Fixed Tow Pin (Piton) - New Holland T6010 Operator's Manual

The tow pin may be allowed to swivel after loosening
the socket-headed screw (1) Figure 178 on the
underside of the tow pin assembly. This feature will
permit a trailer with a non-swivelling drawbar to
articulate relative to the towing tractor.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow the tractor tow pin to
swivel if the trailed equipment is equipped with a
swivelling tow pin connector.
NOTE: The static downward load on the tow pin must
not exceed 2000 kg (4400 lb.) or the rear tyre load
capacity, whichever is lower. (See Tyre Pressures
and Permissible Loads at the end of Section 3).

Fixed Tow Pin (Piton)

An optional fixed tow pin (piton) may be provided at
the bottom of the assembly.
To attach a trailer to the piton, remove the linch pin
(2) and withdraw the retaining pin (4). Lift the security
latch (1) and lower the eye of the trailer drawbar over
the piton (3). Drop the security latch down, re-insert
the retaining pin and secure with the linch pin. The
security latch will ensure that the trailer cannot
become accidentally detached from the piton
NOTE: The static downward load on the piton must
not exceed 3000 kg (6600 lb.) or the rear tyre load
capacity, whichever is lower. (See Tyre Pressures
and Permissible Loads at the end of Section 3).
