6.1 Connecting the Mower 3-Point Hitch to the Tractor
1. Make sure the tractor is equipped with the
correct PTO shaft. Change shafts if needed.
2. Shorten or remove the tractor drawbar to
avoid interference when raising and
lowering the mower.
3. Board the tractor and start the engine.
Position the tractor to the mower with the
3-point lift arms positioned between the
respective set of mower A-frame lift lugs.
Note: Set the 3-point lift control to “Position
Control” so that the lift arms maintain a
constant height when attaching the mower.
See the tractor Operator’s Manual for
correct settings when attaching 3-point
equipment.
4. Turn off the tractor engine and dismount.
5. One lift arm at a time, align arm end hole
between the set of lower rear hitchplates.
Insert hitch pin through the hitch plate holes
and insert retaining pin into hitch pin. Walk
around to opposite side and repeat
procedure for remaining lift arm and hitch
pin.
6. Extend or retract 3-point top link to align its
end hole with the holes of the mower’s upper
rear hitch. Insert the top link hitch pin and
insert retaining pin into hitch pin.
7. Adjust any lower link check chains, guide
blocks, or sway blocks to prevent the mower
from swaying side to side and possible
contact with tractor rear tires.
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the
parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement
and Tractor hitches.
