for use.
Preparation Checklist
Read and understand “
Check that all working parts are moving freely,
bolts are tight, and cotter pins are spread.
Check that all grease fittings are in place and
lubricated. See “
Connect any seed or fertilizer hoses
disconnected for storage.
Check that all safety decals and reflectors are
correctly located and legible. Replace if
damaged. See “

tighten wheel bolts as specified. See “
Serious Machine Damage Risk
Make sure that caster locks are not
engaged when operating machine in the
field. Serious damage can be done to the
machine if attempting to steer side-to-side
with caster locks engaged.
Hitching Drill to Tractor
Crushing Hazard
You may be severely injured or killed by
being crushed between the tractor and
drill. Do not stand or place any part of your
body between drill and moving tractor. Stop
tractor engine and set park brake before
installing hitch pins.
This drill is a semi-mounted 3-point category II hitch
implement.
Hitch Extension
Falling Object Hazard
There is no top link on the drill to prevent the
extension hitch from tipping forward with
risk of serious injury, or backward causing
machine damage.
Never mount an extension hitch by itself on
the drill.
If no hitch extension is required, skip to step 1.
On tractors with oversize tires, or unusual wheel
bases, the rear tractor tires may be too close to, or
touch drill components when directly hitched. A hitch
extension kit is available (page 56).
The extension hitch is compatible with most standard
quick hitches.
Equipment Damage Risk
Great Plains CPH, PFH or SSH accessory
hitches are not compatible with the
3P1006NT.
Mount the extension hitch on the tractor before
hitching to the drill.
1.
Use a lift or hoist to bring the extension hitch
upright and lift it high enough to engage with the
lower arms of the tractor 3-point.
2. Align the top link (1) with the tractor top link arm,
and secure with a pin provided with the extension
hitch. The lift or hoist may be removed.
3. Adjust the tractor top link as needed, and swing
the extension until the lower links (2) are aligned
with the tractor’s lower arms. Secure with pins
provided with the extension hitch.
The rear top link (3) is unused. It provides a
lifting point. Use a lower hitch pin from the
drill as needed.
