Tractor Preparation

The Landoll 7431 VT Plus is designed to be pulled by
tractor equipped with a double lip or clevis type hitch. If
your tractor is not equipped as such, you need to
purchase the hitch from your local tractor dealer. If your
VT Plus is equipped with the clevis option, this should be
removed. The clevis option is only for transport use.
Before attaching the VT Plus, prepare the tractor as
follows:
1. Inflate the rear tractor tires equally and add ballast
according to the tractor operator's manual.
2. Lock the tractor drawbar in the center position.
