3-Point Hook-Up

Refer to Figure 1-2:

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 check all blade hardware for tightness before

moving or working around the unit. Make sure moldboard

pivot and tilt retaining hardware is tightened to the correct

torque. The moldboard can fall from the its pivot mount or

tilt mount if retaining hardware is loose or missing.

WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death:
Always shut tractor down using “Tractor Shutdown

Procedure” provided in this manual before allowing anyone

including the operator to hook-up and unhook implement.

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.

Shorten or remove tractor drawbar to keep it from
interfering with the Rear Blade blade.

2. Ensure lower arms are stabilized to prevent

excessive side movement.

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.

3. Slowly back tractor up to the 3-Way Rear Blade while

using 3-Point hydraulic control to align hitch holes in
the lower arms with clevis pin holes on the
implement.

4. Engage tractor park brake, shut engine off, and

remove key before dismounting from tractor.

5. With tractor’s lower arms aligned and positioned in

the clevises, insert hitch pins through clevis lugs and
lower arm hitch holes. Secure hitch pins with
linchpins.

6. Ensure lower arms are stabilized to prevent

excessive side movement.

Raise support stand all the way up to transport
position and secure in place with wire retaining pin.

8. Connect tractor’s top center link to the upper hitch

mounting hole using customer supplied hardware:

•

Cat I hitch: Two step bushings and 3/4" clevis pin
with linchpin. Step bushings are available through
your nearest Land Pride dealer. Refer Figure 1-2
for step bushing part number.

•

Cat II hitch: 1" clevis pin and linchpin.

9. Return to tractor and slowly operate controls up and

down to check for clearance. Make certain Rear
Blade does not interfere with tractor hitch, tires, and
drawbar. Move or remove the drawbar if it interferes.

10. Manually adjust one of the two lower lift arms up or

down to level the Rear Blade from left to right.

11. Manually adjust the length of the top center link to

level the Rear Blade from front to rear.

12. Check clearances after all offset, pivot, and tilt

linkages have been installed. Refer to

“Inspection

After Hook-Up”

on page 20.
