IMPLEMENT HOOK-UP
3-Point Hitch Implements
IMPORTANT: Before hitching implements to the
3-point hitch, be sure that the implement is
compatible with the tractor hitch.
CAUTION: BE SURE THAT NO ONE IS
BETWEEN THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT
WHEN BACKING UP THE TRACTOR.
Before attaching 3-point hitch implements, be
sure that the drawbar does not interfere when
the implement is raised or lowered.
CAUTION: SHUT THE TRACTOR OFF WHEN
HOOKING UP AN IMPLEMENT.
1. Back the tractor so that the lower link hitch
points are even with the implement
connections.
2. Connect the lower links to the implement with
the correct size hitch pins and secure with
klick pins.
3. Adjust the upper link length and setting on
the link bracket. Connect the link to the
implement with the hitch pin and lock with
klick pins.
IMPORTANT: The hitch pins must fit snugly
into the connection points. If loose, the
implement and tractor have different hitch
dimensions. Verify the correct hitch category.
4. Level the implement.
5. Install sway blocks and shims as required.
Semi-integral Implements
1. Large rear-mounted equipment is usually
connected to the two lower lift links only.
2. Attach the implement in the same manner as
a 3-point hitch implement, but do not connect
the upper link. The lower links lift the
implement front, and a remote hydraulic
cylinder lifts the rear.
3. See the “Hydraulic System Operation” earlier
in this section for information on the
connection of hydraulics to lift semi-integral
implements.
CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING IMPLEMENTS
MOUNTED TO THE 3-POINT HITCH, BE
SURE THAT THE IMPLEMENT IS PROPERLY
SUPPORTED WITH BLOCKING.
