Transporting the Folding
Seeder
1. Check and follow all federal, state, and local
requirements before transporting the Folding Seeder.
2. The Folding Seeder should be transported only by a
tractor required for field operation. The implement
weight should not exceed more than 1.5 times the
tractor weight. Unless noted on the implement,
maximum transport speed is 20 mph for the
implement and is designated on the Speed
Identification Symbol (SIS) located on the front of the
implement.
CAUTION
Excessive speed may result in loss of control of
the tractor and implement, reduced braking, or
failure of the implement tires or structure. Do not
exceed the implement maximum specified ground
speed regardless of the capability of the
maximum tractor speed.
3. Always fully fold Seeder Wings prior to transport.
4. Slow down when driving on rough roads. Reduce
speed when turning, or on curves and slopes to avoid
tipping. Equipment altered other than the place of
manufacture may reduce the maximum transport
speed. Additional weight, added tanks, markers,
harrow attachments, etc. may reduce the implements
carrying capabilities.
5. Before transporting Folding Seeder:
a. Know the height and width of the implement being
towed. Markers, tanks, attachments, etc. can
increase the height and width of the implement.
DANGER
DANGER
Stay away from power lines when transporting,
extending or folding implement. Electrocution can
occur without direct contact.

rated to carry the weight of the Folding Seeder
Hitch. Refer to Tractor Operator's Manual.
c. Use provided pins that properly fits the Lift Arms
or Quick Hitch and Implement Hitch.
d. Clean all Hydraulic Couplings and attach to
tractor remotes.
e. Connect Brillion Elite Mini Monitor System to
tractor.
f.
Connect the Safety Warning Lights 7-Pin Plug
into tractor 7-Pin outlet, routing cord by avoiding
pinch points.
