Leveling the Hitch

1.

When unfolding the Grain Drill the hitch is lowered to
its lowest point to allow the wing fold locks to unhook
and clear. Before starting to plant, the hitch should be
leveled to insure proper opener depth and full opener
travel.

2.

Make sure the hitch clevis is adjusted for the proper
tractor drawbar height (See Figure 4-3.)

3.

Use the diamond shaped hole at the front of the hitch
as a guide to level the hitch for planting operations
(See Figure 4-4.) The wear pad (inside the hitch
tube) will be visible from the tractor seat as it slides
by the reference hole. When the reference line on the
wear pad is centered in the diamond shaped hole,
the hitch should be level. Do not insert any objects in
the reference holes as the wear pad slides over
these holes and could damage the hitch.
