lower hitch points. Be sure nothing is between the tractor and the till-
er before backing up.
2.
justable lower hitch blocks that can be slide to facilitate usage on larger tractors.
3. Secure the lift arm in place by using a 7/16” lynch pin or other fastener.
4. Repeat with the other arm.
5. Connect the driveline to the tractor ’ s PTO output shaft. Secure it in place.
6. Connect the tractor top link to the upper hitch point of the rotary tiller.
7. Start the tractor and slowly raise the tiller. Check for drawbar interference. Be sure that the
PTO driveline does not bottom out when lifting the machine to it
’ s maximum height. If it does
appear that it could bottom out, it is necessary to shorten the PTO driveline. (See Shortening a
PTO Driveline section). Ensure that in the working position there is an overlap of a minimum
of 1/3 the length of each profile.
Before attaching the rotary tiller to the tractor, check the unit to ensure there is oil
in the top and side gearbox. See Maintenance section for lubricant specifications.
