Positions of Center Link Arm

CQ294924
CQ294924-UN-28NOV13

Center link bracket has holes for three hitch positions. The positions directly affect the sensitivity and draft force.

Move connection point of center link to upper holes (A) or (C) if:

  • The hitch moves excessively while working with draft control.
  • The rear part of the implement comes up too much when raised. The weight of the implement that can be raised is reduced slightly if connected to the center link through one of its lower holes.
  • The adjustment range of the draft control lever is too small.

Move connection point of center link to lower holes (A) or (B) if:

  • The hitch gives the impression that it does not respond to draft control and lets engine idle speed reduce too much before raising pick-up hitch.
  • The rear part of the implement drags on the ground when implement is raised.

Category I implements that have their center link at a height of 457 mm (18 in.) normally use the lower two holes; those of Category II that have their center link at a height of 483 mm (19 in.) use the two upper holes.
