Hitch Conversion

IMPORTANT: Damage to tractor and machine can occur if machine comes in contact with tractor. Use Category 3N hitch on tractor when using machine equipped with 762 mm (30 in.) row spacings.

Quick-coupler is convertible to Category 3 (A) or Category 3N (narrow) (B). Use Category 3 whenever possible, especially for heavy loads. Its greater width gives more strength. See tractor Operator's Manual for instruction for desired hitch setting.
