Operation 

Cat. A drawbar

The tractor may be equipped with an A-type tow hook that
consists of a drawbar, for use with agricultural implements
and one or two-axle trailers. Never use this type of attach-
ment to tow single axle trailers, because they can apply
too much weight to the drawbar. The drawbar might be
damaged because it is not built to sustain vertical loads.

The drawbar can be adjusted to allow correct coupling,
besides to towed implements, to implements driven by
PTO.

It is possible to change the pivoting point of the sector
on the tractor support.

For those implements that need it (e.g. ploughs), the
sector of the tow frame allows for a widespread hori-
zontal adjustment to provide greater lateral swing in
either direction.

Two locking pins can also be used to limit or reduce
drawbar swing in either direction.

WARNING: When towing implements driven 
by the PTO, adjust the height of the drawbar 
so that it lies between 150 (5.9”) and 300 
mm (11.8”) below the height of the PTO 
shaft.

OPERATION 1

Electronic Power Lift System

Turn the Upper Limit Control Knob (4) to the maximum
setting.

-  Raise the three-point linkage by turning the switch (1)

to Pos. C.

-  Set the selector (3) to position control mode (Pos. 1)

by turning it in an anti-clockwise direction.

-  Set the down-speed selector (6) to position (0) (lock)

to prevent any accidental lowering movement should
the controls be accidentally operated.

WARNING:  If the control switch (1) is 
moved to the links down position (A) and 
the work height control knob (2) is moved, 
the arms can be lowered. Set the lowering

vent any accidental movement.

Maximum  permitted  operating 
weights

WARNING: comply with the max. load capacity 
of the automatic hitch and of the drawbar. Do 
not  work  with  loads  greater  than  the  maxi-
mum  allowed  ones.  This  could  damage  the 
automatic hitch and the rod. It also reduces 
stability of the front part. 
Maximum loads on axles also depend upon the 
capacity of the rear tyres fitted. For maximum 
allowed  loads,  see  the  “Technical  specifica-
tions” Section. 
Ask your Dealer for further information.

WARNING: The automatic Pick-Up Hitch 
and pulling trailers on public roads is not 
permitted unless a special approval note has 
been supplied with the machine documents. 
Ask your Dealer for further information.

WARNING: Pick-Up Hitch hook (PUH) - The 
coupling and uncoupling of the PUH must 
be made strictly with the lifting device in 
a controlled position to ensure the proper 
functioning of the fastening/release of the 
hook.
