DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports
before working under it. Never go under equipment supported
by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can break,
hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls can be
actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Lightweight tractors with rear attached implements may need
weights added to the front to maintain steering control.
Consult your tractor Operator’s Manual to determine proper
weight requirements and maximum weight limitations.
A 3-point Category I hitch is required. The lower
3-point arms of the 3-point hitch must be stabilized to
prevent side-to-side movement. Most tractors have sway
blocks or adjustable chains for this purpose. Consult your
tractor Operator’s Manual for detailed instructions on
how to stabilize your tractor’s lower 3-point arms.
1.
If hooking-up with a Quick Hitch, refer to the Quick
Hitch Operator’s Manual for detailed hook-up and
operating instructions. Otherwise, continue with
step 2 below.
2. Slowly back tractor up to the C-Tine Field Cultivator
while using the tractor’s 3-point control lever to align
holes in the tractor’s lower 3-point lift arms with hitch
pins (#2) on the cultivator.

4. Attach lower 3-point lift arms to hitch pins (#2) and
secure with customer supplied linchpins (#1).
5. Connect top center 3-point link to the upper hitch
clevis with customer supplied hitch pin (#4). Secure
hitch pin with customer supplied hairpin cotter (#3).
6. Return to the tractor and slowly operate tractor
3-point hydraulic control lever to slowly raise and
lower the cultivator while checking for clearance
between tractor tires, drawbar, and cultivator. Move
or remove drawbar if it interferes with the cultivator.
7.
Level the cultivator left to right and front to back.
Refer to
8. Ensure lower 3-point lift arms are stabilized to
prevent excessive side-to-side movement.
NOTE:
Land Pride’s Quick Hitch can be attached to
the tractor to provide quick and easy 3-point hook-
up and detachment. See your nearest Land Pride
dealer to purchase a Quick Hitch.
NOTE:
Linchpins (#1), upper center hitch pin (#4),
and hairpin cotter (#3) are customer supplied.
