requirements vary according to whether the tailgate is
raised or lowered (see Table 2). Further information is
given in the "Road vehicles (Authorisation of Special
Types) (General) Order 2003" and "Road Vehicles
(Construction and Use) Regulations 1986".

7. PREPARATION OF THE MACHINE

Remove the PTO shaft and any other loose items from
the body of the machine.

8. PREPARATION OF THE TRACTOR

For good visibility down both sides of the machine when
working and reversing, the tractor should be fitted with
mirrors.
The minimum PTO power required to drive a Tomahawk
varies with model as shown in Table 3.

Table 3. Minimum tractor horsepower
However, the suitability of any particular tractor will
depend upon:
a) The size and weight of the bale to be spread
b) The availability of front counter weights
c) Whether the machine is to be used to transport
bales along the road.
The machine is designed to use the standard 540 rpm
PTO shaft.
The hydraulic valve block requires an unrestricted
return with a maximum return line pressure of 25 bar
(360 psi) measured at the outlet port of the valve
block. This is required to ensure correct operation of the
valve and to reduce heating of the oil.
Where the machine is to be operated on a tractor with
closed centre hydraulics and the flow can not be
controlled, the solenoid valve may be adapted with a
closed centre plug, details of which can be obtained from

8.1 Cable Valve Controls
The cable control unit mounting bracket should be fitted
inside the cab so that it is conveniently situated for the
operator. Structural members of the cab must not be
drilled or welded in order to site the bracket.
8.2 Solenoid Valve Control Desk & Junction Box
Side
marker
The control desk for the solenoid valve is supplied with a
suction cup attachment. This should be fitted in the cab
in a suitable position that is convenient for the operator

The electric control supply cable should be connected to
the tractor's auxiliary 3 pin socket. Should a socket not
be available then the control desk must be wired directly
to the battery. Remove the connector plug to reveal the
brown and blue wires, brown is positive, blue is
negative. Wire directly to the battery with a suitable lead
and insulated connectors. A power lead with a 3 pin
female connector is available (part number SC3598).
If the supply cable is connected to the battery with
the wrong polarity the control desk and junction
box will not power up and the Bluetooth
connection LED will not illuminate.
If the fuse on the power lead to the junction box should
blow this will be indicated by the red LED illuminating.
Under no circumstances remove the fuse holder or
use fuses with a higher rating than 7.5amps.
Warranty will be invalidated if this occurs.
The control desk will not turn on until the Bluetooth
connection with the machine has been established, the
LED stops flashing and is illuminated.

9. FITTING THE MACHINE ONTO THE TRACTOR

9.1 Fitting The PTO Shaft
Hitch the machine to the tractor either on the 3 point
linkage or on the drawbar.
Proceed as follows:
9.1.1 Measure the distance between the annular groove
on the tractor output shaft to the annular groove on the
machine input shaft.
9.1.2 Measure approximately the distance between the
retaining balls of each sliding yoke at either end of the
PTO shaft with it fully collapsed.
9.1.3 If the distance between the grooves is 150mm (6")
longer or more than the distance between the locking
balls then the PTO shaft will not require cutting.
If the distance is less than 150mm the PTO shaft will
need to be shortened. Calculate the difference between
the two measured values and add 150mm (6").
answer is the amount to be removed from each half of the
PTO shaft.
For example:
Distance measured between grooves 1100mm
Length of shaft between locking balls 1200mm
Length to reduce shaft by = (1200 - 1100 ) +150
Length to reduce shaft by = 100 +150
Length to reduce shaft by = 250 mm
