Parking - Landoll 5531 Operator's Manual

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

Parking

1. When unhitching the Grain Drill from the tractor, it is
best to park in the folded position whenever possible.
This gives the drill the smallest storage footprint, and
keeps the openers off the ground. Park the drill on a
level area to prevent rolling and shifting. If the drill
must be parked unfolded, do so only temporarily as
hydraulics and air systems may settle.
2. To park the drill with the wings in the folded position:
a. Fully raise the drill extending the main lift
cylinders and the telescoping hitch.
b. Lower the front parking jack stand and pin in the
parking position. If storing on soft ground, place
board/plate under the jack stand for a wider foot
print.
c. Remove the transport lock pin from the
telescoping hitch and place in the storage
position.
d. Slowly lower the front telescoping hitch until
weight is relieved from the tractor drawbar.
e. Disconnect the safety chain and wiring.
f. Disconnect the hydraulic hoses and place in the
storage bracket above the hitch.
g. Carefully remove the hitch pin.

3. To park the drill with the wings unfolded:

The Grain Drill has negative tongue weight when
the boxes are unfolded and openers are raised.
Removing the hitch pin in the unfolded position
can allow the hitch to raise suddenly causing
personnel injury or death.
a. With the wings unfolded, make sure the main lift
and hitch are fully lowered.
b. Slowly extend the front telescoping hitch but not
raise the main lift.
c. Lower the parking stand and pin in the storage
position.
d. Lower the openers to the ground to support the
rear of the drill.
e. Slowly extend or retract the telescoping hitch to
relieve the weight on the tractor drawbar.
f. Disconnect the safety chain and wiring.
g. Disconnect the hydraulic hoses and place in the
storage bracket above the hitch.
h. Carefully remove the hitch pin.
