Hitching and unhitching the work vehicle to and from the tractor
WARNING
Hitching the work vehicle up to the tractor is one of
the riskiest moments as it could required the involve-
ment of several people at once, carrying out synchro-
nised manoeuvres between the tractor driver and the
operators on the ground, which - if badly organised
- could result in accidents.

tions in force, observing the maximum weight limit
on the rear axle and the gross vehicle weight (see
tractor user manual).
Check that the work vehicle coupling to the tractor at
the third point of the hitch is securely locked so that
it cannot work loose.
