Lock the 3-Point Hitch
The 3-Point Hitch can be locked in the raised position. When
a rear attachment is locked in the raised position, the on-
board hydraulic cylinder can be used to lift mid mounted
attachments without having to remove the rear attachment.
For example, if a tractor equipped with a tiller is to be used for
mowing, the tiller can be locked in the raised position allowing
the mower to be installed and used.
1. Pull back on the attachment lift control lever to raise the
attachment.
2. Remove the locking rod from storage position(A,
Figure18). Install it below the hitch arms in the locking
position (B) with a retaining clip (C).
