Stability
To
determine the degree of slope you can traverse with the
multi-purpose tool installed on a traction unit, find the
stability rating for the hill position you want to travel in
the appropriate table below, then find the degree of slope
for the same rating and hill position in the Stability Data
section of the traction unit operator’s manual.

attempt to move a trailer on any slope. Because of
this, there are no stability ratings for the hitch. Always

With
the scarifier teeth installed, the multi-purpose tool
can be used to loosen hard packed ground. Lower the
teeth to the ground by lowering the attachment arms and
tilting the attachment plate forward. Move the traction
unit slowly backward while lowering the teeth into the
ground. Several shallow passes may be necessary to
thoroughly break up the ground.
The teeth can also be used to hook and tear out bushes and
roots. It is also useful for raking up debris and brush.

With
the boom jib installed, the multi-purpose tool can be
used to lift and transport various items, such as balled
trees. Secure the item being lifted as close as possible to
the boom jib frame using the provided lifting chain.
Always use the lifting chain provided to secure items to
the boom jib.
Never lift more than the rated lift capacity of the traction
unit. When transporting a load, keep it as close to the
ground as possible.
The counterweight attachment is required when using the
boom jib.
