4 Adjustment Procedures
Installing the trailer on the tractor
When you first use the TRB trailer with a tractor, it is important to make sure that the trailer is
completely level. The height of the ring hitch is adjustable so that the trailer can adapt to
different types of tractors. To adjust the height of the hitch, you must remove the ten bolts that
hold the flange in place. Replace the bolts when the hitch is at the right height.
The recommended oil flow for effective operation of the TBR trailer is 45 L/min (10 GPM).
Adjusting the loading arm
Figure 4.1 shows the optimal placement of the forks on the loading arm according to the
diameter of the bales to be transported.
Figure 4.1 Optimal placement of forks
The loading arm can be adjusted according to the length of the bales to be transported. To pick
up bales 1.2 m (4 ft) in length, you need to install the square tube between the forks (see
Figure 4.2). This tube is not needed to transport bales 1.5 m (5 ft) in length. In this case, the
tube is stored on the frame.
