Nine-standard drawn hitch

A drawn hitch option is available for those who want to use large row-crop tractors or four-wheel drive (4WD) tractors without a 3-point hitch.

The drawn hitch is only compatible with seven-standard and nine-standard 762-mm (30-in.) models. The drawn hitch is also available as an attachment for field conversion.

The transport wheels are placed in front of the front rank of the mainframe. This allows residue to flow freely and keeps the wheels close to the standards to allow the ripper to follow the ground contour.

The wheel modules are mounted to the front, rear, and end frame of the ripper, making it the most stable wheel package in the in-line ripper market. The tires are placed directly in front of the ripper standards so the shanks can remove the tire track to leave as level a profile as possible.

There is no need for stabilizer wheels with the drawn hitch. The wheels are located within 762 mm (30 in.) of the outside edge of the machine to provide stability in both field and transport conditions.

The nine-standard model has eight-bolt hubs and spindles with beefy 12.5L-15 tires. The seven-standard model uses 11L-15 tires. The large tires provide excellent field flotation and transport stability.

A pressure-compensating flow divider is the heart of the depth control system. Temporary adjustments can be made while maintaining the ability to raise and lower evenly.

The machine does not need to be fully raised at the end of a pass to keep the cylinders in phase, and cylinder stops are used to set the overall operating depth.

NOTE: The drawn hitch attachment is only compatible with serial number 1300 or newer machines.
