8.2 Connecting the Hopper to the Tractor 

The Claydon Front Hopper is mounted on any CATII or CATIIN compatible three point linkage, 
the linkage pins can be found located on the hopper however the CATII balls are not supplied.   

Connect the main power cable supplied directly to the battery terminals. Ensure the routing of 
the cable can’t be caught or damaged in any way. All connections including the hydraulic 
hoses are displayed in Figure 2. THE HYDRAULIC FREE FLOW SERVICE 

MUST

 BE PLUGGED IN PRIOR 

TO THE HOPPER BEING OPERATED.
