Hook-up 3-Point Plow
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
A crushing hazard exists while hooking-up and unhooking
implement. Keep people and animals away while backing-
up to implement or pulling away from implement. Do not
operate hydraulic controls while a person or animal is
directly behind the power machine or near the implement.
•
Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports
before working under it. Never go under equipment
supported by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can
break, hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls
can be actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.
A 3-point Category I 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. Consult your
tractor Operator’s Manual for detailed instructions on
how to stabilize your tractor’s lower 3-point lift arms.
1.
Ensure lower 3-point lift arms are blocked to prevent
excessive side-to-side movement.
2. Remove drawbar. See tractor Operator’s Manual for
removal instructions.
3. Slowly back tractor up to the Moldboard Plow while
using tractor’s 3-point control lever to align hitch
holes in lower 3-point arms with hitch pins (#1).
IMPORTANT:
Tractor drawbar must be removed to
avoid damaged caused by the plow & drawbar.
NOTE:
Linchpin (#2), upper center hitch pin (#3),
and hairpin cotter (#4) are customer supplied.
4. Shut tractor down according to
5. Attach lower 3-point arms to hitch pins (#1) with
customer supplied linchpins (#2). Snap linchpin
keepers down. One of the lower 3-point arms may
need to be adjusted vertically to attach hitch pins.
6. Attach top center 3-point link to the upper clevis hitch
with customer supplied clevis pin (#3) and hairpin
cotter (#4).
7.
One of the lower 3-point arms may need to be
adjusted vertically to attach hitch pins.
8. Skip to step 12 if hooking-up MP20 plow. Otherwise,
continue with steps 9-11 below.
9. Return to the tractor and slowly operate tractor
3-point hydraulic control lever to slowly raise the plow
until park jack (#5) is off the ground approximately 2".
10. With tractor still in park or park brake set, turn off
engine and remove switch key before dismounting.
11. Keep all body extremities out from under the plow
while stowing park jack for traveling.
a. Remove wire retaining pin (#6) from front holes in
park jack mount (#7).
b. Rotate park jack (#5) back until jack is horizontal.
c. Insert wire retaining pin (#6) in rear holes of park
jack mount (#7) and secure pin by making sure
wire retainer is caught over end of pin.
12. Rotate coulter (#8) clockwise and counterclockwise
by hand until it is against stop (#9) in both directions.
If needed, readjust coulter stop to keep coulter from
coming in contact with tractor and/or tractor tires. For
detailed instructions, see
IMPORTANT:
Park jack (#5) must be secured in the
up position before transporting with plow attached to
the tractor. The jack will be damaged if left down.
