3-Point Tractor Hookup

!DANGER!

Tractor hook-up can be hazardous to your health or that of your helper. Do not allow anyone to stand between the cutter and the tractor during hook-up operations. Do not operate the hydrau- lic 3-point lift controls while someone is directly behind the tractor.

Refer to Figure 1-5:

1.Locate the cutter on a flat, level surface.

2.Determine the hitch category of the tractor that will be used:

A Category I tractor will have a lower hitch link hole diameter of 7/8". The top link hole diameter (implement end) will be 3/4".

A Category II tractor will have a lower hitch link

hole diameter of 1 1/8". The top link hole diameter (imple- ment end) will be 1".

3.Slowly back the tractor up to the cutter and use the tractors 3- point hydraulic control to adjust the lower link arms up or down to match the height of the cutter hitch pins.

! DANGER!

Engage parking brake, shut off tractor and remove key before dismounting from the tractor.

4. If the tractor is a Category I, simply position the lower link arms to "insert" the hitch pin into the lower hitch link hole. If the tractor is Category II, install the adaptor bushing on the hitch pin before insertion into the lower link hole. (Adapter bushing not required on RC2584 and all RC35 series rotary cutters.)
