Hitching the cultivator with the tractor
Tyre pressure in the tractor wheels must comply with the values recommended by
the manufacturer. The lower bars of the three-point hitch should be at the same height,
spaced correspondingly to the spacing of the lower points of hitch. While attaching the
cultivator to the tractor, the machine must be placed on hard and even ground.
Fig. 11 Three-point hitch of the tractor: 1,2 – lower bars, 3 – upper fastener, 4 – left support rail, 5 – right support rail
with adjustable length, 6 – lift arm, 7 – lift shaft.
While attaching the cultivator to the three-point hitch of the tractor, complete the
following steps:
•
switch the tractor hydraulic system into adjustment position,
•
remove lower hitch bolts (if the tractor lift is not equipped with hooks),
•
drive forwards carefully, suspend the implement on the lower bars and secure,
•
check the operation of cultivator lifting, lowering and the hydraulic system.
CAUTION! Hitching the tractor with the cultivator must be performed
carefully, at the tractor’s minimum speed! When hitching the implement,
make sure that no bystanders are present in the vicinity.

Operation and adjustment
In order for the cultivator to work effectively – as the owner wishes – it is necessary
to carry out the implement adjustments before starting work. It is possible to determine
the working depth of the beams, rollers and discs. Remember to adjust the implement
symmetrically to maintain sufficient stability during operation.

Hydraulic lock of side extensions
RHINO cultivators are equipped with a hydraulic lock of side extensions, requiring
no additional maintenance. The lock uses a mechanism consisting of an actuator and
hook, as well as a handle assembly with a locking bar.
