6. CONNECTING THE SNOW BLOWER TO THE TRACTOR
Use extreme caution when connecting the snow blower to the tractor. The snow blower should be securely
resting at ground level with the parking jack foot. Keep hands and feet out from under the snowblower and
clear of pinch points between the tractor and snow blower.
6.1 Connecting the Snow Blower to the Tractor
1. Make sure the tractor is equipped with the
correct PTO shaft. Change shafts if needed.
2. Shorten or remove the tractor drawbar to avoid
interference when raising and lowering the
implement.
3. Board the tractor and start the engine. Position
the tractor to the snow blower with the 3-point
lift arms positioned to attach to the snow blower
lower link pins.
NOTE: Set the 3-point lift control
to “Position Control” so that the lift arm
maintains a constant height when attaching the
snow blower. See the tractor Operator’s Manual
for correct settings when attaching 3-point
equipment.
4. Turn off the tractor engine and dismount.
5. One lift arm at a time, align arm end hole
between the set of A-frame lift lugs. Insert pitch
pin through the lug and arm holes and insert
retaining pin into hitch pin.
6. Walk around to opposite side and repeat
procedure for remaining lift arm and hitch pin.
7. Extend or retract 3-point top link to align its end
hole with the holes of the snow blower’s top
link. Insert the top link hitch pin and insert
retaining pin into hitch pin.
8. Adjust any lower link check chains, guide
blocks, or sway blocks to prevent the snow
blower from swaying side to side and possible
contact with tractor rear tires.
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the
parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement
and Tractor hitches.
