3.1 Tyres
Ensure that all tyres- especially the rear ones - are at identical pressure.
3.2 Lift rods
Adjust lift rods to equal length. Where there are alternative positions for the lift
rods on the lower links, use the rearmost position, in order to unload the tractor
hydraulics.
3.3 Check chains or sway blocks
It is essential that the check chains or sway blocks are adjusted so that the lower
links are free to move sideways when in working position.
3.4 Tractor hydraulics
During work the tractor hydraulics must be set to "floating position" or to "mixed
control".
3.5 Axle load
The attachment of implements to the front- and rear-three point
linkage must not lead to exceeding the allowed total weight, the
allowed axle load and the allowed tyre load of the tractor.
