Tractor Requirements
Figure 129
The chart [Figure 129] lists the minimum tractor PTO hp
(with 540 rpm PTO) and approximate hydraulic pressure
for lift.
The 12” Backsaver Auger will require a tractor, three
auxiliary hydraulic functions, Category IV rated drawbar.
The tractor must be equipped with a 6 - spline, 1-3/8 inch
PTO shaft when used with the 12” Backsaver Auger.
The tractor / tow vehicle towing capacity must be to
transport the specified auger model.
Drawbar Adjustment
Figure 130
Adjust the tractor’s drawbar in / out, until the center of the
hitch pin hole (Item 1)
[Figure 130] is 14 inches (357
mm) from the end of the tractor’s PTO shaft. See your
tractor’s owner’s manual for correct adjustment
procedures.
NOTE: A tractor hitch of less than 16” minimum will
result in PTO bottoming out, when operating
auger at maximum height.
Figure 131
The distance between the tractor and the auger PTO
shaft should be between 36 - 38 in. (914 - 965 mm) with
the tractor and auger on level ground and the auger in full
down position. This distance is obtained by either
adjusting the tractor hitch, the auger hitch or both
[Figure
131] .
