5.1 Connecting the Hay Tedder
The attachment of pull-type machines to the tractor
is very simple, as it is only necessary to couple the
drawbar hitch to the tractor hitch using a pin of
appropriate size, strength and shape. Always use
extreme care when reversing the tractor towards
the machine.
Once the implement is hitched to the tractor, the
drawbar parking stand (6) must be raised from the
parking position. To do this, remove clip (8) and pin
(7), and rotate the parking stand so that it is
paralleled with drawbar (1). Fasten into the new
position using pin (7) and clip (8). Once this
procedure is completed, insert the quick-release
coupling into the tractor socket.
5.2 Safety Tow Chain
If the mower is towed on a public roadway, a safety chain with tensile strength equal to or greater than the
gross weight of the mower must be connected between the tractor and mower. This will help control the
implement in the event the tongue becomes disconnected from the drawbar. Make sure the chain is attached
to a secure location on the tractor and not to an intermediate support.
After connecting both ends of the safety chain, drive the tractor to the right and left to check for proper chain
length. Adjust length as necessary and allow only enough slack in the chain to make a maximum turn in both
directions. When not in use, store the safety chain to protect it from mud or standing water by wrapping the
chain around the tongue. Replace the safety chain if one or more links or end fittings are broken, stretched or
otherwise damaged or deformed.
OPS-U-0039
Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted
component unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up
to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious
injury or even death.
