3-Point Tractor Hook-Up

Refer to Figure 1-10:

DANGER

Tractor hook-up to equipment is dangerous and can result in

serious injury or death. Do not allow anyone to stand between

the cutter and tractor during hook-up operations. Do not

operate the hydraulic 3-point lift controls while someone is

directly behind the tractor or near the cutter.

You will need to purchase two adapter bushings if

attaching this cutter to a 3-Point Category I hitch. See

“Category l Adapter Bushings” on page 9 for additional

information and bushing part number.

The tractor’s lower 3-Point arms must be stabilized to

prevent side-to-side movement. Most tractors have sway

blocks or adjustable chains for this purpose.

1. Locate on a flat and level concrete surface.

2. Slowly back tractor up to the Rotary Cutter while using

the tractor’s 3-point hydraulic control to position the

tractor’s lower hitch link holes (#1) in the clevis and

aligned with the hitch pins (#2).

3. Engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off

and remove key before dismounting from tractor.

4. Attach lower hitch link holes (#1) to the clevises with

hitch pins (#2). Secure with linch pins (#3).

5. Connect top center link (#4) to the upper hitch (#5)

with customer supplied clevis pin and linch pin. If

required, start tractor and slowly raise 3-point hitch

to align center link with hitch pin hole.

6. Ensure that lower hitch arms are blocked to prevent

excessive side movement.

7. Return to tractor and slowly operate controls up and

down to check for clearance between cutter deck and

tractor tires and drawbar. Move or remove drawbar if

it interferes.

8. Manually adjust a lower lift arm (#1) up or down to

level the Rotary Cutter from left to right.

9. Manually adjust the center link (#4) length to level

cutter from front to rear.

10. Final deck leveling adjustments will be made later.

11. The lift link rods on your tractor’s 3- point hitch should

be adjusted to allow for lateral float. Please consult

you tractor’s manual for adjusting instructions.
