Tractor Hydraulics; Front End Weight; Tire Spacing; Getting On And Off The Tractor - Schulte Titan 5000 II Series Operator's Manual

3.4 Drawbar
Ensure that the drawbar is rated to carry the tongue weight of the implement. Also ensure there is a safety
chain attachment point on the drawbar.

3.5 Tractor Hydraulics

The grate and bucket are operated by two separate hydraulic circuits. The circuits are connected by check
valves that lower the grate before raising the bucket. This is to avoid interference between the grate side plates
and the bucket. Familiarize yourself with the operation of the grate and bucket before attempting field work.

3.6 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

3.7 Tire Spacing

Tractor tires should be set a minimum of 60" (1.5
m) apart measured from inside of tire to inside of
tire, or maximum width possible. Refer to the
tractor Operator's Manual
authorized dealer for instructions to change
tractor tire spacing. OPS-R-0062

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.

4.1 Boarding the Tractor

Use both hands and equipped handrails and steps for support when boarding the tractor. Never use control
levers for support when mounting the tractor. Seat yourself in the operator's seat and secure the seat belt
around you.
Never allow passengers to ride on the tractor or attached equipment. Riders can easily fall off and be seriously
injured or killed from falling off and being ran over. It is the operator's responsibility to forbid all extra riders at
all times. OPS-U- 0008
