AGGREGATION 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. 

Tabl.4 – The table of requirements for the towing means for work with the machine: 

(5)

 Requirement for the tractor engine power for disc plough-harrow

SOFTER 15 PS

 

120-150 kW 

(5)

 Requirement for the tractor engine power for disc plough-harrow 

SOFTER 20 PS

 

150-220 kW 

(6)

 Requirement for the tractor's TPS

 

(7)

Spacing  of  the  lower  suspension  joints 

(measured at the joint axes)

 

1010±1,5 mm, 

(

possible to set also 

910±1,5 

mm) 

(8

)

 of the hole of the lower suspension joints 

for the machine suspension pivots

 

37,5 mm 

(9)

  Requirement  for  the  tractor's  hydraulic 

system

 

(10)

Side frame folding circuit 

(14)

 Circuit pressure 200 bar,  

2 pcs of quick-coupler 

sockets ISO 12,5

 

(11)

Axle lifting circuit

 

(15)

 Circuit pressure 200 bar,  

2 pcs of quick-coupler 

sockets ISO 12,5

 

Rollers lifting circuit

  

(15)

 Circuit pressure 200 bar,  

2 pcs of quick-coupler 

sockets ISO 12,5

 

 

Connect the machine using the TPS suspension bar to the lower arms of the rear TPS of the tractor, secure 
the TPS arms using pins against disconnecting. 

 

When  connecting,  no  persons  may  stay  in  the  space  between  the  tractor  and  the 
machine. 

 

3.2.

 

HYDRAULICS CONNECTION 

 

Connect the hydraulics only when the hydraulic circuits of the machine and the tractor (aggregate) are in a 
pressure-less condition. 

 

The hydraulic system is under high pressure. Regularly check for leaks and immediately remove obvious 
damage of all lines, hoses, and pipe unions. 

 

When seeking and removing leaks, use only the suitable tools. 

 

For connecting the hydraulic system of the machine to the tractor, use the plug (on the machine) and the 
socket (on the tractor) of the quick-couplers of the same type. Connect the machine quick-coupling units 
to the tractor hydraulic circuits in such manner that the 

RED DUST CAPS

 side frame folding are on one 

control  circuit,  the 

YELLOW  DUST  CAPS

  roller  machine  lifting  on  the  second  control  unit  and  the 

GREEN DUST CAPS

 axle machine lifting on the third control circuit.

YELLOW DUST CAPS 

- control of the rollers 

 

1  TAPE 

–  drawing  out  roller  piston-rods  =>  shallowing  the 

machine 

 

2 TAPES 

– drawing in roller piston-rods => recess of the machine 

 

GREEN DUST CAPS

1 TAPE 

– drawing in axle piston-rods => Machine positioning 

 

2 TAPES 

– drawing out axle piston-rods => Machine lifting 

 

In  order  to  prevent  accidental  or  foreign  person 
(children,  passengers)  caused  movement  of  the 
hydraulics, the control switchboards on the tractor must 
be secured or blocked in the transport position.
