INSTRUCTIONS 60 Y-DROP JOHN DEERE 60 INTRODUCTION Before beginning, it s important to know where each mounting bracket fits relative to the row spacing involved. The 60 Y-DROP unit should be precisely centered on the machine, as this is critical to the assembly of the system to the sprayer and for mounting the system to your sprayer boom. There are, however, many boom variations among all sprayer models. Your sprayer may not be identical to the model in the following steps of the guide, and the pictures may not exactly reflect your model. While these steps will help you install most of your 60 Y-DROP system, you may need to custom-fit some components with your particular boom.
