DRAWBAR
The drawbar can be set in various positions, see following pages for preparation and operation.
Fore/Aft Position
MH04C097
Remove the pivot pin retainer bolt (1) and the
pivot pin (2) at the front of the drawbar.
Slide the drawbar backward or forward to the
required drawbar position as indicated on the
implement or in the implement operators manual.
When the correct position of the drawbar has been
set, install the pivot pin (2) and the retainer bolt (1).
Left/Right Offset Position
DP98K026
Remove the retaining pin (3) and slide the drawbar
left or right as required. Install the retaining pin.
When using the offset positions raise the lower
links to full height. With the lower links in this
position the hitch will not interfere with the side
movement of the swinging drawbar.
NOTE: The drawbar must not be offset in the
fully forward position.
IMPORTANT: The drawbar must be locked in the
centre position when doing any of the following
operations:
A. Towing implements at transport speed (15
km/h (10 mph) or more) in the field.
B. Towing an implement or trailer on the
highway at all speeds.
C. Operating a drawbar pulled, PTO driven
implement.
D.Moving the tractor in reverse with an
implement attached.
WARNING: Rear upset can result if pulling from wrong location on tractor.
Hitch only to the drawbar. Use 3 point hitch only with the implements
designed for its use, not as a drawbar.
WARNING: Try to balance the load primarily on the implement wheels as
in loading a machine with harvest crops. Avoid overloading the drawbar.
Add front end weights for improved stability. Engage the clutch smoothly,
avoid jerking and use the brakes cautiously to avoid jack- knifing.
In certain markets pulling trailers on public roads is not permitted unless
a special approval note has been supplied with the machine documents.
Always make sure you have the relevant approval before pulling trailers
on public roads.
