Trailer Operations
The YP4425A planter optionally includes a trailing pintle
hitch, intended for use with Great Plains PFC1600 or
PFC2000 fertilizer tank carts. Hitching/hook-up and
operating instructions are found in the tank cart
Operator’s Manual.
Uncontrollable Load Hazard:
DO NOT EVER transport the tank cart while hitched to the
planter (in train) over roads if there is any liquid in either
tank. Tank(s) must be empty for transport, or the tank must be
towed separately.
Machine Damage Hazard:
Do not attempt reverse operations with a trailer hitched to the
planter. Trailer direction is extremely difficult to control.
The PFC1600 and PFC2000 tanks include a
ground-driven pump with an electric clutch. The clutch
circuit is controlled by the “Fert.Pump” switch
on the
Clutch Folding Module. Also, as the pump is
ground-driven, it automatically starts and stops with
planter movement.
