12.6 WEIGHT TRANSFER KIT, See fig.15.
With the weight transfer kit, extra weight from the tractor can be transferred to the spiker for better
penetration. The maximum allowable weight transfer may not exceed 2000 Kg., because the machine
may get hurt or dangerous situations may occur.
A four wheel driven tractor is recommended when a weight transfer kit is used, since the weight on the
rear wheels is reduced.
PREPARATIONS.
Assemble the components to the hydraulic cylinder, see Fig. 15. The flow reducer 2 is screwed in the
hydraulic cylinder 10. Use copper washer 3. Fit all three connectors 5 to the pressure relieve valve 7,
using washers 3. Slide the tubes 4/8 fully into the connectors 5, T connector 1 and screw able connector
11. Mount everything onto the cylinder ports. When everything fits, tighten all connectors, keeping the
valve 7 vertical up. Next hoses 9 can be fitted to the connectors 1 and 5. At the other end of the hose a
threaded nipple 12 fits, on which a quick Fit connector 14 can be mounted, using a copper washer 13 to
seal. When everything is tight, the hydraulic cylinder assembly is ready to use.
Fit the symmetric plates 31 with bolts 30 and nuts 34 to the standard holes 35 of the machine, as is
shown in fig. 15.
Remove the toplink pin 27, in order to create some more space and to prevent the pin from damaging the
beam 21.
Mount the machine to the tractor, using the bottom link arms 20 only. When connected, remove the jack (
and fit in upside down to the machine) and lower the machine till size A = approximately 300 mm ( 12”).
NEXT, SECURE THE MACHINE IN THE CENTER OF THE TRACTOR WITH THE
STABILISATORS OF THE TRACTOR. This is very important. Assemble the two plates 21 with pin 25
to the machine. Secure it with linch pin 26. Fit beam 16 with hole 15 to the top link connection of the
Fig.15.
