Hitching Tractor to Drill
Crushing Hazard:
Do not stand or place any body part between drill and moving
tractor. You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed
between the tractor and drill. Stop tractor engine and set
parking brake before attaching cables and hoses.
Elevating Mass Hazard: This drill can have both positive and
Negative Tongue Weight and it can change during planting.
This poses a serious hazard during unhitching and it can work
the hitch pin loose during transport. Never unhook from
tractor with boxes unfolded and raised off the ground.
Great Plains 2-Section Folding Drills are engineered to
be used with tractors having a standard drawbar. To
operate your Great Plains Folding Drill in most field
conditions, a tractor of 125 minimum horsepower for
24 foot drills and 150 minimum horsepower for 30 foot
drills should be used.
The tractor will need six remote outlets (three pairs). If
your tractor is equipped with only two pairs of remote
outlets and a marker circuit is required, a marker
sequence valve with double selector is available through
your Great Plains dealer.
