Quick Hitch - New Holland T6010 Operator's Manual

QUICK HITCH

(where fitted)
The quick hitch consists of an alternative pair of lower
links (1) and an adjustable top link (2). The lower links
and the top link have open claw ends that permit
rapid coupling and uncoupling of implements without
leaving the cab. The claws are equipped with
self-locking latches to ensure positive retention of
the tractor linkage to the implement. Cables are
provided for attachment to the latches.
An adjustable spacer spring is available as an
accessory. The spring maintains the lower links at
the width setting required to match that of the
implement.
Three ball-bushings are supplied for installation on the
implement, if required. The ball-bushing with projecting
lips (1) should be installed on the implement upper
hitch pin. The two plain ball-bushings (3) with their
detachable guides (2) should be installed on the
implement lower hitch pins.
Coupling Implement to Tractor
Adjust the stabilisers to maintain the tractor lower links
at the correct distance apart so they align with the
ball-bushings installed on the implement lower hitch
pins. Alternatively, use the optional, adjustable spacer,
if available. The spacer consists of a closed spring, with
a rod screwed into one end. To adjust, remove the 'R'
clip and disconnect the spacer rod from the bracket on
the right-hand lower link. Screw the rod into or out of
the spring to shorten or lengthen the assembly.
