Extendible Pick-Up Hitch And Drawbar - New Holland T7030 Operator's Manual

EXTENDIBLE PICK- -UP HITCH AND DRAWBAR
(where fitted)
The extendible pick--up hitch is raised and lowered
by means of the tractor hydraulic system and can be
extended to aid visibility when attaching towed
equipment.
Operated through one of the rear remote valves, the
hitch is extended or retracted using the remote valve
lever. The hoses should be connected in such a way
that moving the remote valve lever to E (Extend) will
extend the hitch, moving the lever to R (Retract) will
retract the hitch.
NOTE: The illustration shows hitch operation
through remote valve number I, however, it may be
operated using an alternative valve where required.
To connect an implement to the pick--up hitch, move
both position and draft control levers fully rearwards
until the 3-point lift is supporting the weight of the
hitch.
To free the hitch, pull up and hold the release handle
(1). As soon as the hitch has cleared the locking
latches allow the release handle to lower.
Lower the hitch until it is clear of the locking latches
and then extend the hook or clevis rearwards by
moving the remote valve lever to (E). With the
drawbar extended continue to lower the hitch until it
is just above the ground.
