Now I am curious about the hitch even though
I don't need one. Can anyone
scan a picture of it and how it is
attached?
Bill
told me how to use it (below) and that there are 3 versions of even
this!
The
roller is for fold-back of the lift strap with heavy implements, like the
disc. The hitch bolts and floats on the back 2 bolts (left side lin
picture), with the implement riding on narrower end. For implements
requiring close left-right positioning, and floating draft-angle, such as
the plow, the implement attaches to the two bolts just inside of the narrow
end (and the long pin?) while with a implement like my cultivator, it attaches
to the bolts only and the pin. Again, the pin and roller with fold-back of
the lift strap are from the electric (or Manuel) lift to pick up the
implement. The normal drawbar does indeed get involved for
attachment. Most of this is by talking to Bill; I have yet to see a manual
showing proper attachment.
