Attaching Machine to Tractor (With Quick-Coupler)

IMPORTANT: Before attaching machine to tractor, be sure hitch pins and spacers are assembled to match tractor hitch configuration. See POSITIONING ROCKSHAFT HITCH PINS in Preparing the Machine section.

  1. Set the hitch load/depth control to “position” to prevent unexpected hitch movement. See Preparing the Tractor section.

  2. CAUTION: Do not stand between tractor and machine unless tractor transmission is in “PARK”.

    NOTE: Place rockshaft control lever fully forward when operating in the field. This will allow machine to follow ground contours.
