3-POINT HITCH

1. Make preparations for attaching
implement.
BSelecting the holes of Lower Links
There are 3 holes in the lower links. For most operations
the lifting rods should be attached to the (B) hole.
(1) Lower link
(2) Lifting rod
A The lifting rods may be attached to (A) hole for higher
lifting height. (with reduced lifting force)
A The lifting rods may be attached to (C) for greater
lifting force.
BAdjusting Lateral Float
To allow the implement to follow ground contour, attach
the rectangular washers and pin heads in vertical position.
To hold the implement, reset the rectangular washers and
pin heads in horizontal position.
(1) Rectangular washer
(2) Pin head
holes: (A), (B), (C)
(A) Horizontal position
(B) Vertical position
C Floating mechanism
When the floating mechanism is used, the implement is
able to follow the tractor freely in response to the soil and
ground conditions. This is suited for operation with
implements wider than the tractor.
BSelecting the Top Link Mounting Holes
Select the proper set of holes by referring to the
"Hydraulic Control Unit Use Reference Chart" in Hydraulic
Unit section.
If the hydraulic unit is set for draft control, draft response
is more sensitive when an implement is connected to the
lower set of top link mounting holes. If draft control is not
required, it is recommended to use the top set (1).
BDrawbar
Remove the drawbar if a close mounted implement is
attached.
