ATTACHING
IMPORTANT:
driveline that is too long to
fit between tractor and tiller will bottom
out causing structural damage to the
tractor and tiller.
9. With driveline level, measure 1” back from
universal joint shield to end of outer driveline
shield as shown in. If measurement is less than 1”,
then shorten driveline using instructions provided
in section “Sizing The PTO Shaft”.
ATTACHING TO A TRACTOR
1. Place tiller and tractor on level ground.
2. Back tractor into position by lining up lift arms
and Category I pins on the tiller. Attach lift arms to
Category I pins and secure with lynch pins.
3. Attach top link using Category I lift pin and lynch
pin.
4. Attach PTO driveline and secure anti-rotation
chains.
5. Once everything is securely attached, raise tiller
off the ground and adjust the top link so the tiller
sets level from front to back.
6. Determine if the PTO shaft needs to be shortened.
7. Always check driveline collapsible length during
initial setup, when connecting to a different
tractor and when alternating between using a
quick hitch and a standard 3-point hitch. More
than one driveline may be required to fit all
applications.
8. Make sure driveline is properly installed and level
before checking driveline collapsible length.
