TRACTOR HOOK - UP
DANGER
A crushing hazard exists while hooking-up and unhooking the implement. Keep people and
animals away while backing-up to the implement or pulling away from the implement. Do not
operate hydraulic controls while a person or animal is directly behind the power machine or near
the implement.

Lightweight tractors with rear attached implements may need weights added to the front to
maintain steering control.
Consult your tractor Operator’s Manual to determine proper weight requirements and maximum
weight limitations.
