ADC2350/E “Pull Between” Hitching
Hitching ADC2350/E to Tractor
To ensure consistent planting at the drill, the main frame
of the ADC2350/E air cart needs to be level. Set the
tongue height before hitching for the first time.
Refer to Figure 11
1.
Using the crank on the jack stand , adjust the
height of the tongue to:
31 inches (78.7 cm).
The cart frame is level at this height.
2. Back the tractor up to the cart, and confirm that
when hitched, the cart tongue will remain at this
height. If not, adjust either the height of the tractor
hitch, or the location of the hitch strap
.
To adjust the height of the hitch strap , remove the
bolts , and reset the strap up or down.
If the strap needs to be moved so far that only one
bolt would be holding it, the strap may be inverted.
Strap inversion requires removing the bolt that
retains the spring hose loop
, and re-mounting it.
3. Use the jack stand crank to raise the hitch strap
slightly. Back the tractor so that its drawbar is aligned
with the strap hole.
4. Shut off the tractor and set the parking brake.
5. Insert and secure the hitch pin.
6. Attach the safety chain to an anchor on the
tractor.
7. Operate the jack stand crank to retract the inner leg
and base several inches. Secure the crank handle in
the spring clip on the stand.
8. Remove the pin at the stand swivel. Remove the
stand and re-pin it on the storage stob (not visible
in figure) inside the hitch beam.
