HITCHING TO THE TRACTOR
1. Attach mixer/feeder to the tractor drawbar using an adequate sized hitch pin with a locking
retainer pin so hitch pin cannot bounce out.
2. Raise jack and lock in horizontal position.
3. Depress the spring loaded bushing on the PTO yoke and slide it on the tractor PTO shaft.
Be sure the lock ring snaps back into the groove of the PTO shaft.
PTO SLIP SLEEVE MUST BE KEPT LUBRICATED SO PTO SHAFTS WILL TELESCOPE FREELY
UNDER LOAD.
CAUTION – ALWAYS TRANSPORT A LOADED MIXER/FEEDER AT SLOW SPEED
(10mph OR LESS) AND BE EXTRA CAREFUL IN HILLY COUNTRY.
SAFETY CHAIN
Whenever towing the mixer/feeder and especially on a public road, observe these instructions:
1. Mount chain on hitch channel by running chain through loop and running hook through the
large ring at end of chain and pull tight as shown in Figure A.
2. Run the chain through an intermediate support bolted on the tractor drawbar, then wrap the
chain around a supporting member of the tractor and hook as shown in Figure B. Safety chain
shall have no more slack, when in use, than necessary to permit proper turning.
CAUTION – NEVER TRANSPORT THE MIXER/FEEDER UNTIL THE
HITCH PIN IS SECURED IN POSITION AND THE SAFETY CHAIN IS
PROPERLY INSTALLED.
