Attaching Machine to Tractor (Seeding Tool or Tow-Between Cart)

CAUTION: Help prevent personal injury caused by unexpected movement of the machine. Engage parking brake and/or place transmission in "PARK", shut off engine, and remove key before working around hitch.

1. Back tractor into position and attach hitch link to drawbar using pin (A). Be sure hitch pin is retained, following instructions in tractor operator's manual.

CAUTION: A safety chain will help control drawn equipment should it accidentally separate from the drawbar while transporting. A runaway machine could cause severe injury or death to a motorist, bystander or the operator. Using the appropriate adapter parts, attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support or other specified anchor location. Provide only enough slack in chain to permit turning. See your John Deere dealer for a chain with a strength rating equal to or greater than the gross weight of the towed machine.

2. Attach safety chain (B) to tractor drawbar.

IMPORTANT: Fan motor case drain MUST be attached to low-pressure drain connection (LESS THAN 689 kPa [6.89 bar] [100 psi]) or fan motor will be damaged.

IMPORTANT: Installation of a Low-Pressure Drain Line Kit is required if towing tractor is not so equipped. Refer to LOW-PRESSURE DRAIN CONNECTION in Preparing the Tractor - General section for appropriate kit.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE other ports at the rear of the tractor (such as power-beyond ports) which may be similar in appearance and size to low-pressure drain port. Due to high back-pressure (over 689 kPa [6.89 bar] [100 psi]), drain connection to these ports WILL RESULT in fan motor damage.

3. Attach fan motor case drain hose (A) to low-pressure drain coupler (B). Refer to HYDRAULIC COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION-8000 and 9000 SERIES TRACTORS.

IMPORTANT: When operating with a John Deere 735 or 1810 Seeding Tool, a second low-pressure drain connection must be made for proper operation of depth control relief circuit. Depth control bleed-off hose can be connected to motor return, power beyond port, or to an open SCV if available. If connection is made to an open SCV port, place control lever for this SCV in "FLOAT" position when operating.

Drain line kit must route to appropriate diagnostic port or drain location as shown for 60 and 70 series 4WD tractors and 9000 series tractors.

CAUTION: Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before attaching hydraulic hoses to couplers.

CAUTION: Hydraulic hoses can fail due to physical damage, kinks, age and exposure. Check hoses regularly. Replace damaged hoses.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to correctly connect depth control hoses to couplers when attaching 1810 Seeding Tool with TouchSet ™ Depth Control to John Deere 8000 or 9000 Series Tractors. If hose connections are reversed, machine will not respond to TouchSet ™ controls. Oil flow must agree with symbols on hose identification tag; "EXTEND" hose always goes in left coupler.

4. Plug depth control hoses (A) into No. 1 hydraulic coupler.

5. Plug wing-fold hoses into No. 2 hydraulic coupler.

6. Plug fan/auger hoses into No. 3, No. 4 or No. 5 hydraulic coupler.

Connect hoses so fan turns with SCV lever in forward position. Usually the hose with the extra adapter goes in the left-hand SCV port.
