CAUTION: Avoid possible personal injury and tractor damage. DO NOT use front hitch to lift tractor. Use correct lifting equipment and make sure that load is balanced side-to side and front-to rear.

Seven terminal outlet (A) on front hitch mirrors functions of tractor rear seven terminal outlet. Seven terminal outlets are used to connect lights, turn signals, and remote electrical equipment on implements. Always use auxiliary light on towed implement when tractor rear signals and other lights are obscured.

Factory installed front SCV couplers (B) are connected through top two SCVs at rear of tractor and respond to CommandARM SCV levers. See Connecting Front Hitch SCVs in this section.

External raise (C) and lower (D) switches enable front hitch height adjustment without operator being in cab.

Front hitch is equipped with upper locking plate (E) and lower locking plate (F) which are adjustable to meet application requirements. Upper locking plate is used in applications that do not require front PTO and where greater hitch rigidity is desired.

Lower locking plate is used for both PTO and non-PTO implements applications. It provides torsional support to keep lift arms timed and allows front hitch to roll or float when required to follow contours. Lower locking plate is factory installed with V pointed up for greater ground clearance. However, it must be inverted to provide front PTO driveline clearance (G) during front PTO operations.
