A tractor with the above recommended weight for your unit is normally adequate for towing the loaded mixer under average conditions. Unit weights include tires & power chute.

TRACTOR PTO HORSEPOWER REQUIREMENTS

PTO horsepower requirements are based on most normal dairy or beef rations. Horsepower require- ments may vary depending on the ration or material to be mixed.

The PTO horsepower requirements shown may not reflect adequate tractor size for towing the mixer, refer to tractor weight requirements for these recommenda- tions and transporting safety precautions for additional tractor and towing requirements.

DRAWBAR ATTACHING SYSTEM

Adjust tractor drawbar and/or the mixer clevis hitch so that the mixer is approximately level. The top of the drawbar should be

8 - 12" below the tractor PTO shaft. Adjust the drawbar horizontally so that the hitch pin hole is (14” - 16") 14” for 540 RPM 1-3/8” DIA., 16” for 1000 RPM 1-3/8” DIA. 21 spline and 16” for 1000 RPM 1-3/4” DIA. 20 spline behind the tractor PTO and drawbar is centered and locked into place. Knight Manufacturing does not recommend or authorize PTO adapters.

HYDRAULIC REQUIREMENTS

Dual hydraulic outlets are required for operating the door and the slide tray or power chute. If your tractor has only a single set of ports, then the manual diverter or electric selector valve option should be ordered. If the power chute is used, the tractor hydraulic system must supply a minimum of 15 GPM at 2000 PSI. On units with power chute option, the chute hoses may be difficult to connect due to the chute weight on the lift cylinder. Lift weight off chute cylinder to connect hoses.
