For any further assistance or explanation on the use and maintenance of your machine, please contact your

Rear Mounting
Once the Terrablade is attached and at the correct working depth, the top link should be set at an angle
in which the convergence point between the upper and lower link arms should fall at the front axle.This
can be achieved by altering the top link pin attachment points on the tractor and Terrablade.This ensures
stability and the mass of the implement is used correctly.
