Tractor/Sprayer Hook-Up
The Great Plains Sprayer is equipped with a ball hitch on
sprayers equipped with a PTO driveline pump.
A single tang hitch is used in place of the ball hitch on oth-
er pump options. If the sprayer has a single tang hitch, at-
tach it to the tractor using a hitch pin with a retaining hair
pin. Park the sprayer in a open, flat area. With the jack in
the park position, figure 2. Skip instructions 1-4 and pro-
ceed with 5.
If the sprayer is equipped with the ball hitch, use the in-
structions 1-4 to assemble the hitch plate.
