Mechanical linkage
device [+]
The mechanical linkage device can transfer lifting forces of up to
1400 kg.
Adjust the lower link connections to the dimensions of the seeding
machine
Remove the R-pin from the locking pin
Remove the locking pin
Align the tractor with the power harrow centred in front of the seed-
ing machine
Reverse slowly. The lower link connections from the tractor must
be located below the lower link connections on the seeding ma-
chine
Lift the power harrow and ensure the arrester hooks are securely
locked in place
Insert the locking pin and secure with an R-pin
Fasten the top link to the seeding machine and secure
Lower the entire machine combination to work position
Adjust the length of the top link so that the seeding machine is in
its prescribed alignment with the ground
Adjust the length of the chain by repositioning it in the shackles or
by setting the turnbuckle
Adjust the setting identically on the other side of the machine
The chains must hang slightly loose if the seed drill is in work position,
so that it can run on its wheels unhindered and can also be guided cor-
rectly in ground depressions. However, chains must not be tensioned
too loosely, as they would restrict the ground clearance when lifting
the power harrow and seeding machine.
