Attaching Three-Point Hitch Equipment - New Holland Workmaster 25 Tier 4B Operator's Manual

Attaching three-point hitch equipment

WARNING
Entanglement hazard!
Before attaching or detaching equipment or changing the Power Take-Off (PTO) shaft: 1) Apply the
parking brake. 2) Move all controls to neutral and PTO control knob to the disengaged position. 3)
Stop the engine and remove the key. 4) Wait for the PTO shaft to stop turning before leaving the cab.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE: When attaching mounted or semi mounted implement to the three-point linkage, ensure that there is ade-
quate clearance between the implement and the rear of the tractor. The clearances in the raised position should be
checked by raising the implement carefully with the position control lever. With the implement fully raised there must
be at least 100 mm (4 in). Clearance between the implement and the nearest part of the tractor.
Most implements can be attached to the tractor as follows:
1. Position the tractor so that the lower link hitch points are level with and slightly ahead of the implement hitch pins.
Carefully bring the tractor rearwards to match the tractor and implement hitch points. First attach the left-hand
lower link, then by adjusting the leveling box, attach the right lower link.
2. Lengthen or shorten the top link until the implement mast pin can be inserted through the mast and upper link of
the implement.
3. When detaching the implement, the procedure is the reverse of attaching. The following hints will make detaching
easier and safer.
• Always park the implement on a level, firm surface.
• Implement should be supported so that it cannot tip or fall when detached from the tractor.
• Always relieve all hydraulic pressure in any remote cylinders before detaching.
Left-hand lift rod adjustment
WARNING
Crushing hazard!
Before disconnecting a lift rod from the lower link, lower the attached implement to the ground, and
stop the engine. Make sure the attached implement is correctly supported and no pressure remains
in the hydraulic system before removing the lift rod securing pins.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE: The left-hand lift rod (1) is adjustable but must be removed from the lift arm before length can be changed.
To lengthen or shorten the left-hand lift rod (1) remove the
bolt and nut (2) from the lift rod and lower link (3). Rotate
the top half of the lift rod clockwise to reduce the length
and counter-clockwise to increase the length.
