Seeding Tool With Tow-Behind Cart
IMPORTANT:
Inspect seeding tool safety chain for rating tag to ensure that it's capacity is equal to or higher than the combined total weight of seeding tool with cart. Weights of carts and John Deere seeding tools are shown in Preparing the tractor-General section under CALCULATING MINIMUM TRACTOR WEIGHT FOR SAFE TRANSPORT.
Refer to your seeding equipment operator's manual for machine weight when seeding tool was not manufactured by John Deere.
