Attach Pick-Up Weight to Hitch

Front Hitch

LX1049891-UN-11FEB11

To prevent the pick-up weight from swinging dangerously when it is raised, follow the installation procedure outlined below.

1. Engage the pick-up weight in the draft links but do NOT raise the weight at this stage.

2. Adjust the center link and engage it in the pick-up weight.

3. Raise the pick-up weight as high as it will go.

4. For removing the pick-up weight, reverse the attaching procedure.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to raise the pick-up weight unless it is already connected to the center link.

CAUTION: Do not use front-end ballast unless the rear of the tractor has an appropriate counterweight.

CAUTION: If no implement is installed on the rear end, install the pick-up weight on the rear hitch before driving to the field.

CAUTION: Incorrect ballasting has a negative effect on handling characteristics.

IMPORTANT: Comply with permissible axle loads and tire and wheel rim bearing capacities.

Rear Hitch

LX1046222-UN-13JUL11

Remove the adjusting rod and eye-bolts.

Put the swinging drawbar to its shortest position and swing it to the side.

Remove the height-adjustable trailer hitch (hitch only).

Install the center link bracket on the pick-up weight.

Reverse the tractor to the pick-up weight and proceed as for an implement.

NOTE: On tractors with extra-large tires, it may be necessary to adjust the lift links to their maximum length.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to raise the pick-up weight unless it is already connected to the center link.

CAUTION: Make sure that the hooks on the draft links are closed properly.

CAUTION: Install all retaining pins.

CAUTION: Steering may be adversely affected unless there is sufficient weight at the front end of the tractor (e.g. a front loader).

IMPORTANT: Comply with permissible rear axle loads and tire and wheel rim bearing capacities.
