Top Link; Stabiliser (If Equipped); Automatic Stabiliser (If Equipped) - Kubota M7132 Operator's Manual

THE 3-POINT HITCH SETUP

6. Top link

WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• When extending the top link, do not exceed the
groove on the top link thread, or the top link will
come apart and the 3-point equipment may fall.
1. Adjust the angle of the implement to the desired
position by shortening or lengthening the top link.
2. Then return the lock handle to the "LOCK" position.
3. The proper length of the top link varies according to
the type of implement being used.
(1) Top link
(2) Lock handle

7. Stabiliser (if equipped)

The right-side stabiliser does not usually require
adjustment.
Make sure to use the left-side automatic stabilizer for 3-
point hitch mounted implement sideways movement
and regulation thereof.
Do not remove the stabilizer lynch pin, as its removal
will lead to the risk of contact between the lower link
and the tyre when the implement is detached. As well,
the lower link width will change when the lynch pin
mounting hole position is changed.

8. Automatic stabiliser (if equipped)

The raised or lowered implement can be automatically
swung from side to side or locked.
• To swing the implement during the work and
keep the raised implement locked during the
tractor swivel:
– Readjust the chain length in the following way:
so that the lock cover is "released" when the
lower link is in its working range, and "locked"
when the tractor is swivelled with the lower link
is raised.
• To keep the implement from swinging during
the work and tractor swivel alike:
– Readjust the chain length so that the lock cover
is always "locked" even if the lower link is
moved up and down.
