6. CONNECTING THE IMPLEMENT TO THE TRACTOR
Use extreme caution when connecting the Implement to the tractor. The implement should be securely resting
at ground level or setting on blocks. Keep hands and feet from under the implement frame and clear of pinch
points between the tractor hitch arms and implement pins.
Crushing hazard between tractor and implement can occur. Do not allow anyone to stand
between tractor and implement while backing up to an implement, Do not operate hydraulic
3-point lift controls while someone is directly behind the tractor or near the Disc Harrow.
Parking jack attachment pin (2) must be fully inserted and secured before working on or
around a Disc Harrow that is not hooked to the tractor.
6.1 Connecting the Disc Harrow
1. Make certain parking jack (1) is properly
attached to implement hitch and secured with
detent pin (2).
2. Pivot clevis hitch up horizontally.
3. Back tractor within close proximity of clevis.
4. Raise or lower parking hack (1) to align clevis
with tractor drawbar. Drawbar should fit
between lower and upper plates of clevis.
5. Back tractor up to implement hitch until holes in
drawbar and clevis are aligned.
6. Insert two 1-1/4” flatwashers (3) equally above
and below tractor drawbar until both spaces
between drawbar and clevis plates are filled
This will reduce drawbar wear.
7. Insert 1-1/4”-7 x 6-1/2” GR5 hex bolt (4 through
bottom clevis hole, 1-1/4” washers (3), drawbar,
remaining 1-1/4” washers (3) and out through
lower clevis hole. Secure hex bolt with hex nut
(5) and jam nut (6). Tighten hex nut snugly to
remove all play and then back one-quarter turn.
Tighten jam nut tight against hex nut.
Start tractor only when properly seated in the Tractor seat. Starting a
tractor in gear can result in injury or death. Read the Tractor operators
manual for proper starting instructions.
(SG-13)
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the
parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement
and Tractor hitches.
