— Operation GRAIN CARTS Hitching To Tractor Drawbar Connection This cart is intended to be hitched to a tractor drawbar. Do not attempt to hitch to any other location on the tractor other than the drawbar. The cart may be equipped standard with a single-tang hitch which utilizes a 1 1/2 inch diameter drawbar pin and must only be used with a clevis-type tractor drawbar.
— Operation GRAIN CARTS Hitching To Tractor (Continued) Always use intermediate chain support when connecting grain cart directly to a tractor. DO NOT use the intermediate chain support as the chain attaching point. Fig. 6 shows how the transport chain must be installed between tractor and grain cart.
This cart is equipped with a seven-pin SAE connector plug which will connect with the receptacle found on most newer tractors. If your tractor does not have this type of receptacle, an SAE J-560 seven-point socket can be purchased from your Unverferth dealer (Part number 92824).
