Attaching an implement

WARNING: If two people are involved
in attaching an implement, great care
must be taken. When making any
adjustment to the hydraulic lift system the person
in the area of the linkage must stand clear.
1. Place the Draft Control Lever in the fully raised
position.
2. Lower the links using Position Control, back the
tractor up to the implement, raise the lower links
so that the left-hand link is in line with the pin on
the implement.
3. Apply the parking brake before dismounting from
the tractor.
4. Fit the left-hand lower link first and secure with a
lynch-pin. If any small up and down adjustments
of the lower links are necessary they must be
made from the driver's seat.
5. Attach the right-hand lower link to the implement.
Use the leveling lever if necessary to adjust the
height of the link, then fit the lynch-pin.
6. Attach the top link to the hitch point on the tractor
(Fig. 69).
On implements which have variable top and bottom
attachment points, the linkage should be connected
in accordance with the dimensions given in Table 1
depending on the category of linkage used (Fig. 70).
Linkage type Lower link width
Category I 683 mm (27 in)
Category II 825 mm (33 in)
Table 1 Linkage to ISO standard 730/1
With heavy implements this will reduce unnecessary
strain on the tractor and loss of lift capacity. Some
implements have two or more optional positions for
the lower links. Providing the implement will penetrate
to the required depth, reasonably rapidly, it is usually
best to use the lowest pick-up point provided. This
will give the maximum weight transfer, minimize
hydraulic system pressure and power losses. Also
giving maximum transport height and allowing the
use of the correct 'A' frame height setting on the
implements.
7. If the leveling lever was used to facilitate the
attachment of the right-hand lower link, adjust the
right-hand lift rod to its normal operating length by
screwing the lift rod in or out until the implement is
level.
8. Adjust the top link as necessary to level the
implement
9. Adjust the length of the stabilizer (Fig. 68).
10. Connect the implement to the PTO shaft, if
required, and attach guards (see page 43).
11. Raise and lower the implement, checking
clearances and general operation.
