Hitching Disk Harrow to Tractor
Hitch to a tractor for highway transport or field
operations. Hitch to a leading implement only for field
operations. Do not transport behind another implemnet.
Before hitching, check the compatibility and capability of
the towing tractor or implement.
• The 7000 Series II Disk Harrow 7323 - 7336DH is a
pull-type implement equipped with a standard clevis
single tang hitch. It may be converted to a Category III,
IV or V hitch using optional accessory parts.
For hillsides and steep slopes, set tractor wheels as wide
as possible for maximum stability.
1. Raise tractor three-point arms (if equipped) clear up
to clear Disk Harrow.
2. For TWO-WHEEL DRIVE and MFWD tractors, pin
draw bar in fixed center position for field and
transport. Pin in center position for transport to
maintain maximum steering control.
