Ball Hitch Hook-up

DANGER

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  
Tractor hook-up to equipment is dangerous and can result in 

serious injury or death. 

Do not

 allow anyone to stand between 

tractor and spreader while backing-up to implement. 

WARNING

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  

Ballast weights may be required to maintain steering 

control. Refer to your tractor’s operator’s manual to 

determine proper ballast requirements.

Engage parking brake, shut off tractor and remove switch 

key before dismounting from tractor. 

Do not fill hopper until hitch is secured to a machine such 

as a tractor or vehicle. Hitch can become too difficult to 

raise and lower to connect to a machine causing bodily 

injury or death.

The Broadcast Spreader can have negative tongue weight if 

hopper is tilted back pass center of gravity or if hitch is 

raised too high tilting hopper pass center of gravity.

Chock front and back of wheels before unhitching to 

prevent spreader from rolling and causing property damage 

and/or bodily injury.

Release handle on the ball hitch must be fully down, locked 

in the down position with a retaining pin, and retaining pin 

secured with pin retainer to prevent hitch from coming 

unhooked.

CAUTION

!

To avoid minor or moderate injury:  
Keep hands, fingers, and other bodily extremities out from 

under the hitch handle and ball socket while lowering hitch 

over the ball.
