3.3 Tractor 3-Point Hitch
The tractor 3-point hitch must be rated to lift at least
1015 lbs. for the 8', and 1055 lbs. for the 9'.
The 100 Series attaches to a tractor with a CAT I or
II hitch. Refer to the tractor operator's manual for the
category of the tractor used. If the hitch does not
conform to the ASABE CAT I or II dimensions, the
blade may not fit or raise properly. Consult an
authorized
dealer
for
procedures to mount nonconforming hitches.
Use the correct hitch pins for the hitch category
being used. For a Cat I hitch, 7/8" lower hitch pins
are used, and 3/4" top hitch pins are used. For a
CAT II hitch, 1-1/18" lower hitch pins are used, and
1" top hitch pins are used.

3.4 Front End Weight
A minimum of 20% total tractor weight must be maintained on the tractor front end at all times. Front end
weight is critical to maintain steering control and to prevent the tractor from rearing up while driving. If the
front end is too light, add weight until a minimum of 20% total weight is reached on the front tires. Front
weights and weight carriers can be purchased through an authorized tractor dealership. OPS-U- 0005
4. GETTING ON AND OFF THE TRACTOR
Before getting onto the tractor, the operator must read and completely understand the implement and tractor
operator manuals. If any part of either manual is not completely understood, consult an authorized dealer for
a complete explanation. OPS-U- 0007
Do not mount or dismount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount
the Tractor only when the Tractor and all moving parts are completely
stopped.
