Hitching Turbo-Chisel to Tractor
Hitch to a tractor for highway transport or field
operations. Hitch to a leading implement only for field
operations. Do not transport behind another implement.
Before hitching, check the compatibility and capability of
the towing tractor or implement:
The TC5109-5323 Turbo-Chisel is a pull-type implement
equipped with a standard Category IV single tang hitch.
It may be converted to a Category III or clevis hitch using
supplied accessory parts.
To prevent soil compaction on rows, set tractor wheels
between rows. For hillsides and steep slopes, set tractor
wheels as wide as possible for maximum stability.
1. Raise tractor three-point arms (if equipped) clear up
to clear Turbo-Chisel.
2. For TWO-WHEEL DRIVE and MFWD tractors, pin
drawbar in fixed center position for field and
transport. For FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE and TRAC-
DRIVE tractors, leave one hole clearance on each
side of drawbar for field position, hitch damage may
occur if pinned solid. Pin in center position for
transport to maintain maximum steering control.
3. Use jack to raise and lower turbo-chisel tongue.
4. Back tractor draw bar into alignment with hitch .
5. Secure with a locking hitch pin.
Negative Tongue Weight Hazard:
Make certain that turbo-chisel is securely hitched to the
tractor or leading implement before unfolding. An unhitched
turbo-chisel can tip over backwards during folding and
unfolding if the tongue is not secured.
6. Secure safety chain to an anchor on the tractor.
7. Retract jack foot. Re-orient jack to storage position.
8. After hitching tractor to turbo-chisel, store jack on
storage stob on Turbo-Chisel tongue.
Load Sway Hazard:
9.
Lock drawbar swing to center position to minimize any
side-to-side sway to assure proper tracking in the field,
and safe road travel. See
” on page 19, for
safe transporting.
