Tractor Requirements
Tractor horse power rating should be between 35 & 80
PTO horsepower. Tractors outside this horsepower
range must not be used.
The rear power take-off (PTO) speed must be capable
540 RPM and have a 1 3/8”-6 spline.
A 3-Point Category I or ll hitch is required. The lower
3-Point arms must be stabilized to prevent side-to-side
movement. Most tractors have sway blocks or adjustable
chains for this purpose.
