To allow the draft link to raise slightly as implement
follows ground contour, place head of float pin and the
rectangular washer on the inside end of the pin in a
vertical position (A).
To hold implement rigid, place head of float pin and the
rectangular washer in the horizontal position (B).
Use lift link pins in the float position for hitch-mounted
implements such as a cultivator or mower, which have
ground gauging skids or wheels which may cause the
implement to twist relative to the tractor.
Use the rigid position for implements such as plows and
ground engaging implements that should not twist relative
to the tractor.
