DANGER: Denotes the most serious specific potential hazard.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

You can make your farm a safer place to live and work if you observe the safety precautions given. Study
these precautions carefully and insist that those working with you and for you follow them.

Finally, remember this: an accident is usually caused by someone’s carelessness, neglect or oversight.

WARNING

performing service.

If the machine must be serviced in the raised position, jack or block it up to prevent it from accidentally
falling and injuring someone.

to cause tipping or loss of control.

Be sure all personnel are clear of the immediate area before operating.

Read and understand the operator’s manual and require all other persons who will operate the equipment to
do the same.

Be familiar with all tractor and implement controls and be prepared to stop engine and implements quickly in
an emergency.

CAUTION

Consult your implement and tractor operator’s manual for correct and safe operating practices.

Beware of towed implement width and allow safe clearance.

FAILURE TO HEED MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

row unit.

STEP 2. Attach the 6200-306 L.H. spring anchor and 6200-305 R.H. spring anchor to
the row unit using a 3/8” x 2” bolt, spacer and lock nut.

STEP 3. Attach the 6200-202 – v-closing wheel mount to the spring anchor straps using
a 3/8” x 1-1/2” bolt, 3/8” flat washer, spacer, 3/8” flat washer and lock nut.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 4. Insert the 6000-524 – close wheel lever into the 6000-247 close

wheel arm, install the spring onto the close wheel lever and attach the
close wheel lever to the wheel arm using a 5/16” x 1-1/2” bolt and lock nut.

STEP 5. First, hook the spring onto the 6200-202 – close wheel mount
then attach the close wheel arm assembly to the left hand side of the
6200-202 close wheel mount and the row unit using the ½” x 1” bolt, 6200­341 – link and lock nut. Insert the 6000-523 – eccentric bushing into the
close wheel arm and connect the close wheel arm to the 6200-341 - link
and 6200-202 – wheel mount using a ½” x 2-1/2” bolt, ½” flat washer and
lock nut.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 6. Attach the close wheel arm assembly to the right hand side of

the 6200-202 – close wheel mount and the row unit by inserting the 6000­523 – eccentric bushing into the close wheel arm assembly and securing
with the ½” x 2-1/2” bolt, link, ½” flat washer and lock nut. Attach the link
to the close wheel bracket using a ½” x 1” bolt and lock nut.

STEP 7. Attach the wheels to the 6000-247 arm using a 5/8” x 4” bolt, flat
washer, bushing, spacer and 5/8” lock nut.

NOTE: In certain conditions, seed to soil contact and residue flow can be
improved by spacing closing wheels further apart and or staggering them.
To space closing wheels further apart place the spacers, washers and
bushings between the closing wheel and the arm. To remove space
between wheels, place the spacers, washers and bushings on outside of
wheel. Two mounting holes, for each closing wheel are provided to
stagger closing wheels. To stagger closing wheels remove one closing
wheel from the arm and reassemble in the other hole.

“V” CLOSING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT

CAUTION: Raise planter to transport position and install all
safety locks before adjusting closing wheels.

Angled closing wheels trail behind seed
opener to close seed trench left by
opener. Adjustable spring pressure
permits proper firming of the soil
beside seed runner rather than directly
above it. An eccentric bushing allows
centering of the closing wheel on the
row to properly apply pressure on both
sides of the seed when closing the
trench. When adjusted properly, the
closing wheels are centered.

NOTE: For clarity, closing wheel
assembly has been removed from row
unit.

Loosen bolts (A) that attach closing
wheel arm to wheel arm stop.

Rotate eccentric bushing (B) with
wrench to align closing wheel
assembly with center of seed trench.

Tighten bolts (A) that attach closing
wheel arm to wheel arm stop.

After setting planting to correct depth,
check operation of closing wheels.
The closing wheel must apply enough down pressure to close the seed

7

trench and insure good seed-to-soil contact.

If the seed trench is NOT being closed properly, INCREASE closing wheel
pressure by moving lever (C) REARWARD.

Closing wheels must NOT sink into the soil too deeply or the seed
placement could be adversely affected, especially when planting shallow.

If the closing wheels are applying too much pressure and the seed is being
moved by the closing wheels, DECREASE closing wheel pressure by
moving lever (C) FORWARD.

Light soils usually require LESS down pressure; heavy soils MORE.

NOTES

Our name

Is getting known

Just a few years ago, Yetter products were sold primarily to the
Midwest only. Then we embarked on a program of expansion and
moved into the East, the South, the West and now north into
Canada. We’re even getting orders from as far away as Australia
and Africa.

So, when you buy Yetter products . . .you’re buying a name that’s
recognized. A name that’s known and respected. A name that’s
become a part of American agriculture and has become
synonymous with quality and satisfaction in the field of conservation
tillage.

Thank you.
