Tractor Hook-Up; Driveline Installation - Land Pride RTR2570 Operator's Manual

Section 1: Assembly and Set-up

Tractor Hook-Up

Refer to Figure 1-3:
1. When using tractors with multispeed PTO, be certain
PTO is set for 540 RPM.
2. Back tractor up to tiller until lower 3-Point links are
aligned with hitch clevises on tiller.
3. Secure the tractor's 3-Point lower links to the lower
hitch clevises using 7/8" diameter hitch pins.
4. Secure the tractor's top link to the tiller top hitch
using a 3/4" diameter hitch pin (supplied by
customer). Adjust tractor top link in order to level the
tiller.
5. Adjust the tractor's 3-Point hitch lift height so that the
tiller tines are not lifted more than 14" off the ground
to prevent damage to the driveline u-joints.

Driveline Installation

Refer to Figure 1-4 & Figure 1-5:
The tiller driveline is coupled to the tractor and implement
shafts with either push pin couplers, pull collar couplers
or a combination of both and with a slip clutch on one end
for protection from shock loads.
Always engage the PTO at low engine rpm to minimize
start-up torque on the driveline. Drivelines with friction
clutches must go through a "run-in" operation prior
to initial use and after long periods of inactivity. See
"Section 4: Maintenance and Lubrication" on page 16 for
a detailed description of maintaining the driveline.
!
CAUTION
Tractor PTO shield and all tiller guards must be in place at all
times during operation!
