3pt hitch question

[Anonymous-0]

Question: I just bought a '50 8N. I'm not sure just how the 3pt hitch is supposed. Are you required to engage the pto in order to raise the hitch? New models I've driven did not require the pto to be engaged first.

PTO has to be engaged. Its the lever at your left heel. Push it to the rear to engage..

pto must be engaged for the three point to work I wold strongly recomed you get the cover for the pto shaft if your not using it I almost lost my arm due to a chain wraping around it. Allways try to think about safety.

I strongly reccomend you get and read an owners manual for that tractor. You are likely to discover other things like the little 3" handle under the seat, and will want to know what it does too.. etc.
