3-POINT HITCH
3-point hitch combines Tractor and implement into
one working unit. Implement position and raising are
controlled hydraulically. In addition, implement weight
and loads impose downward pressure at Tractor rear
wheels to increase traction.
Hitch Controls
FIG. 4-14:
Control quadrant, to right of operator’s
seat, controls the system to provide the following hitch
control functions:
Position Control
- Maintains hitch position at constant
height in relation to the Tractor. As position control
lever, 1, is moved backward, hitch and implement are
raised. Moving lever forward will lower hitch to se-
lected position. Each lever setting provides a specific
hitch and implement position.
CAUTION: Use position control lever, 1,
when attaching or detaching implements.
FIG. 4-15:
Lowering Rate Control - Knob, 1, controls
“rate of drop” of 3 point linkage and implement. Turn
knob clock wise to slow drop rate, counterclockwise
to increase drop rate. Turning knob fully clockwise will
lock implement in raised position.
CAUTION: When working on or around
mounted implements, always lower to
ground prior to work. If implement must
be raised, always block implement and
lower links securely.
Rear Linkage
FIG. 4-16:
Linkage consists of several major compo-
nents for implement attachment and operation:
Lower Links, 1
- Primary attaching points to lower
implement pins.
Lift Rods, 2
- Connect lower links to hydraulic lift
arms for raising/lowering of lower links. The lift rod
connected to the right lower link has provisions for
leveling the implement (side to side).
Stabilizers, 3
- Reduce side sway of implement.
Top Link, 4
- Adjustable, turnbuckle type to level imple-
ment (front to rear).
