7.1 Headstock attachment position
Swivelling the headstock (2) allows the dis-
tance between the plough’s pivot point and
the tractor’s rear axle to be increased or

respectively. The distance must
be kept as small as possible to minimise
the side pull.

As far as possible, attach the headstock
with the cross shaft (3) towards the rear.
In exceptional cases, it may be necessary
to increase the available space between
the tractor and the implement, e.g. in the
case of
• double tyres,
• tractors with short lower links,
• tractors with permanently mounted trac-
tor drawbar
In these exceptional cases, increase the
distance between the plough’s pivot point
and the tractor’s rear axle:

Attach the headstock with the cross
shaft (3) towards the front.
