needs to be shortened. Contact your local dealer if it is determined that the driveline
is too short for your tractor.
6. Raise the support stand and secure it with a pin.
On pull type tedder model DRP-480, always make sure to adjust the tractor drawbar as
specified to ASAE standards to prevent failures (see fig. 11). An improperly set hitch
could subject the driveline’s universal joints to undue stress.
The drawbar should be centered under the PTO shaft and secured so it cannot swing in
either direction.
CAUTION: Failure to conform to ASAE standards for drawbar PTO setup
dimensions can result in driveline damage and implement failure.
3.06 - Start Up
DANGER: The tedder must always be lowered to the ground before starting
tractor engine or engaging PTO lever.
Lower tedder to the ground. With the engine idling, slowly engage the PTO drive. Move
the throttle lever until the PTO speed indicated on the tedder is obtained. PTO speed
may vary from 400 rpm to 540 rpm. Never exceed 540 rpm.
Shift the transmission to a slow speed gear and start forward, increase the ground
speed by shifting upward until the desired speed is obtained.
