Connecting the tedder to the tractor
In order to perform this, the tractor should be weighed and then driven onto the scales with
the tractor's front axis only (tedder must be in transport position, so lifted upwards). If the pressure
on the front axis is at least 20% of the whole set’s pressure, it means the set is stable. If not, the
front axis should be balanced.
