GENERAL INFORMATION
On Pequea Machine, Inc. equipment, left and right are determined by standing behind the unit, looking in the direction
of travel.
CAUTION: NEVER USE TOO SMALL A TRACTOR. A SMALL TRACTOR MAY BE ABLE TO PULL THE UNIT,
BUT THE TRACTOR WOULD NOT BE HEAVY ENOUGH FOR ADEQUATE TRACTION AND BRAKING TO
CONTROL THE WEIGHT OF THE HEAVY SPREADER ON HILLS AND FOR STEERING.
A good rule is to use a tractor that is heavier than the spreader and load combined.
TRACTOR HITCH
The hitch of the spreader is designed for a standardized tractor hitch. Adjust the tractor drawbar so it is 13"-17"
above the ground. Secure the drawbar so the hitch pin hole is directly below the power drive line.
