SAFETY CHAIN

When towing equipment on a highway, use a safety chain as an auxiliary connection between the tractor and the towed equipment. The safety chain must have a rating greater than the gross load of the towed equipment. Connect the chain to the tractor drawbar support and the towed equipment as shown in the illustration. Check the adjustment of the safety chain by turning the tractor completely to the right and left. Adjust the chain as necessary.

Three Point Hitch System

The three point hitch system gives position control of implements. This tractor is equipped with a category I hitch.

The three-point hitch dimensions are shown in the following table.

Implement identification Dimensions

A - Gap in top of implement mast

B - Diameter of holes in top of Implement mast

C - Diameter of hitch pins

D - Lower Hitch Pin Inner Shoulder Spread

Cat I Implement mm (3/4 inch) mm (7/8 inch)

Hitch System Adjustments

The upper and lower links must be adjusted correctly so the implement can work at the needed depth and the links are free to move up and down with the shape of the ground.

LOWER LINKS

Lift Links

TURN BUCKLE

M14, 4 BOLTS M12, 4 BOLTS

1. C onnect the lift links to the tractor and to the lower links. Make sure the lift links are installed on the proper side as shown.

2. The RH side lift link is adjustable by the turnbuckle to obtain the desired position of the hitch point. Turn the turnbuckle clockwise to shorten the link or counterclockwise to lengthen the link.

IMPORTANT: After the lift link is adjusted, make sure the locknut is tightened against the turnbuckle.

Upper Link

The length A of the upper link can be adjusted from 446 to 695 mm (17.6 to 27.4 inches).

Turn the turnbuckle clockwise to shorten the link or counterclockwise to lengthen the link.

IMPORTANT: After the upper link is correctly adjusted, make sure the lock nut is tightened against the turnbuckle.

When side movement of the hitch is undesirable or hazardous, the lateral swing is adjusted by the turnbuckle on the stabilizer. Turn the turnbuckle clockwise to lengthen the stabilizer or counterclockwise to shorten the stabilizer.

IMPORTANT: After making final adjustments carefully raise the implement to make sure that there is proper clearance between the implement and tractor components.

NOTE: Make sure the lock pin is installed after adjusting the stabilizer.
