Hydraulic Center Link

The length of the hydraulic center link can be adjusted from the driver's seat using the 3rd selective control valve. In addition, the center link can be actuated from the remote control switches on the fender.

Attached to the hydraulic center link is a measuring rod which is intended to facilitate adjustment of the center link when in operation. For this purpose, the rod has marks on it to assist in positioning. The rod is not suitable for use as a handhold when in transport or during installation and removal.

Route the hydraulic hoses so that the loops face upwards away from coupling area of the center link. Connect supply line (A) to the top port on SCV 3; connect supply line (B) to the bottom port on SCV 3.

With the hydraulic center link, before starting any journey or operating in the field the operator must be certain that the three-point hitch has sufficient clearance for all possible movements. The center link must not come into contact with other parts of the tractor at any point within its vertical and horizontal ranges.

With mounted implement, retract the center link fully. On the CommandCenter screen, set the mark to "MIN". Use the hitch control to raise the implement fully. Carefully move the mark in the CommandCenter towards "MAX" until the implement reaches its highest possible position.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the center link and its bracket on the tractor, the hydraulic center link may be operated only in the top and center holes of the center link bracket.

If severe wear occurs at guide rails (C) on the PTO housing, the rails must be replaced with new ones in order to prevent the center link from coming into contact with the hydraulic block.

When attaching the center link to or removing it from the tractor, remember that the center link is very heavy.
