NOTE: The plough shown in the figure is purely indi-
cative since the dimensions are valid for any type of
implement.
Three point linkage
Thethreepointlinkageisusedtoconnectthetractorto
implementscontrolledbythehydrauliclift.
Thethree-pointlinkageissuitableforconnectionto
implementsof2ndclassasshownbythediagramand
datagiveninthefigure.
WARNING: Always take great care when
using or adjusting the three point linkage.
Hitching the implement
Toallowthelifttooperateinthecorrectway,youmust
carefullycheckthedimensionsoftheimplementstobe
coupledtothetractor.
Thesecouplingsmustbethesamestandardsizeasthe
threepointlinkageofthetractortopreventthewhole
assemblyfrombeingsubjectedtoirregularstressdu-
ringwork,causedbydimensionalincompatibility.See
dimensionsgiveninthefigure.
Weight of the implement
Topreventtheregularoperationoftheliftingsystem
frombeingimpaired,theweightoftheimplements
mustbelessthanthemaximumloadtheliftcanraise.
Thisvalue(giveninthespecifications)isonlyindicative,
sincethedistanceatwhichthecenterofgravityofthe
implementissetinrelationtothethreepointlinkage
canalsoexerciseanotableinfluence.
Ifanimplement,evenwhenlighterthantheindicated
weight,issetatanexcessivedistancefromthetractor,
itwillbeardownonthethreepointlinkagewithamuch
greaterweightthantheweightoftheimplementitself.
Three point linkage components
Thearticulateddevicewiththreepointsuspension
mainlyconsistsofthefollowingcomponents:
1- Adjustabletoplinkwithlengthadjustersleeve
2- Adjustablerhliftrod.
3- Rhrodadjustablefork
4- Lateralstabilizers(2pcs).
5- Lowerlinks.
6- Hitchcouplings.
7- Lhrodadjustablefork.
8- Lhliftrod.
Mechanicallyadjustedthreepointlinkage(Class2).
