Hitching Tractor to Drill
Crushing Hazard:
Do not stand or place any part of your body between planter
and moving tractor. You may be severely injured or killed by
being crushed between the tractor and planter. Stop tractor
engine and set park brake before installing the hitch pin.
Transport Hazard:
This drill can have positive and negative tongue weight, which
can work the hitch pin loose during transport. To avoid serious
injury or death due to a road accident, always use a clevis
hitch or clevis drawbar with a locking-style hitch pin.
1. Choose a drill-hitch option that is compatible with
your tractor drawbar.
The 3S-5000/F/HD/HDF has three hitch options:
Use the clevis hitch with tractors that have
single-tang draw bars. Use the single-strap hitch for
tractors with clevis draw bars. Always use a
locking-style hitch pin sized to match the holes in the
hitch and drawbar.
• a clevis hitch,
• a small-hole, single-strap hitch or
• a large-hole, single-strap hitch.
