3-Point Hitch - Schulte SBX-75/87 Operator's Manual

3.4 3-Point Hitch

The tractor 3-point hitch must be rated to lift at least
575 lbs (261 kg) if attaching a SBX-75 and 675 lbs
(306kg) if attaching a SBX-87.
The Snow Blower can attach to tractor's with a CAT
I hitch. The snowblower comes with CAT I pins.
Refer to the tractor operator's manual for the
category of the tractor used. If the hitch does not
conform to ASABE Cat I dimensions, the implement
may not fit or raise properly. Consult an authorized
dealer for possible modification procedures to
mount nonconforming hitches.
Use the correct hitch pins for the hitch category
being used. For a Cat I hitch, 7/8" lower and 3/4"
upper diameter hitch pins are used.
CAT I Implement / Hitch Specification
Width from outside to outside A-frame.........26-7/8"
Quick Hitch width inside lug to lug ...............27-1/8"
Height from bottom hitch pin to top pin .............. 18"
Lower pin diameter ........................................... 7/8"

Never crawl under a raised Implement supported solely by the Tractor 3-Point hitch.
Release of the control lever or mechanical failure will result in the Implement falling and
possible injury or death. Always securely block up the Implement before crawling
underneath to perform repairs and service.
A rear Implement can fall if not properly supported. Always use the stand on the front hitch
(if equipped) or block up securely to prevent falling and possible crushing injury and/or
other injury from holding or lifting heavy components. Use the stand to stabilize the
implement during storage.
Tractor Hydraulics
To be able to operate the hydraulic chute rotator the tractor requires a dual remote outlet. This is only required
on units with the hydraulic chute rotator. The hydraulic chute allows you to rotate your chute to blow snow at
different angles. Be particularly careful when rotating the chute at different angles, be sure there are no
bystanders or animals within 200 ft. in the direction you are blowing snow.
