LEVELLING BOX

the
rod.
IMPLEMENT ATTACHMENT
When connecting linkage mounted implements attach the left-hand lower link
first, then the right-hand link (which can be raised or lowered using
the
levelling box), and finally the top link. This operation
is
much
easier if the tractor
is correctly aligned with the implement.
