Implement Guidelines

NOTE:

    The following implements should NOT be used:

  • Loaders

  • Dozer blades

  • Front hitch

  • Front-mounted spray tanks

  • Scrapers with Wide Axle Option 2235-3035 mm (92-120 in.)

Use following guidelines with accompanying chart:

Drawbar Implements

Swinging drawbar is not recommended unless an operation requires implement to be left in the ground during turns. Some implements may have hydraulically-controlled drawbar angling to assist in turning.

Semi-Integral Implements

Partial hitch sway may be necessary to make minor steering corrections. For precise operation, such as cultivating, full sway is not recommended.

Integral Implements

Partial hitch sway is required to make minor steering corrections. For precise operation, such as cultivating, full sway is not recommended.

Implement must use gauge wheels and tractor lift arms should be allowed to float.

NOTE: MOST heavy draft implements use full hitch sway and have gauge wheels on the implement.

Mounted rippers should use full hitch sway.
