Tractor requirements & preparation
5.1 Tractor requirements
The minimum recommended size of tractor for operating the machine comfortably
depends mainly on the forage being cut. On flat ground
McHale
recommends a tractor
size of at least 224 kW. On hilly ground or difficult conditions, an additional 10 to 15 kW
is advisable.
The following items on the tractor are required for attachment of the machine behind
the tractor:
1.
CAT 2/3 (rear) 3-point linkage
2.
3 x double-acting hydraulic function with float (minimum 20 l/min @ 180 bar)
3.
Single-acting hydraulic supply (advantageous, but not essential)
4.
12 V / 7-pin socket for lighting
5.
1
⅜
”, 6-spline PTO shaft (set to a speed of 1,000 rpm)
6.
Lower link stabilisers
NOTE: Use good quality oil
Ensure that the tractor has clean, good quality, hydraulic/universal oil to
avoid problems later on. Also, the hydraulic filters on the tractor should
be changed regularly, according to the manufacturer’s service
instructions. Avoid dirt getting into the hydraulic couplings.
