Pick-up Hitch (Option)

IMPORTANT: The maximum static load is 2000 kg (4410 lb). The maximum tow weight is 8000 kg (17635 lb) for 3215 and 3220 and 10000 kg (22045 lb) for 3415 and 3420 handler. This MUST NOT be exceeded.

Never use the automatic pick-up hitch to lift the rear of the machine, for example to remove rear wheels etc.

The machine must never be in motion with the hitch in its lowest position, except for the sole purpose of connecting or disconnecting a trailer. There must always be adequate clearance under the hook to prevent it coming into contact with the ground or any obstructions.

The automatic pick-up hitch (A) is raised and lowered by a hydraulic cylinder (B) and is fully self-supporting when locked in the raised position.
