Preparing the tractor

For optimum work results, prepare the tractor for plough operation.

  1. Select a tractor on which the track width 1 at the front and rear differs by no more than 10cm.
  2. Select a tractor on which the lateral play of the lower links 2 can be adjusted by at least 8cm.
  3. Select a tractor on which the lower links run apart in a V-shape when the plough is mounted.
  4. Set the maximum lifting height of the rear hydraulic system on the tractor.
  5. Install the top link on the tractor as high 3 as possible.
  6. Due to the risk of collision, remove the clevis coupling.
  7. Set the lifting struts 4 so that they are as short as possible.
  8. Adjust the lifting struts to the same length.
  9. Set the lifting struts as far as possible to the rear on the tractor lower links.
  10. Use adequately-dimensioned front weight.
  11. Adjust the tyre inflation pressure of the front wheels equally on both sides.
  12. Adjust the tyre inflation pressure of the rear wheels equally on both sides.
NOTE

The required tyre load capacity must be ensured.

  1. Switch off the front axle suspension if possible.
