Adjusting The Limit Chains And Height Of The Hitch; Attaching The Model 615 Below Pin 628300, And Models 616 And 617; Adjust The Hitch Pins For The Tractor’s Tread Width - New Holland 615 Operator's Manual

Adjusting the Limit chains and height of the
hitch
Set the limit chain length and the height of the hitch
pins as follows:
1. Level the tractor lower lift links from side-to-side.
Adjust and lock the sway bars to remove as much
side movement as possible.
IMPORTANT: The tractor lower links should be
positioned straight behind the tractor, or have
minimal offset. Excessive offset in either direction
may cause damage to the mower PTO drive shaft
because of excessive operating angles or contact
with hitch pins. This can also put "lead" or "lag" into
the cutter bar, resulting in reduced cutting width and
proper breakaway performance.
2. Adjust the limit chain length so that when the
mower is supported by the limit chains that the
hitch pins, 1, are a minimum of 609 mm (24 in)
above the ground.
IMPORTANT: If the high stubble kit is installed on the
mower, adjust the frame height to 660 mm (26 in)
from the ground to provide adequate flotation.
ATTACHING THE MODEL 615 BELOW PIN
628300, AND MODELS 616 AND 617
Adjust the Hitch Pins for the Tractor's Tread
Width
Before attaching the mower to the tractor, the
mower's hitching alignment must be adjusted to
match the tractor. Depending on the size of the
tractor and its wheel spacing, it may be necessary to
move the hex-shaped lower lift pins, 1.
IMPORTANT: Ideally a 102 mm (4 in) clearance
should be held between the outside edge of the
tractor tire and the right edge of the mower's inner
shield.
