Hitching
DANGER
!

the tractor and drill. Do not stand or place any part of your
body between machines being hitched. Stop tractor engine and
set park brake before installing hitch pins.
!
WARNING
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.
Choose a drill-hitch option that is compatible with your
tractor drawbar.
Refer to Figure 16
The 2S-2600HD has three hitch options:
• a clevis hitch,
• a small-hole, single-strap hitch or;
• a large-hole, single-strap hitch.
Use the clevis hitch with tractors that have single-tang
drawbars. Use the single-strap hitch for tractors with cle-
vis drawbars. Always use a locking-style hitch pin sized to
match the holes in the hitch and drawbar.
