Locking The Hitch
The 3-point hitch can be locked in the raised position.
When a rear attachment is locked in the raised position, the
tractor’s on-board hydraulic cylinder can be used to lift mid
mounted attachments without having to remove the rear
attachment. For example, if a tractor equipped with a tiller is
to be used for mowing, the tiller can be locked in the raised
position allowing the mower to be installed and used.
To lock the 3-point hitch in the raised position:
1. Raise the attachment lift.
2. Remove the locking rod from its storage position (A,
Figure 14) and insert it below the hitch arms in the
locking position (B).
3. Secure with a hair pin clip.
