Using Yard Hitch (Tow-Behind Cart)

CAUTION: Yard hitch is not a transport hitch and should not be used to move cart from field-to-field on public roads.

Like any other hitch, always use a safety chain when attaching yard hitch to tractor. A safety chain will help control cart, should hitch accidentally separate from the tractor drawbar.

CAUTION: Tow with yard hitch only when tanks are empty, and never with an implement attached to the rear of the cart.

Yard hitch (A) is available for moving tow-behind cart around the farm yard, when long, field hitch would be difficult to use.

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

2. Attach safety chain (C) to tractor, leaving enough slack to permit turning.
