3-Point Hitch; Attaching To Tractor - Titan Implement 7000 Series Operation And Parts Manual

5.2.3 3-Point Hitch

These disc harrows are designed to be mounted on a
tractor CAT I 3-Point or Quick Hitch. The 7400 models
are equipped with stepped pins to accommodate CAT l
or CAT ll hitches.
Refer to the tractor Operator's Manual for the category
of the tractor being used. If the hitch does not conform
to ASABE CAT I dimensions, the disc harrow may
not fit or raise properly. Consult an authorized dealer
for possible modification procedures to mount non-
conforming hitches. Depending on the hitch category,
certain size pins are used to attach the implement to
the tractor. CAT I hitches require 7/8" lower and 3/4"
upper diameter hitch pins.
Always set the 3-point hitch in the "float" mode to allow
the disc harrow to follow the contour of the ground.
Many newer tractors are equipped with "load sensing"
hydraulics. It is the responsibility of the operator to set
the tractor hydraulic system to provide ''float" on the
3-point hitch. Refer to the tractor manual for details.
Install the lift arm stabilizer or shorten the stop chains
to place the arms into the non-sway con figuration.
Refer to the tractor manual for details.
Always install weights on the front of the tractor to
provide extra stability and traction. This is particularly
important if your tractor is equipped with a front wheel
assist option.

5.3 Attaching to Tractor

Use caution when connecting the disc harrow to the
tractor. The disc harrow should be securely resting at
ground level or setting on blocks. Keep hands and feet
from under the plow and clear of pinch points between
the tractor hitch arms and disc harrow hitch pins.
WARNING
Crush Hazard
Crush hazard between hitch and implement.
Do not allow anyone to stand between the hitch
and implement during hook-up operations.
Never operate the hydraulic 3-point lift controls
while someone is directly behind the tractor.
1. Shorten or remove the tractor drawbar to avoid
interference when raising and lowering the disc
harrow.
2. Board the tractor and start the engine. Position the
tractor with the 3-point lift arms positioned at the
same height and to the outside of the disc harrow
hitch pins.
Note: Set the 3-point lift control to "Position Control"
so that the lift arms maintain a constant height
when attaching the disc harrow. See the tractor
Operator's Manual for correct settings when
attaching 3-point equipment.
3. Turn off the tractor engine and dismount.
4. One lift arm at a time, insert hitch pin through the lift
arm holes and install retaining pin.
5. Walk around to the opposite side and repeat the
procedure for the remaining lift arm and hitch pin.
6. Extend or retract the 3-point top link to align its end
hole with the hole of the disc harrow's top link. Insert
the top link hitch pin and insert the retaining pin into
the hitch pin.
7. Adjust any lower link check chains, guide blocks,
or sway blocks to prevent the disc harrow from
swaying side-to-side and possible contact with the
tractor rear tires.
