Hitching with PTO Pump
A PTO pump sprayer has a ball hitch. The hitch parts
include a hitch plate and ball hitch pin to adapt a plain
tractor drawbar
to ball hitch use.
If the tractor already has a ball hitch-compatible drawbar,
skip to step 6.
1.
Remove the hammer-strap on the tractor.
2.
Assemble the ball hitch plate
to the drawbar by
placing the 1-8 x 5-inch long bolt
through the
drawbar hole using flat washers on both ends.
3.
Place the backup plate
on top of the drawbar and
orient the slots so they point in the opposite
directions from the hitch plate
slots.
4.
Insert the

Back the tractor up to the sprayer. Hook up the

mounted on
the ball hitch plate
. Secure the ball hitch with the
large flat washer
and the lynch pin
.

Remove the jack and pin it to the storage stob on the
brace tube above the left wheel axle.
Axle Spacing
The TSF sprayers have sliding axles allowing wheel
center-lines to be in the range:
N.America: 80 to 120 inches (203 to 305cm)
Export: 203 to 290cm (80 to 114in).
You can set them to match or complement tractor tire
spacing.
This adjustment is most easily done when the sprayer is
mechanically hitched with empty tanks. See “
” on page 59 for detailed
instructions.
