Transporting
Towing the drill at high speeds or with a vehicle that is
not heavy enough could lead to loss of vehicle control.
Loss of vehicle control could lead to serious road ac-
cidents, injury and death. To reduce the hazard, do not
exceed 20 mph.
Before transporting the drill, follow and check
these items:
Unload seed box. Unload seed box before trans-
porting if at all possible. To do so:
• Place tarp under drill or a bucket under each
seed meter.
• Use large bucket to empty box as much as
possible. Make sure sliding seed tubes are in
the open position. Open seed meter clean out
to empty seed out of sliding seed tube and
meter.
The drill can be transported with a full box of grain,
but the added weight will increase stopping dis-
tance and decrease maneuverability.
Transport drill only while in folded position with all
transport locks in place
Road rules. Comply with all federal, state and lo-
cal safety laws when traveling on public roads.
Clearance. Remember that the drill is wider than
the tractor. Allow safe clearance.
Transporting with Markers. Always transport
markers in the folded position.
