4 POWERED BY A TRACTOR



The tractor-powered machine must always be connected to the tractor’s lifting arm.
This ensures that the distance between the firewood processor and the tractor stays
correct. If it changes during operation, severe damage might result.



Usually, the machine is delivered with the attachment lug removed. The log shall be at-
tached by the customer.



The attachment lug and the fittings required for installation (Fig. 11), are delivered with
the tractor-powered machine.

Fig. 11

4.1 Installation

1. Put the attachment lug into place, then thread the M12 lock bolt through the square

hollow section (Fig.12). Place the other bolt to the rear of the pipe (not shown in the
picture).
