Preparing Implement

IMPORTANT: When attaching Category I implements to the tractor, sway chains may need lengthening to prevent binding and limiting full raise of the hitch. (See Adjusting Hitch Side Sway in this section.)

Category I, 3-Point Hitch is narrower and is used on smaller implements than Category II implements. Refer to the chart below to identify implement category.

Category II implements should have the top hole of the implement mast located 483 mm (19 in.) above the lower pins. Drill another hole in top mast or extend top mast if necessary.
