OPERATION
C-6 VENTRAC 3000 VPI
FRONT HITCH & PTO DRIVE
The two rail, EASY-TACH, front hitch (Figure 15)
creates a stable and secure mounting of attachments
to the VENTRAC 3000! Just align the two rails to
the two corresponding receiver arms on the
attachment. Lower the tractor hitch for the initial
contact with the attachment arm tabs. Lift the
machine hitch to an in-line relationship and complete
the engagement. The EASY-TACH spring loaded
LOCKS secure the attachments. Always confirm that
the lock action has been completed.
Note: Engagement of attachment can be assisted by
opening the spring loaded “locks” by moving the
EASY-TACH lever (Figure 16) to the left side of the
hitch. Moving the lever to the right can assist the
closing action of the locks when necessary.
PTO DRIVEN ATTACHMENTS
After the EASY-TACH lever has been “locked,”
with engine stopped, put the PTO belt on the lower
groove of the PTO idler pulley (Figure 16) and
engage the tension lever on the attachment (Figure
17).
