Hitching to Tractor
1.
Back tractor to implement. Use the screw jack
to adjust the hitch up or down as needed.

holes align. Place the tractor in park and pin
the implement to the tractor using the tractor’s
original equipment hitch pin as outlined in the
tractor’s operator manual.
3. Securely attach the implement’s safety chain
to the tractor as outlined in the tractor’s oper-
ator manual.
4. Connect the light harness and plug in the hy-
draulic hoses. (See Hydraulic Hose Hookup
below).

plement is on the tractor drawbar. Remove
the jack from the side of the tongue and store
it on the storage stob located on the top left-
hand side of the coulter frame.
Hydraulic Hose Hookup
Refer to Figure 3
Great Plains hydraulic hoses have color coded
handles to help you hook up hoses to your tractor
outlets. Hoses that go to the same remote valve
are marked with the same color.
One plastic grip in each color shows a retracting
cylinder and the other shows an extending
cylinder.
