TOOLBOX TIPS

Linkage Parts:
Your operation depends on keeping your 3-point linkage system up and running. To help you do so, here are a few basic maintenance reminders:

  • it's impossible to underestimate the importance of lubrication. Grease rear end linkage fittings on a regular basis - approximately once every 25 hours of operation
  • whenever you hook up equipment to the drawbar, make sure that the PTO driveline is as straight as possible. This will prevent excess wear.
  • For safety reasons, be sure the draft/position selector lever is in position control when you hook up implements.
