Hitching up the SW-version
When connecting a Sprinter/Pronto SW, a ball-
and-socket coupling or a swinging drawbar
hitching is mounted on the rear end of the seed
wagon.
On the ball head coupling the hold-down must
be correctly adjusted in order to reduce the
wear of the coupling and to prevent damage to
the machine.
