Tractor Hook-Up
!
DANGER
To avoid serious injury or death:
A crushing hazard exists while hooking-up and unhooking
implement. Keep people and animals away while backing-up
to implement or pulling away from implement. Do not operate
hydraulic controls while a person or animal is directly behind
the power machine or near the implement.
A tractor with 3-point Category I or II hitch is required.
The lower 3-point arms must be stabilized to prevent
side-to-side movement. Most tractors have sway blocks
or adjustable chains for this purpose.
1.
Slowly back tractor up to Rotary Cutter while using
tractor’s 3-Point hydraulic control to align lower
3-Point arm holes with clevis lug holes “C”.
2. Engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off,
and remove key before dismounting from tractor.
3. Attach lower arms to clevises with hitch pins (#2) and
secure with hairpin cotters (#6) as follows:
a.
Cat. l 3-Point Hitch:
Insert hairpin cotters (#6) in
hole “A”.
b.
Cat. ll 3-Point Hitch and Cat. l & ll Quick Hitch:
Insert hairpin cotters (#6) in hole “B”.
c. See also Figure 1-12 & Figure 1-13 for illustration
of hitch pin positions in clevis.
4. Connect top center 3-Point link to upper pivot hitch
holes with clevis pin (#8) and hairpin cotter (#7).
NOTE:
Land Pride’s QH15 Category I or QH20
Category II 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.
5. The length of the top center link will be adjusted later.
6. The arm lift cylinders on your tractor’s 3- point hitch
should be adjusted to allow for lateral float. Please
consult your tractor’s manual for instructions.
