Attaching Seeder Hitch To The
Tractor

WARNING
1. Make sure the tractor drawbar is rated and adjusted
properly for the weight of the seeder hitch.
2. Measure the tractor drawbar and adjust the hitch
clevis to the appropriate hitch mounting holes.
3. Carefully back the tractor into position. If the draw
bar is too high or too low, attach the hydraulic hoses
to the tractor. Slowly extend or retract the telescoping
hitch until the hitch is in line with the tractor clevis.

Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the
skin causing serious personnel injury. Avoid the
hazard by relieving system pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines. Tighten all
connections before applying pressure. Keep
hands and body away from pinholes which eject
fluid under high pressure. Wear protective gloves
and safety glasses when working with hydraulics.
Use a piece of cardboard or paper, not body parts
to search/check for leaks (See Figure 4-1.) If an
accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any
fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gangrene may
result.
