Operation
Attaching to the Tractor - Initial Assembly
1. Standard Models
Position the linkage frame of the digger behind
the tractor. Disable the tractor draft control
mechanism, fully lower the tractor linkage arms
and connect the digger linkage pins. Install a
Lynch pin in each linkage pin to secure the arms.
Fit the inner end of the boom into the upper
linkage clevis of the tractor, install the tractor
linkage pin and secure it with a Lynch pin.
While supporting the boom, swing the digger
frame up so that the connecting bolt can be
installed in the boom bracket. Tighten the locknut
on the connecting bolt so the fit is snug but free to
pivot. Three holes are provided in the bracket to
facilitate fitment to different tractors. Use the hole
that positions the linkage frame nearest to
vertical.
If necessary adjust the sway chains on the tractor
linkage to centralize the digger and prevent any
sideways movement.
Refer to the next page for information on fitting
the gearbox pivot pin and PTO shaft.
2. Hydraulic Model
At the time of delivery the linkage frame with
boom attached, PTO shaft, hydraulic cylinder with
hoses connected, and gearbox with auger
attached are supplied as separate items. The
following instructions apply for the first
installation.
The Hydraulic digger is fitted with bolt-on
Category 2 linkage pins. If it is necessary to fit it
to a Category 1 tractor, change the pins to
Category 1 and use a spacer in the pin hole of
the upper hitch post to reduce its diameter.
Category 1 pins and spacers are available from
FTM dealers. The upper linkage pin and three
Lynch pins from the tractor are required to
complete the installation.
Place the linkage frame and boom assembly
behind the tractor. Disable the tractor draft
control and lower the linkage arms so they can be
fitted over the digger linkage pins. If necessary
reposition the pins to a more convenient height.
Fit a Lynch pin in each linkage pin to secure the
arms.
Remove the locking bolt from the upper hitch post
and swing the linkage frame up so the rear
member is vertical. Adjust the length of the hitch
post (to the nearest hole) so it can be fitted into
the tractor upper linkage clevis. Refit the locking
bolt and nut to the hitch post. Install the upper
linkage pin and secure with a Lynch pin. It may
be necessary to adjust the height of the tractor
arms so the holes align to enable installation of
the upper pin.
