Preparation and Setup
This section helps you prepare your tractor and 2025A
and 2525A Drill for use, and covers tasks that need to be
done seasonally, or when the tractor/drill configuration
changes.
Before using the drill in the field, you must hitch it to a
suitable tractor, inspect systems and level the drill.
Before using the drill for the first time, and periodically
thereafter, certain adjustments and calibrations are
required.

(page 98).
• (Option) install seed monitor console in tractor

Post-Delivery/Seasonal Setup
