TRACTOR PREPARATION

The Landoll 2320 Series Weatherproofer II 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 Weather-
proofer II is equipped with the clevis option, this
should be removed. The clevis option is only for
transport use. Before attaching the Weatherproofer
II, prepare the tractor as follows:
