MCCORMICK MTX Series - Operating in Load Control

Operation
140
OPERATING IN LOAD CONTROL
The electronic hitch system will automatically
adjust the hitch position to maintain a constant
implement load on the tractor as the implement
travels through varying soil conditions and
terrain. If an implement travels through heavy soil
the increased load is sensed at the lower link and
the hitch will raise the implement in small
increments to maintain a constant load on the
tractor. As the implement travels through lighter
soil conditions the lower link will sense the load
decrease and lower the implement in small
increments while maintaining a constant load on
the tractor.
IMPORTANT: The tractor must be moving at a
speed of more than 0.8 km/h (0.5 mph) for the load
controls to function. Adjusting the LOAD
CONTROL knob to the lighter load settings of
1 to 5 while the tractor is stationary, may
result in significant hitch movement when the
tractor moves again.
NOTE: If the implement has gauge wheels,
move the Hitch Position Control Knob fully
counterclockwise before carrying out the
following procedure.
STEP 1
MD05M026
Turn the LOAD CONTROL Knob (2)
counterclockwise to decrease the load setting
until the hitch begins to raise.
NOTE: The load control is OFF at the (0)
position and the hitch will operate in the
position control mode.
STEP 2
Move the hitch POSITON CONTROL knob (1)
fully counterclockwise.
NOTE: In fields with intermittent hard and soft
soil conditions, a “Bottom” depth may be set by
moving the Hitch Position Control knob to the
desired maximum implement operating depth.
STEP 3
DP96N112
Turn the TRAVEL CONTROL knob (3)
counterclockwise to reduce and clockwise to
increase the changes in working depth with
changing loads.
NOTE: A typical operation for a fully mounted
implement is a setting of “7” to “10” and a
setting of “3” to “5” for a semi-mounted
implement.
