Tractor Hook-Up

Refer to Figure 1-2:

2.Back tractor up to tiller until lower 3-Point links are aligned with hitch clevises on tiller.

3.Secure the tractor’s 3-Point lower links to the lower hitch clevises using 7/8" diameter hitch pins.

5.Adjust the tractor’s 3-Point hitch lift height so that the tiller tines are not lifted more than 14 inches off the ground to prevent damage to the driveline u-joints.
