OPERATION

5.2 3-Point Quick Hitch

Our 3-Point Quick Hitch is designed to connect to a Quick-Attach Coupler making mounting and dismounting your mower easier. The 3-Point Quick Hitch is also designed to connect the cutter to a tractor’s three-point linkage without the use of a Quick-Attach Coupler.

5.3 Connecting Mower - Lift Type (Quick Hitch)

Crushing Hazard between Quick-Hitch and Implement. Do not allow anyone to stand between the Quick-Hitch and implement during hook-up operations. Never operate the hydraulic 3-point lift controls while someone is directly behind the tractor.

1.Make certain the implement’s upper and lower hitch pins are secured.

2.Lower the tractor’s 3-point lift until the three Quick-Hitch hooks are lower than the implements hitch pins. Carefully back the tractor to align the Quick-Hitch hooks under the implement’s hitch pins.

3.Slowly raise the tractor’s 3-point lift until the

lower Quick-hitch hooks lock into place over the implement’s 3-point hitch pins.

IMPORTANT: Make certain the implement’s top 3- point hitch pin is captured by the Quick-Hitch top 3- point hook. If not consult your Quick Hitch manual for required adjustment.

IMPORTANT: The Quick Hitch will move mower further from tractor which will require checking the following:

1.Driveline length

2.Tractor stability

NOTE: Offset Adapter Hitches are available to position the mower to the left or right. Mowers with Offset Adapter Hitches connect to the 3-point hitch the same way as the mower A-frame. See Offset Adapter Hitch in the Assembly Section for details to equip the mower with this feature.
