The hitch (A) can be adjusted to various heights between 380 and 560 mm (15 and 22 in.).
Before hitching the machine, ensure that the
tractor's front axle is sufficiently weighted. The
load on the front axle must be at least 20% of the
empty weight of the tractor.
Place ballast weights on the supports provided in
accordance
with the tractor manufacturer’s
instructions.
To adjust the height of the hitch:
1. Remove the mounting bolts from the hitch.
2. Adjust the height of the hitch on the bale carrier frame to align with the desired holes.
3. Put the mounting bolts back in the hitch.

adjust the jack height:
1. Hitch the bale carrier to the tractor.
2. Remove the mounting bolts from the jack.
