    PRE-WORK PREPARATION Connecting the Drill to the Tractor The Claydon Drill can be mounted onto any CATIIIN or CATIVN compatible three point linkage with the linkage pins supplied and CATIII balls (not supplied). Once the drill 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 (Figure 5).

    The fan free flow return cannot be connected to the tractor ISO. Incase of difficulty knowing the correct connections available on the rear of your tractor consult your tractor operators manual or Claydon dealer immediately for assistance.
