10. 3-POINT HITCH AND DRAWBAR
Ex2900 / 3200 Operator's Manual
Avoid injury:
●Only hitch a towed load to the drawbar to avoid tip
over. NEVER use the safety chain to tow a load.
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage.
●ALWAYS secure the towed implement to the drawbar.
The safety chain is intended to control the towed
implement if it is accidentally disconnected from the
drawbar.
●ALWAYS use a chain whose strength is rated greater
than the gross weight of the towed implement.
●ALWAYS replace or repair the safety chain if any of the
chain links or connectors are broken, elongated or
damaged.
1. Use appropriate adapter parts to connect the safety
chain to the tractor drawbar support and to the towed
implement. Provide sufficient slack to allow for turning.
2. Mount additional attaching points for the safety chain
on the drawbar to eliminate excessive slack as
necessary.
3. Remove and store the safety chain when it is not in
use.

NOTE:
●For safety purposes, any implements or trailers towed
by the tractor drawbar should be equipped with a safety
chain in case of accidental uncoupling of the implement
from the tractor. The tensile strength of the chain should
be greater than weight of the implement or trailer, fully
loaded. A chain shackle of the same or greater strength
of the safety chain can be added to the tractor drawbar
bracket. This will allow the implement or trailer safety
chain to be attached to the tractor. Purchase and install
the chain shackle to the drawbar bracket for safety
purposes.
