HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE TRAILER HITCHES (If Equipped)
Height Adjustable Trailer Hitches can be adjusted up or down to match the implement hitch height and to give
clearance for the top link or for PTO operation. These hitches are equipped with either an automatic or a
manual clevis. There are two types of automatic clevis and three types of manual clevis (depending upon
market requirements), all of which operate in a slightly different way.
Hitches with Automatic Clevis
When the implement towing eye contacts the release mechanism inside the hitch coupling, the hitch
automatically locks the implement towing eye in place.
Hitches with Manual Clevis
The operator must manually inset the hitch pin to secure the implement to the tractor.
NOTE: Make sure local regulations are followed when towing implements/trailers. Only use trailers with a
towing eye that matches the clevis pin diameter and does not have excessive clearance. See page 110 for
more information.
IMPORTANT: Maximum vertical load capacity is 2000 kg (4409 lb) depending upon the capacity of the rear
tyres fitted. Where applicable refer to your approval documentation.
IMPORTANT: Keep the hitch clean and protect all moving parts of the hitch from corrosion, (including the
inner slide rails), by cleaning and greasing at regular intervals. All moving parts should be checked for free
movement and correct operation. Refer to Lubrication/Maintenance Section, page 220 for further information.
