HITCHING THE FORAGE HARVESTER TO THE
TRACTOR - FIGURE 126
The tractor drawbar (item 1) must be centered and
aligned with the telescopic power-take-off (PTO) (item
2). Align the telescopic PTO (item 2) and the tractor PTO
(item 5) with the Forage Harvester universal joints (item
3) by adjusting the height of the eight-bolt hitch bracket
(item 4).
Make sure distance “A” of the PTO rotating guard is
greater than “zero” when tractor is at its maximum turn-
ing angle. To increase the turning angle, lengthen tractor
drawbar within the range of measure “B” of 20” (50cm)
to 24” (60cm). If the draw bar is not long enough, use the
optional hitch extension.
CAUTION: Attach a safety chain (item 6) with
a minimum capacity of 20,000 lbs (9071 kg) for
transportation.
