Factory Direct Tractors
Operating Instructions
5.6.2 Points for attention:
1. Move the control handle to neutral position
immediately after the linkage is fully lifted to avoid
activating the hydraulic relief valve.
2. Release the response control wheel by
screwing it anti clockwise to the desired linkage
speed. Remember the linkage wont work with the
response wheel screwed right down.
3. Attaching implement to the tractor. Back the
tractor up to the implement as square as possible.
Adjust the lift arms to be close in height to the
mounting points on the implement. Having the
tractor linkage a little lower may be an advantage
at times as they can be lifted a little by hand while
aligning the attachment pins. Ensure the mount
pins are securely locked with lynch pins. Keep a
few spare lynch pins on hand as they are easy to
misplace or lose.
Adjust the top link to the correct length and attach
it in position with a top link pin.
4. Adjusting the lift linkage Use the top link to adjust
and level the implement front to back.
The lift arm levering assemblies can be adjusted
individually to level the implement side to side.
Make sure you tighten the linkage locknuts to
secure the adjusted position of the lift arm levelling
assembly. The adjustable stabiliser links can now
be set to allow minimal sideways movement. A
properly adjusted implement will make working
more enjoyable and efficient and ensure the least
amount of wear and damage can occur while the
implement is in operation.
5.6.3 Points for attention:
1. NEVER adjust the top link and the left and right
vertical arms to the minimum length at the same
time, otherwise the implement may lift too high
causing damage to the cabin or driver when it is
rising to the highest position.
2. To avoid activating the hydraulic relief safety
valve, never move the control handle backward
after the implement reaches the highest position
and gets neutralized automatically.
3. Lift implements, especially tillage equipment
before driving off or turning.
4. Do not manoeuvre or turn the tractor while a
ripper tyne is in the ground. Lift the ripper – or
other implement first
5. Make sure the implements fit the tractor well and
there is no interference to the implements lifting or
lowering.
6. Avoid dragging implements along roads or
across paddocks. Use a slow gear for traversing
rough paddocks to avoid implements from shaking
violently. This will improve the longevity of both
tractor and implements.
5.6.4 Towing and dragging operations
1. Use the drawbar supplied with the tractor.
The drawbar is equipped with a clevis and clevis
pin and can be used with the clevis up, down or
removed to suit the requirements. Mounting holes
are provided along its length to provide a range of
adjustments to suit the application.
It is recommended to remove the drawbar when
not in use and store it in the shed for use when
needed.
2. Ensure the tractor has sufficient ballast to
control the trailer/implement in the environment
and conditions it is being operated in. Make certain
the tractor is not overloaded with ballast.
5.6.5 Operating the PTO
1. The two speed PTO provides standard 540 as
well as higher rpm. The PTO control is a three
position lever. Push the lever forward for 540rpm,
and rearward for higher rpm with neutral in
between.
2. Most PTO driven implements in Australia are
designed to run at 540rpm. Do not run higher speed
PTO rpm unless it is specified by the implement
manufacturer.
3. Engage the PTO by fully depressing the clutch
and shifting the PTO control lever forward or back
to the desired rpm rating. Release the clutch slowly
when driving an implement then increase the
tractor engine rpm to operating speed. An over-run
clutch is required when driving a slasher fitted to a
tractor equipped with a single stage clutch.
4. Ensure the tractor is firmly secured with the
park brake engaged when carrying out stationary
operations, such as wood chipping, log splitting
and using the backhoe.
