Locking The Hitch

The 3-point hitch can be locked in the raised position. When a rear attachment is locked in the raised position, the tractor's on-board hydraulic cylinder can be used to lift mid mounted attachments without having to remove the rear attachment. For example, if a tractor equipped with a tiller is to be used for mowing, the tiller can be locked in the raised position allowing the mower to be installed and used.

To lock the 3-point hitch in the raised position:

1.Raise the attachment lift.

2.Remove the locking rod from its storage position (A, Figure 11) and insert it below the hitch arms in the locking position (B).

3.Secure with a hair pin clip.
