USING THE HITCH PLATE
Use only the hitch plate (See Figure 21), for towing
pull-behind equipment (carts, trailers, etc.) or drag-
ging loads.
Raise the lower links of the three point hitch to their
highest position to prevent interference with the
towed equipment.
IMPORTANT:
When transporting pull-behind
equipment on public roadways, always use a
safety chain to supplement the connection
between the tractor and towed equipment. The
safety chain must have a strength rating equal
to or greater than the gross weight of the equip-
ment being towed.
REMOVING THE REAR PTO COVER
The rear PTO cover is a safety feature designed to
prevent items from accidentally being caught by the
rotating shaft. The cover should be removed only
when the rear PTO is being utilized.
To remove and reinstall the cover, proceed as
follows:
•
Loosen the two screws on the left side of the
cover. Refer to Figure 20.
•
Slide the cover to the right until the slots of the
cover are free of the screws and pull the cover
off. See Figure 20.

three

hydraulic lift system to raise and lower the three
point hitch and set the height position of the
implement.
Refer to the ADJUSTMENTS section for instruc-
tions on adjusting the RH adjustable lift link, top
hitch link, and hitch chains. See Figure 21.
