WARNING:
!
Do not transport or attach the implement when the hydraulic system is in Draft Control.
Always use Position Control for these operations.
Attaching implement to the three-point linkage
move back the tractor to the implement aligning the ends of lower links (8, 9 - Fig. 4.6.1) with the
implement hitch pins,
using the Lift Control levers (9, 10 - Fig. 3.2.), raise or lower the linkage until the left hand lower
link ball end is in line with the left hand hitch pin of the implement,
apply the parking brake and stop the engine,
position the end of the left hand lever link over the implement hitch pin and secure with a linchpin,
as required adjust the height of the right hand lower link (12 - Fig. 4.6.1) with the leveling handle
(11 - Fig. 4.6.1) and attach to the implement hitch pin,
attach the top link (2 - Fig. 4.6.1) to a selected connection of the lift rocker and then to the
implement cross shaft adjusting its length as necessary,
adjust the lift rods to their normal operating length, until the implement is level (in perpendicular
plane),
adjust the top link to its normal operating length, until the implement is level (in longitudinal
plane),
adjust the stabilizer bars for side swing,
NOTE:
When attaching mounted or semi mounted equipment to the three-point linkage, or when
coupling trailed equipment to the drawbar, ensure that there is adequate clearance
between the implement and the tractor. The clearance in the raised position should be
checked by raising the implement carefully in Position Control. Check the swing clearance
by performing a series of left and right hand turns with the tractor and implement
combination.
Detaching the implement
select level and firm ground to detach the implement and lower the implement to the ground,
apply the parking brake and stop the engine,
ensure all hydraulic pressure is relieved,
turn the leveling lever control to level the implement with the ground, if needed,
support the implement so that it will not tip or fall when detached from the tractor,
detach the top link and lower links from the implement frame.
WARNING:
Never tow implements attaching to the hydraulic lift rocker
4.7. Attaching trailed machines and implements.
Apart from the three-point hitch (Fig 4.6.2), the machines and implements can be attached to:
upper transportation hitch (for 2-axle trailers),
tractor drawbar,
multi-hole drawbar.
Upper transportation hitch
(1 - Fig. 4.6.2)
– is used for hitching a two-axle trailers. Secure the hitch
attaching pin with a cotter. This hitch must be detached when attaching implements to the three-point
hitch. To disconnect the hitch move out pin (3 - Fig. 4.6.2)
NOTE:
This hitch must be detached when attaching implements to the three-point hitch.
