TABLE OF CONTENTS
Tractor Preparation
The Landoll 9650 Field Cultivator is designed to be pulled
by tractor equipped with a double lip or clevis type hitch.
If your tractor is not equipped as such, you need to
purchase the hitch from your local tractor dealer. Before
attaching the Field Cultivator, prepare the tractor as
follows:
1. Inflate the rear tractor tires equally and add ballast
according to the tractor operator’s manual.
2. Lock the tractor drawbar in the center position.
Prior to Transport
1. Use a locking style hitch pin that properly fits the holes
in the tractor drawbar and implement hitch.
2. Attach safety chain.
3. Plug in safety lights to the tractor seven-pin connector
and verify correct operation.
4. Raise the implement parking jack and place in the
field storage position.
5. Make sure all transport locks and pins are installed.
Do not depend solely on implement hydraulics for
transport.
6. Check that tires are of proper size, load rating, and
inflated
to manufacture specifications before
transporting. Check wheel lug bolts to insure
tightness.
7. Know the transport heights and widths of the unit
before transporting. Attachments such as leveling
harrows can increase the transport dimensions of the
implement. Use caution when transporting near
bridges and power lines.

Always use flashing warning lights, except where
such use is prohibited by law.
