4. Tractor mounting
When connecting the winch, do not stand in the danger zone!
Forestry winch can be connected to any tractor, which has a three-point hitch, with
connection frame of category I or II. Appropriate construction also enables easy
connection to the tractor with automatic connection rods. Connect the prescribed PTO
shaft and secure cardan protection with a hang chain. Be careful that the cardan clicks
into place on both connection points! For transfer of torque from the tractor to the winch,
it is advisable to use a PTO shaft with a clutch. Once the winch is attached to the tractor,
strengthen the stabilizers on the lower connection rods and level the winch with a hitch
nut into position, so that the winch is tilted backwards for approximately 20 degrees.
Electrical cable plug on the winch is connected to the socket on the tractor. Steering
console is connected to the socket on the winch housing. When using remote control,
receiver cable is connected to the socket, where the steering console used to be.
