Set Up
Ensure you have 9 inches between the rear tire and the end of the lower 3-point arm.
3 Point Connection
Ensure Lower arms are stabilized to prevent excessive side movement. Slowly back up the tractor to the TR3-E while
using 3-point hydraulic control to align hitch holes in lower 3-point arms with hitch pins on the implement. Secure
lower arms to the implement using the hitch pins provided.
Attach the tractor to the lower arms. There are two connecting holes on
the TR3-E for the bottom arms of the tractor to attach to. If the TR3-E
is connected to the bottom holes, be sure to connect the top link in the
bottom hole on the mast as well. Likewise, if the lower arms of the trac-
tor are connected to the TR3 in the top hole, connect the top link using
the top hole as well. The top hole is the suggested hole for operating
your TR3-E. If you are regularly loading and unloading your TR3-E off of
a trailer, the lower holes will give you the clearance to do this.
Each TR3-E is shipped with a complimentary 20 inch top link, but feel
free to use your own. Some tractors require a smaller top link, such
as what came with your tractor, or that are available for purchase at a
local tractor dealer.
Sub-compact tractors: If you are using a sub-compact tractor, you may need front
mounted counterweights to be able to use your ABI tool. This will ensure the front
end of the tractor remains securely on the ground without loss of steering control.
If a front end loader is installed on your tractor, this may minimize the need for front
mounted counterweights. Additionally, you will need to adjust the speed of your
3 point hitch system so it runs as slow as possible. This will aid implement control
while rough grading and help to ensure no material pile is left behind when lifting
the tool as you exit the arena. Please consult your tractor owner's manual to confirm.
Before you set up your tool, confirm that the wheels are set in the
standard operating position (lower hole).
