3. Back tractor up to planter. Position lower hitch pins and bushings as shown in the following diagrams for your type of
tractor hitch. Line up holes and insert hitch pins and lock in place with pins provided. It may be necessary to change
the length of the upper link with the adjusting handle.
The upper hitch point has two holes. The hitch pin must be positioned in the lower hole for use with tractors equipped
with Category 2 quick hitch. The lower hole is also recommended for use on tractors without a quick hitch. Some
Category 2 tractors without a quick hitch are designed to accommodate the upper attaching holes. Consult tractor
manufacturer.
The hitch pin must be positioned in the upper hole for use with tractors equipped with Category 3N and 3 hitches.
When using a quick hitch (customer-supplied), match pin location to pin spacing in the quick hitch. Adjust the tractor
upper link until the quick hitch is vertical when in the planting position.
Dual lift assist wheel equipped machines require use of
a quick hitch (customer-supplied) and the top link pin is
not used.
