Replace entire chain if any link or endfitting is broken, stretched or otherwise deformed.If replacing, use a chain with the strength ratinggreater than the combined gross weight of theSidearm and any attached equipment (ie. rotarycutter).Top pin setting:- lowers hitch height- reduces drive angleReduced driveangle, lowerswear.Important:• Check the operating angle of your driveline fromthe tractor PTO to the front Sidearm gearbox. Thegreater the angle, the quicker the driveline wearsat the cross joint connections. You may even hearnoise from these connections. Due to the variancein drawbar to PTO heights from many tractormanufacturers, it is difficult to set a standardconfiguration for hitch heights. The typical rule ofthumb is the lower the hitch setting the easier it ison the driveline (less angle). However, in severeditch angles, you may need to raise this hitchheight. |
