A 3-point Category I or II hitch is required. The lower
3-point arms of the 3-point hitch must be stabilized to
prevent side-to-side movement. Most tractors have sway
blocks or adjustable chains for this purpose.
NOTE:
Land Pride’s Quick Hitch can be attached to
the tractor to provide quick and easy 3-point hook-
up and detachment. See your nearest Land Pride
dealer to purchase a Quick-Hitch.
1. Ensure lower 3-point lift arms are blocked to prevent
excessive side-to-side movement.
2. Slowly back tractor up to the Box Scraper while using
tractor’s 3-point control lever to align lower 3-point
hitch holes with clevis lug holes on the Box Scraper.
•
Cat. I hook-up: Align lift arms with inside clevises.
•
Cat. II hook-up: Align lift arms with outside
clevises.
3. Shut tractor down using correct shutdown
procedures before dismounting tractor. Refer to

pins (#1). Secure hitch pins with linchpins (#2).
5. Connect top center 3-point link to the upper hitch with
hitch pin (#3). Secure hitch pin with hairpin
cotters (#4).
6. Return to the tractor and slowly operate tractor
3-point hydraulic control lever to slowly raise and
lower the Box Scraper while checking for clearance

Scraper.
