Overview

Heavy-duty 3-point hitch provides lift capacity and adjustability for implement versatility with Category 2 implements or adaptable to Category 1. Precisely raise and lower heavy implements such as planters, sprayers, and field cultivators, using the rockshaft control lever. The operator can also adjust the speed at which an implement is lowered by adjusting the rockshaft rate of drop.

Benefits

• Convenience hooking up implements with telescoping draft links, adjustable sway bars, and interchangeable hitch balls with the choice of either mechanical or electrohydraulic controls. 
• Consistency when lowering hitch with depth stop on both mechanical and electrohydraulic hitch controls – each time the position control lever is pushed forward, it stops where the depth stop has been positioned. Useful when preparing a seedbed. 
• Compatible with implements needed to perform multiple jobs. Increased lift capacity is available with optional larger cylinders. See Specifications for lift capacity by model. 
• Convenience when leveling implements with right lift link being able to adjust without tools – lift links can be adjusted for lateral float to allow implements with gauge wheels or skids to follow the ground contour 

Additional details

Mechanical or electrohydraulic hitch control operation 

Raise and lower rear implements with precision with either the mechanical or electrohydraulic (EH) hitch control. The operator can also adjust the speed at which an implement is lowered by adjusting the rockshaft rate of drop. 
 

The mechanical hitch control is paired with the tractors equipped with a PowrReverser™ transmission while the EH hitch control is paired with units equipped with a PowrQuad™ PLUS or Powr8™ transmission. Both control types enable the operator to adjust the speed at which an implement can be lowered by adjusting the rockshaft rate of drop. In addition to this feature, the EH hitch control adds repeatable movements by enabling the operator to set both an upper and lower limit.

The adjustable depth stop (found on both control types) provides consistency when lowering the hitch. Each time the position control lever is pushed forward, it stops where the depth stop has been positioned. This feature is a value to anyone who desires a consistent, level ground, like when preparing a seedbed. 
 
The center link can be set in one of three positions to accurately set the implement position and draft sensing. The right lift link is adjustable without tools for added convenience when leveling implements. 

Optional larger cylinders:

Transmission	Cylinder diameter	Lift capacity at 610-mm (24-in) behind lift point
PowrReverser™ transmission models	Two 65-mm (2.56-in.) cylinders	See specifications for lift capacity.
PowrReverser models with optional high-capacity hitch	One 65-mm (2.56-in.) cylinder  One 75-mm (2.95-in.) cylinder
PowrQuad PLUS or Powr8 transmission models	Two 75-mm (2.95-in.) cylinders
PowrQuad PLUS or Powr8 models with optional high-capacity hitch	Two 80-mm (3.15-in.) cylinders

Rear fender hitch controls

Operators do not need to carry a tool to adjust the rear hitch. Operators can also raise and lower the 3-point hitch from outside of the tractor with the conveniently located rear fender hitch controls.

Rear quick hitch

An updated three-point quick hitch is offered on the 5M Tractors.

• This updated design is a break from the existing welded quick hitch as the frame is cast.
• The curved design eliminates the potential for contact with the rear fender and extensions.
• The quick hitch is available as a field kit option.

Sway bars

Adjustable sway bars and telescoping draft links can be easily adjusted to adapt to a wide variety of implements. The right lift link also adjusts without tools for added convenience when leveling implements.
