Working and transport positions
1.
Semi-mounted implements
Safety instructions:
• Never stand between packer and trailing implement during forward and reverse travel
– crushing hazard!
• Note length of the combination! For the transport in the front power lift, the distance
from the centre of the steering wheel to the front edge of the attachment must not
exceed 350 cm on public roads!
When using the trailed roller on a single-furrow packer of the UPA 900 series, it is possible to
semi-mount the trailed implement on the packer frame for transport purposes and to transport the
combination as a unit in the three-point attachment. Proceed as follows for this:
• Couple the packer to the tractor three-point linkage and drive so far until the combination
is aligned.
• Unlock the telescopic drawbar by removing the locking pin.
• Raise the tractor power lift until the rear crossbar of the packer is just underneath the
semi-mounted hook of the trailing implement; if necessary lengthen the upper linkage of
the three-point power lift.
• Reverse tractor carefully until the roller drawbar is completely inserted.
• Insert locking pin for the drawbar locking in the drilled hole for the transport position
(shortest position).
• Raise combination carefully; in doing so, check the threading of the semi-mounted hook.
Proceed in reverse order to put the implement in the working position.
The telescoping action of the drawbar can be adversely affected by strong soiling of the drawbar.
If necessary, the drawbar must be cleaned of large deposits of earth. If the telescoping is still not
successful, a small correction of the lift height of the power lift or a small steering movement usually
helps. It is also helpful in such cases to support the telescoping process by starting in reverse. If it
is also not successful using these actions, the drawbar or the cladding tube must be examined for
damage (e.g. drawbar twisted?).
It is in fact also generally possible to semi-mount the trailing implement on double-furrow packers.
However, this is not advisable due to the unfavourable weight distribution, particularly for larger work-
ing widths (see also “additional information about the attachment of heavy implements”). We there-
fore discourage this solution.
