USING THE THREE POINT HITCH

WARNING: Always disengage the PTO, stop the engine, and set the parking brake before dismounting the tractor to connect, disconnect, or adjust three point hitch mounted implements.

Use the rear three point hitch system to attach three point mounted implements, which are normally driven by the rear PTO. Using the position control feature of the tractor’s hydraulic lift system, the three point hitch system provides for variable positioning of the implement as well as allowing the implement to be fully raised for transport.

Read the ADJUSTMENTS section for instructions on adjusting the RH adjustable lift link, upper hitch link, and hitch chain. See Figure 22.

USING THE AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC VALVE

This tractor is equipped with an auxiliary hydraulic valve package. This package provides two hydraulic circuits for operating optional equipment that can be installed on the tractor.

The male and female hydraulic couplers, located beneath the right running board, are marked with color coded washers that should match the color coded hydraulic lines of Cub Cadet equipment. See Figure 23.

IMPORTANT: If color coding is not present, note that the inner hydraulic couplers represent one hydraulic circuit and the outer couplers the other. Do not cross connect circuits when connecting hydraulic lines of optional equipment.

USING THE HITCH PLATE

Use only the hitch plate and drawbar (Refer to Fig- ure 22), for towing pull-behind equipment (carts, trailers, etc.) or dragging loads.

Raise the lower links of the three point hitch to their highest position to prevent interference with the towed equipment.

IMPORTANT: When transporting pull-behind equipment on public roadways, always use a safety chain to supplement the connection between the tractor and towed equipment. The safety chain must have a strength rating equal to or greater than the gross weight of the equip- ment being towed.

Using the Auxiliary Hydraulic Control Handle

Use the auxiliary hydraulic control handle located on the right fender as follows:

•Pull the handle rearward to raise the front hitch or front loader boom. See Figure 24.

•Push the handle forward to lower front hitch or front loader boom. Refer to Figure 24.

•Push the handle fully forward until it locks in the detent position to place the front hitch or front loader boom in the float position.

•Push the handle to the right to angle (if equipped) the front hitch to the right or dump the loader bucket. Refer to Figure 24.

•Pull the handle to the left to angle (if equipped) the front hitch to the left or roll back the loader bucket.
