The coupler (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.

the
tractor
manufacturer’s
instructions.
To adjust the height of the coupler:
1. Remove the mounting bolts from the coupler.
2. Adjust the height of the coupler on the trailer frame to align with the desired holes.
3. Put the mounting bolts back in the coupler.
