Hitching Tractor to Drill
!
DANGER
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed
between the tractor and drill. Do not stand or place
any part of your body between drill and moving trac-
tor. Stop tractor engine and set park brake before in-
stalling the hitch pin.
!
WARNING
This drill can have positive and negative tongue
weight, which can work the hitch pin loose during
transport. To avoid serious injury or death due to a
road accident, always use a clevis hitch or clevis draw-
bar with a locking-style hitch pin.
1. Choose a drill-hitch option that is compatible
with your tractor drawbar.
The 3S-4000 has three hitch options:
• a clevis hitch,
• a small-hole, single-strap hitch or
• a large-hole, single-strap hitch.
Use the clevis hitch with tractors that have
single-tang drawbars.Use the single-strap
hitch for tractors with clevis drawbars. Always
use a locking-style hitch pin sized to match
the holes in the hitch and drawbar.
2. To adjust the drill hitch to match your tractor-
drawbar height, mount tongue jack on side of
tongue as shown. Use jack to raise drill
tongue so lowest hitch hole is 18 inches off
ground.
