Hitching Tractor to Sub-Soiler

Crushing Hazard:

Do not stand or place any part of your body between sub-

soiler and moving tractor. You may be severely injured or

killed by being crushed between the tractor and sub-soiler.

Stop tractor engine and set parking brake before attaching

cables and hoses.

High Pressure Fluid Hazard:

Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use a

piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for

leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles

when working with hydraulic systems. Escaping ﬂuid under

pressure can have sufﬁcient pressure to penetrate the skin caus-

ing serious injury. If an accident occurs, seek immediate medi-

cal assistance from a physician familiar with this type of injury.

Hitching with 3-Point

1. The sub-soiler is designed to use either Category II

or III tractors. This implement is factory set for Cate-

gory III tractors. To change to Category II, you will

need a Category II Ripper hitch pin kit P/N 596-060A.

See your Great Plains dealer to order kit.

2. In addition, the following bushings (not supplied by

Great Plains) may be needed to ﬁt your quick hitch or

tractor’s 3-point arms:

• Upper Link 1” IDx1 1/4” OD

• Lower Links 1 1/8”IDx1 7/16” OD

3. Be sure that all tractor 3-point arms are securely

pinned before lifting the implement. Adjust the top 3-

point link so that the frame is at desired tip depth,

parallel with the ground.

4. Set the tractor 3-point draft control in the ﬂoat posi-

tion.

5. Raise the tractor 3-point arms as needed and pin

lower arms to implement.
