OPERATION
THREE-POINT HITCH (4WD model)
Three-point hitch combines Tractor and implement into
one working unit. Implement position and raising are con-
trolled hydraulically. In addition, implement weight and
loads impose downward pressure at Tractor rear wheels
to increase traction.
Hitch Controls
FIG. 43: Control quadrant, to right of operator's seat, con-
trols the system to provide the following hitch control func-
tions:
Position Control - Maintains hitch position at constant
height in relation to the Tractor. As position control lever,
1, is moved rearward, hitch and implement are raised.
Moving lever forward will lower hitch to selected position.
Each lever setting provides a specific hitch and implement
position.
CAUTION: Use position control lever, 1,when
attaching or detaching implements.
FIG. 44: Lowering Rate Control - Knob, 1, controls "rate
of drop" of three point linkage and implement. Turn knob
clock wise to slow drop rate, counterclockwise to increase
drop rate. Turning knob fully clockwise will lock implement
in raised position.
CAUTION: When working on or around
mounted implements, always lower to ground
prior to work. If implement must be raised,
always block implement and lower links
securely.
THREE - POINT HITCH (2WD model)
The 2WD model is not equipped with the three-point hitch.
As position control lever, 1, is moved rearward, mower
deck linkage are raised by hydraulic cylinder. Moving
lever forward will lower linkage to selected position.
