Combo Caddy
Operator’s Manual
The Combo Caddy is yet another innovative Orthman implement
engineered to provide the agricultural industry with unprecedented single
eld pass efciency. The impressive lifting capacity of up to 40,000 lbs.
allows the Combo Caddy to carry up to 1,000 gallons of liquid fertilizer
in combination with two three point mounted implements. Effectively,
the Combo Caddy minimizes weight applied to the towing device while
combining multiple operations in a single implement to maximize single
eld pass efciency.
Typically, the Combo Caddy is utilized to carry an Orthman 1tRIPr preplant
tillage tool in combination with a planter. This conguration combines
preplant tillage and the planting application in a single implement.
The Combo Caddy is available in four and six lift wheel congurations to
carry a wide variety of implement sizes. A wide stance creates stability in
the eld as well as during transport. High lift clearance allows implement
clearance in rough terrain. To increase lifting capacity, optional lift wheels
(2) are available for addition to four lift wheel Caddies.

Farm Safety
Contrary to the popular image of fresh air and peaceful surroundings, a farm is
not a hazard-free work setting. Every year, thousands of farm workers are injured
and hundreds more die in farming accidents. According to the National Safety
Council, agriculture is the most hazardous industry in the nation.
How You Can Improve Farm Safety
You can start by increasing your awareness of farming hazards and making a conscious effort to prepare for emergency
situations including fires, vehicle accidents, electrical shocks from equipment and wires, and chemical exposures. Be
especially alert to hazards that may affect children and the elderly. Minimize hazards by carefully selecting the products
you buy to ensure that you provide good tools and equipment. Always use seat belts when operating tractors, and
establish and maintain good housekeeping practices. Here are some other steps you can take to reduce illnesses and
injuries on the farm:
• Read and follow instructions in equipment operator’s manuals and on product labels.
• Inspect equipment routinely for problems that may cause accidents.
• Discuss safety hazards and emergency procedures with your workers.
• Install approved rollover protective structures, protective enclosures, or protective frames on tractors.
• Make sure that guards on farm equipment are replaced after maintenance.
• Review and follow instructions in material safety data sheets (MSDSs) and on labels that come with chemical products
and communicate information on these hazards to your workers.
Health and Safety Hazards on Farms
Farm workers including farm families and migrant workers are exposed to hazards such as the following:
Danger
Potential Effect or Injury
Prevention
Chemicals/Pesticides

guideline to making your farm life safer. Always consult your Owner/Operators Manual for specific tool and equipment safety requirements.

5
High Risk Factors on Farms
The following factors may increase risk of injury or illness for farm workers:
•Age –Injury rates are highest among children age 15 and under and adults over 65.
•Equipment and Machinery – Most farm accidents and fatalities involve machinery. Proper machine guarding and doing
equipment maintenance according to manufacturers’ recommendations can help prevent accidents.
•Protective Equipment – Using protective equipment, such as seat belts on tractors, and personal protective equipment
(such as safety gloves, coveralls, boots, hats, aprons, goggles, face shields) could significantly reduce farming injuries.
• Take precautions to prevent entrapment and suffocation caused by unstable surfaces of grain storage bins, silos, or
hoppers. Never “walk the grain.”
• Be aware that methane gas, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide can form in unventilated grain silos and
manure pits and can suffocate or poison workers or explode.
• Take advantage of safety equipment, such as bypass starter covers, power take-off master shields, and slow-moving
vehicle emblems.
•Medical Care – Hospitals and emergency medical care are typically not readily accessible in rural areas near farms.
