page 23).
8. Unless arriving at planting ground, install lift-assist
cylinder transport locks (page 20).

Unstable Load Hazard - Do not transport on a trailer of
insufficient width or length. Unless both caster tires are on the
bed, too few openers are supporting the entire drill. The load
may spill, with risk of serious injury or death to anyone
nearby, and certainty of major equipment damage.
Machine Damage Risks - The drill must be hitched to a
3-point tractor for any movement. Coulter or opener damage
is likely if unhitched movement is attempted. Observe all
hitching precautions.
