Be sure to pin the tractor drawbar rigid in the center position and properly attach the
implement safety tow chain.
Safety Chains
When towing implements on a public roadway, use a safety chain with tensile strength equal to or greater than
the gross weight of the unit being towed. This will control the implement in the event the hitch pin is lost during
transport.
After the ends of the safety chain are attached to the implement and the tractor, make a trial run by driving the
tractor to the right and to the left to check for proper length. If necessary, readjust the chain to eliminate loose
or tight chain lengths.
7. Folding the DISC HARROW into Field Operating and Transport Position
NEVER unhook the Disc Harrow partially
raised. If disconnected the hitch will raise
abruptly while the back of the DISC HAR -
ROW will drop abruptly.
Ensure a tractor with a Category 4 drawbar
is used. The DISC HARROW will exert
extensive upward force when lifting. To
small of a tractor will upend.
Ensure the Disc Harrow is clean before lifting. Excess mud or dirt build up will cause greater
upending forces on the tractor hitch
Ensure the Disc Harrow hitch is securely attached to the tractor, hitch pin is locked in
place.
Only use with a tractor equipped with a minimum Category IV hitch and Hammer Strap.
Check the Hammer Strap bolts to ensure they are tight and secure.
