Preparing the tractor
For optimum work results, prepare the tractor for plough operation.
- Select a tractor on which the track width 1 at the front and rear differs by no more than 10cm.
- Select a tractor on which the lateral play of the lower links 2 can be adjusted by at least 8cm.
- Select a tractor on which the lower links run apart in a V-shape when the plough is mounted.
- Set the maximum lifting height of the rear hydraulic system on the tractor.
- Install the top link on the tractor as high 3 as possible.
- Due to the risk of collision, remove the clevis coupling.
- Set the lifting struts 4 so that they are as short as possible.
- Adjust the lifting struts to the same length.
- Set the lifting struts as far as possible to the rear on the tractor lower links.
- Use adequately-dimensioned front weight.
- Adjust the tyre inflation pressure of the front wheels equally on both sides.
- Adjust the tyre inflation pressure of the rear wheels equally on both sides.
NOTE
The required tyre load capacity must be ensured.
- Switch off the front axle suspension if possible.
