Leveling the Hitch

The Kwik-Till must be parallel to the ground when the Kwik-
Till is operating in the field. A level hitch will reduce issues
in the field.
Attach the Kwik-Till to the tractor. Set tractor hitch sway limit-
ers for 'No Sway' operation. Check the tractor and Kwik-Till
for correct tire pressure and adjust as necessary.
1. Lower the Kwik-Till to the Field Lowered Position, by fully
retracting the Rear Roller
B
. The cylinders will bottom out on the Depth Stops
, and the disks will engage the soil at the set depth.
