Hitch Types

Figure 1-4

Swivel Clevis Hitch

The swivel clevis hitch allows the cutter to pivot about the tractor drawbar freely in two directions. It is designed for cutting hillsides, reducing the twisting torque on the cutter hitch and tractor drawbar. Hitch swivel is greaseable.

Bar-Tite Clevis Hitch

The Bar-Tite clevis hitch functions the same as the swivel clevis hitch except it is constructed of case hardened steel and has a bushing in the tongue to extend hitch life. Bushing and hitch swivel are greaseable.

Tractor Hook-up to Swivel Clevis Hitch

!DANGER!

Crushing Hazard between tractor and implement. Do not allow anyone to stand between the tractor and implement while backing-up to an implement. Never operate the hydraulic

3-point lift controls while someone is directly behind the tractor.

Refer to Figure 1-5:

IMPORTANT: Jack attachment pin (#8) must be fully inserted and secured before working on or around a cutter that is not hooked to the tractor drawbar.

1.Make certain the parking jack (#3) is properly at- tached to the cutter hitch and secured with attachment pin (#8).

2.Back tractor within close proximity of cutter clevis (#11).

3.Raise or lower the parking jack (#3) to align clevis (#11) with the tractor drawbar. Drawbar should fit between lower and upper plates of clevis.

4.Back tractor up to cutter hitch until holes in the drawbar and clevis (#11) are aligned.

5.Insert 1" flat washers (#9) equally above and below tractor drawbar until both spaces between drawbar and clevis plates are filled.

6.Insert 1" x 5" gr5 hex bolt (#1) through top of clevis (#11), 1" washers (#9), drawbar, remaining 1" washers (#9) and out through bottom of clevis (#11). Secure hex bolt with nut (#2). Tighten nut snugly to remove all play and then back nut one-quarter turn. Tighten jamb nut (#10) against nut (#2).

7.Lower jack stand (#3) until hitch weight is removed. Remove jack stand from hitch and store on left hand deck wing storage base or weight box. Prevent water and freeze damage by storing it so that the foot is level or lower than the head, especially when the wing is folded up.

8.Attach hitch safety chain (#4) to the tractor. Adjust chain length to remove all slack except what is necessary to permit turning. Lock chain hook securely to the safety chain.
