Frontflex 2000
Operating and Driving Instructions
The Frontflex 2000 is constructed so that the implement's centre of gravity is
close to the tractor, reducing the weight of the implement on the tractor as
much as possible and easing operation.
Even when the Frontflex is mounted in the front lift, the implement is drawn
across the field, making it easier to pass over minor obstacles. The frame (A)
is mounted in three points (B and C). The pulling force of the tractor is trans-
mitted through point (C) which is the only rigidly mounted point. This feature
enables the operator to retain the steering capabilities of the tractor, which
must be given high priority if the Frontflex is to be part of a combination for
seedbed preparation.

When starting operation, lower the Frontflex and place the lift in a starting po-
sition so the implement and the tractor can function independently of one an-
other. If you are working in loose and friable soil and would like greater con-
trol over the machine, raise the linkage to reduce the slack in the chains. The
implement will then be hanging from the chains (almost tight) instead of rest-
ing on the main frame. If the rings start sinking too deeply into the ground, the
main frame and the packer module will quickly begin to hang from the chains.
Initially, start with the chains loose and the linkage resting on the nylon rail,
enabling the packer module to follow the contours of the field surface.
A working speed between 7 and 10 km/hour is recommended, but always
drive according to conditions.
Never load extra weight onto the Frontflex 2000, as the implement was
not designed to carry additional weight.
When using the double-acting front lift, weight must not be transferred
from the tractor to the Frontflex.
Raise the Frontflex before backing up or turning.
