guard cannot be opened without using a tool. Figure 1-1 illustrates the locking
principle and the corresponding transfers which indicate and illustrate the locks on
the machine.

CHOICE OF TRACTOR

You should always follow the recommendations laid down in the tractor's user
manual. If this is not possible, seek technical assistance.
The lawful transportation of the machine on public roads requires a tractor with
sufficient mass and braking capacity.
You should use a tractor which provides at least 103kW/140 HP at the PTO, but
which also cannot supply more than 200kW/280 HP.
The machine has a standard construction for 1,000 RPM, and is supplied from the
factory with a 1 3/4'' PTO shaft with a 20-spline yoke.
A suitable tractor will have a good range of gears for travelling at speeds of between
5 and 12km/h.
The tractor's hydraulic system should supply at least 170 bar, and the adjustable
relief valve must not permit more than 210 bar.
The drawbar of the precision chop forage harvester has a hitch eye, and for this
reason the tractor should preferably have a clevis drawbar. The drawbar pin should
have a diameter of 30mm.
Always select a tractor with a closed cab when using a precision chop forage
harvester.
