SECTION 2 - OPERATION

IMPLEMENT HOOK-UP

3-Point Hitch Implements

IMPORTANT: Before hitching implements to the 3-point hitch, be sure that the implement is compatible with the tractor hitch.

CAUTION: BE SURE THAT NO ONE IS BETWEEN THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT WHEN BACKING UP THE TRACTOR.

Before attaching 3-point hitch implements, be sure that the drawbar does not interfere when the implement is raised or lowered.

CAUTION: SHUT THE TRACTOR OFF WHEN HOOKING UP AN IMPLEMENT.

1.Back the tractor so that the lower link hitch points are even with the implement connections.

2.Connect the lower links to the implement with the correct size hitch pins and secure with klick pins.

3.Adjust the upper link length and setting on the link bracket. Connect the link to the implement with the hitch pin and lock with klick pins.

IMPORTANT: The hitch pins must fit snugly into the connection points. If loose, the implement and tractor have different hitch dimensions. Verify the correct hitch category.

4.Level the implement.

5.Install sway blocks and shims as required.

Semi-integral Implements

1.Large rear-mounted equipment is usually connected to the two lower lift links only.

2.Attach the implement in the same manner as a 3-point hitch implement, but do not connect the upper link. The lower links lift the implement front, and a remote hydraulic cylinder lifts the rear.

3.See the “Hydraulic System Operation” earlier in this section for information on the connection of hydraulics to lift semi-integral implements.

CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING IMPLEMENTS MOUNTED TO THE 3-POINT HITCH, BE SURE THAT THE IMPLEMENT IS PROPERLY SUPPORTED WITH BLOCKING.
