Buhler 2425, 2335, 2290 Drawbar with Manual Hitch PIN, Proper Drawbar PIN Latch Operation, 113

SECTION 2 - OPERATION

It is recommended that the drawbar be pinned in position at all times. On occasion, it may be necessary to allow the drawbar to swing freely for implements that place side loads on the rear of the tractor. The drawbar can be used in a swinging application but may require replacement of the drawbar wear block after extended use.

Clevis-type implement hitches should be connected only to the lower plate of the drawbar. Other hitches should be connected between the plates as shown on the decal on top of the drawbar wear block.

DRAWBAR WITH MANUAL HITCH PIN

All Models are manufactured with a 50.8 mm (2″) drawbar pin, 1.

The tractor can have a kit installed to convert it to the 38.1 mm (1-1/2″) drawbar pin.

The drawbar pin, regardless of size, is retained in place using a latch, 2, that locks the pin in place. The 38.1 mm (1-1/2″) pin also has a click pin installed at the bottom of the pin.

To remove the drawbar pin from the drawbar, lift the front side of the latch, 1, and pull the pin from the drawbar. Reinstall the pin and pivot the latch forward to lock the pin in place.

CAUTION: NEVER ATTACH AN IMPLEMENT TO THE DRAWBAR IF THE DRAWBAR PIN LATCH IS DAMAGED OR MISSING. REPAIR OR REPLACE THE LATCH.

CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW MATERIAL BUILDUP IN THE DRAWBAR PIN AREA SO THAT THE MATERIAL CAN INTERFERE WITH

PROPER DRAWBAR PIN LATCH OPERATION.
