CHECKING THE TRACTOR PRIOR TO PLOUGHING
TRACTOR SIZE
The tractor must have an appropriate size to operate the plough safely! Make sure that at
least 20% of the tractor`s weight is loaded onto the front axle.
FUNCTION OF THE THREE-POINT HITCH
The design of the three-point linkage is based on the principle that the tractor and the plough
should operate as one unit. This function is depending of the settings for the lower links and
the top link. These components must therefore be maintained in a condition that enables
them to be easily adjusted.
HYDRAULICS
Following external hydraulic outlets are required:
MT
1 single-acting
If the plough is equipped with hydraulic front furrow adjustment cylinder one extra double
acting hydraulic outlet is required. Familarize yourself with the hydraulic systems of the
tractor.
WHEEL ADJUSTMENT - TRACK WIDTH
For ploughing purposes, track width is always measured between the inside walls on the
tractor tyres.
The measurement between the inner walls of the front wheels must be at least equal to the
inner measurement between the rear wheels, but may be up to 10 cm wider. The distance
between wheels must be symmetrical, relative to the centre line of the tractor.
