Use Tow-Behind Cart Yard Hitch

causym 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. If hitch accidentally separates from the tractor drawbar, a safety chain helps control cart.

causym 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. Verify hitch pin is retained, following instructions in tractor operator's manual.

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

NOTE: Yard hitch can be assembled to attach to drawbar with or without a hammerstrap.

DRAWBAR WITH HAMMERSTRAP: End plates are flush together with bushings (D) on the outside of the plates at top and bottom.

DRAWBAR WITHOUT HAMMERSTRAP: Bushings (E) are installed between end plates, keeping them apart.
