Do not use the unit until you are sure that the area is clear, especially children and animals. • Don’t hurry the learning process or take the unit for granted. Ease into it and become familiar with your new equipment. Bigham Ag Stack Fold Hipper Page | 12...
This is particularly important with higher noise levels and quiet cabs, as you may not hear people shouting. • NO PASSENGERS ALLOWED - Do not carry passengers anywhere on, or in, the tractor or equipment, except as required for operation. Bigham Ag Stack Fold Hipper Page | 13...
When driving the tractor and equipment on the road or highway under 40 kph (20 mph) at night or during the day, use flashing amber warning lights and a slow moving vehicle (SMV) identification emblem. • Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic. Bigham Ag Stack Fold Hipper Page | 14...

Stack Lock Adjustment The BIGHAM Ag Stack Fold Hipper Implement is equipped with the BIGHAM STACK LOCK feature. This feature helps lock the two lift arms together when the Implement is in the Stacked (folded) position. To ensure that this Stack Lock Feature is always engaged, there has been some adjustment built into the assembly.
Setting the Furrowing Plow Depth Each Hipper Implement comes from BIGHAM with a specific set up on the furrowing plow depth. A general good initial setting is with the Hipper Implement drum, chopper, or tumbler basket 4” to 4.5” from a good flat surface when the furrow plows are evenly touching the same flat surface.

If less down-pressure is desired, loosen the spring bolt by turning the nut counter- clockwise. When decreasing the pressure, do NOT loosen the nut past the nylon insert in the nut. Figure 5 Bigham Ag Stack Fold Hipper Page | 20...
Page 21
Wing Leveling Adjustment Each BIGHAM Stack Fold Hipper Implement is equipped with heavy duty leveling bars that hold the wings level with the rest of the Hipper Implement frame. These leveling bars have a built in adjustment point to ensure that the Hipper Implement both stays engaged with the ground correctly, and folds without interference.
