Hitching Tractor to Sub-Soiler
Crushing Hazard:
Do not stand or place any part of your body between sub-
soiler and moving tractor. You may be severely injured or
killed by being crushed between the tractor and sub-soiler.
Stop tractor engine and set parking brake before attaching
cables and hoses.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use a
piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for
leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems. Escaping fluid under
pressure can have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin caus-
ing serious injury. If an accident occurs, seek immediate medi-
cal assistance from a physician familiar with this type of injury.
Hitching with 3-Point
1. The sub-soiler is designed to use either Category II
or III tractors. This implement is factory set for Cate-
gory III tractors. To change to Category II, you will
need a Category II Ripper hitch pin kit P/N 596-060A.
See your Great Plains dealer to order kit.
2. In addition, the following bushings (not supplied by
Great Plains) may be needed to fit your quick hitch or
tractor’s 3-point arms:
• Upper Link 1” IDx1 1/4” OD
• Lower Links 1 1/8”IDx1 7/16” OD
3. Be sure that all tractor 3-point arms are securely
pinned before lifting the implement. Adjust the top 3-
point link so that the frame is at desired tip depth,
parallel with the ground.
4. Set the tractor 3-point draft control in the float posi-
tion.
5. Raise the tractor 3-point arms as needed and pin
lower arms to implement.
