Equipment
Ring drawbar
This is attached near the tractor’s rear axle. Before engaging the tractor
PTO (Power take-off ), make sure the drawbar pin is fi rmly in place and
secured, and that the tractor’s wheels do not touch the mistblower
when turning.
There needs to be a CV joint on the side of the tractor. The length of
the drawbar can be adjusted (see section “Adjusting the length of the
drawbar”).
Fork drawbar
This is attached to a transversal hole boom fi ttet to tractor’s lift arms.
Before engaging the tractor PTO make sure the drawbar pin is fi rmly
in place and secured, and that the tractor’s wheels do not touch the
mistblower when turning.
A CV joint is not required. The length of the drawbar can be adjusted
(see section “Adjusting the length of the drawbar”).
Turnable drawbar
This is attached to the tractor’s lift arms. Before engaging the tractor
PTO make sure the diameter of the shaft fi ts the ball couplers at the lift
arms. Also make sure to fi t the securing pins and check that the tractor’s
wheels do not touch the mistblower when turning.
This type of coupling allows narrow turns, if a CV joint is fi tted at the mist
blower’s power intake. The length of the drawbar can be adjusted (see
section “Adjusting the length of the drawbar”).
The turnable drawbars, model X and Y are fi tted under the rear axle of
the tractor, a common arrangement on smaller fruit orchard models of
tractors. Important that the two stop bolt are tighten up, to avoid slack
Angle transmission shaft fi tted. Tight turns with PTO engaged
may damage the transmission shaft, the pump crank shaft and
induce huge vibrations through the gearbox. This may lead to
severe damages on gearbox and/or fan.
