Hitching Tractor to Drill
The 3P1006NT is a Semi-Mounted 3-Point Category II
hitch implement.
Hitch Extension
If no hitch extension is required, skip to step 4.
On tractors with oversize tires, or unusual wheel bases,
the rear tractor tires may be too close to (or touch) drill
components when directly hitched. In this case, a hitch
extension kit is available (page 61).
Equipment Damage Risk:
Great Plains CPH, PFH or SSH accessory hitches are not
compatible with the 3P1006NT.
Note: The Great Plains extension hitch is compatible with
most standard quick hitches.
Mount the extension on the tractor before hitching to the
drill.
Refer to Figure 3
1.
Use a lift or hoist to bring the extension upright and
lift it high enough to engage with the lower arms of
the tractor 3-point.
2. Align the tractor-side (front) top link with the
tractor top link arm, and secure with a pin provided
with the extension. The lift or hoist may be removed.
3. Adjust the tractor top link as needed, and swing the
extension until the tractor-side lower links
are
aligned with the tractor’s lower arms. Secure with
pins provided with the extension.
Semi-Mounted Hitching
If a hitch extension is required, mount it on the tractor
before hitching the drill.
4. Raise or lower tractor 3-point arms, or hitch
extension, as needed and pin lower arms to drill.
Upper arm is unused.
5. Set your tractor 3-point draft control to Float position.
Equipment Damage Risk:
Do not raise 3-point until after hydraulic and electrical
connection have been made.
Note: The implement-side (back) top link is unused.
It provides a nearly ideal lifting point. Use a lower
hitch pin from the drill as needed.
Crushing Hazard:
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 tractor. Stop tractor
engine and set park brake before installing hitch pins.

Heavy Falling Object Hazard:
Never mount an extension hitch or setback kit by itself on the
drill. There is no top link on the drill to prevent the extension
from tipping forward, with risk of serious injury, or tipping
backward, causing equipment damage.
Extension: Hitch to the tractor FIRST.
Extension: Unhitch at the drill FIRST.
