COMMISSIONING
8.1 Agregation to a tractor
• The machine can be connected only to a tractor, whose curb weight is identical or higher than
the overall weight of the connected machine.
• The machine operator must observe all generally valid regulations of work safety, health
protection, fire safety, and environmental protection.
• The operator may connect the machine exclusively to a tractor that is equipped with a rear
three-point suspension and a functional undamaged hydraulic system.
• The machine is to be coupled using the TPS 3 three-point suspension.
• Before aggregating the machine with the tractor (especially with those not provided with a
quick suspension device), the operator must secure the tractor against undesirable movement.
Especially with tractors not provided with a quick suspension device, the operator should
arrange for another trained person to cooperate. Such a person must not step into the
suspension area before the tractor is secured against undesirable movement. With tractors
provided with a quick suspension device, this operation can be made by the operator from the
tractor driver's seat.
• The table of requirements for the towing means for work with the machine:
Requirement for the tractor engine power for DG 3 N 110 – 150 kW (147 – 201 HP)
Requirement for the tractor engine power for DG 5 N 180 – 240 kW (241 – 322 HP)
Requirement for the tractor engine power for DG 7 N 250 – 340 kW (335 – 456 HP)
Requirement for
the tractor's TPS
Spacing of the lower
suspension joints (measured
at the joint axes)
TPS 3
1010 +/- 1,5 mm (870 +/- 1,5 mm)
ø of the hole of the lower
suspension joints for the
machine suspension pivots TPS 3
37,4 - 37,75 mm( 28,7 – 29,03 mm)
ø of the hole of the upper
suspension joint for the
machine suspension pivot TPS 3 32,0 – 32,25 mm (25,7 – 25,91 mm)
• The machine aggregated with the tractor changes the distribution of the weight to the
individual axles of the tractor. The weight of the front axle is reduced and therefore the
controllability gets worse. It also affects braking properties.
• For safety reasons, the loading capacity of the axles, the tires and the tractor suspension must
be kept. It is necessary to observe identical category of the tool suspension and three-point
mounting of the tractor. Use only the weights prescribed by the tractor manufacturer for
balancing.
When connecting, no persons may stay in the space between the
tractor and the machine.
