3.10. Hitch Jack Installation
Jack is attached to the auger by means of a pin at the pivot point.
1. Elevate the auger boot (intake end) approximately 2 feet with a front-end loader and sling and install the
jack in a vertical position and secure it with pin supplied.
2. Place a board beneath jack before setting it on the ground. Then lower auger until jack is seated. Remove
front-end loader from auger.
Note
Jack can be rotated 90° for transport or operation.
Jack is designed for raising or lowering auger hitch only. Do not get on or beneath auger
while supported by or while jack is being operated.
3.11. Auger/Tractor Hook Up
• Auger must be hooked up to tractor for all operations. Including transport, raising,
placement and augering grain.
• Disconnect PTO driveline from tractor for transport and placement.
PTO Driveline/Drawbar
The final stage of the MK/HX assembly is attaching the auger to the tractor. Since the auger and tractor become
an integral unit during transport, placement and operation, the configuration of and measurements between
the tractor drawbar and the tractor PTO driveline become very important.
illustrates the ideal measurements. Most tractors fall into this range. Please note that dimension (B)
may range from 6 to 10 inches with 8 inches being ideal. If dimensions (A) and (B) on your tractor are as shown,
then dimension (C), which is critical, will be correct. Should (A) and (B) vary on your tractor from the
recommended dimensions, consult
for potential problems and their solutions.
