Parts Information

Hitch guide update

Demands made on hitches are getting higher - larger tractors, more power and faster driving speeds! If you think e.g. of road traffic with speeds up to 50 km/h, the material quality used is a critical factor. In addition proper implement operations are important to avoid additional stress and increased wear. Genuine hitches offer greatest reliability and are made from high-quality material complying with the requirements of John Deere specifications. For transport operations - especially with heavy trailers of different drawbar heights - a great variety of fixed, height adjustable, manually or automatically operated hitch versions is available. This hitch guide provides you with an overview of all offered genuine John Deere hitch solutions. For easy identification of the right solution for each implement situation, please consult the below summary of the static load capacity of high and low position hitches.

High position hitches Wagon hitches: Manual and automatic Wagon hitches are quite popular and used very often. Two different versions are available from John Deere: A two position wagon hitch with pin bearing (figure 1) and a height-adjustable wagon hitch version with lift bearing for 4 or 9 position rails (figure 2 and 3).

The current lift bearing wagon hitches - available from 6020 Series tractors - feature enhanced sliding characteristics because of the longer hitch pivot with two bearings, a more ergonomic adjustment as well as a closed and greased adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism keeps the dirt out. Additionally, a grease nipple is mounted. Both features ensure an easy adjustment over years - for maximum reliability.

Benefits of wagon hitches: • Large amount of applications - to meet different requirements • Fit to a large variety of implements • Easily adjustable • Common hitch solution

Who hasn’t had the problem? Changing the implement from trailer to three-point hitch in the field and not knowing where to put the upper trailer hitch. John Deere offers the solution - the hitch holder for the upper wagon hitch. The holder is a convenient solution that can easily be mounted within minutes onto all kinds of base and front weights with coupling recess. The wagon hitch can easily be affixed and is stored in a convenient height you can reach without stooping. The holder is adjusted with two fixing screws that again can be adjusted in two widths depending on the weight the holder has been mounted onto.

Height-adjustable ball-type and piton fix hitches

The height-adjustable hitches are available as ball type and piton fix and can be used in 4 or 9 position rails. These height-adjustable hitches are perfect for trailer operation and many other implement applications. When used in low position these hitches provide optimal traction and driving dynamics of tractor trailer combinations. In addition, ball-type hitches can be combined with a forced steering system which is available for one side or both sides.

TIP!

Low position hitches Low position hitches gained more importance within the past years. Optimizing the weight distribution between the rear and front axle, these hitches have a positive impact on the tractor performance. The advantage - the enhanced front axle load improves traction and eases drive-off.

3-in-1 wagon hitch

This John Deere wagon hitch system offers a flexible use of different hitch types allowing low and high position trailer coupling. Two different low position options are available: Piton fix and ball type wagon. In combination with the five position rail, fast and simple changes of the ball type wagon or piton fix is possible without the need of tools. The three in one rail has a fold-away PTO cover which can easily be folded up and down - for convenient PTO access.

In addition, the ball-type insert can be combined with a forced steering system which is available for one side or both sides.

To match all trailer and implement applications on a farm with one rail, it is also possible to combine a ball-type or piton fix wagon hitch with the regular height-adjustable wagon hitch.

Furthermore a standard swinging drawbar can be mounted if the piton fix / ball-type module is removed.

Easy storage of the ball type or piton fix slider in the rail by the use of a drawbar! (see photo)

Benefits of 3-in-1 wagon hitch: • Simple change of sliders without tools • Fold-away PTO cover - for convenient PTO access • Compatible with regular height-adjustable wagon

hitch or standard drawbar • Less wear of ball-type hitch due to high contact

surface between ball and drawbar eye • Ball-type hitch provides high riding comfort as a result of play-free coupling • Larger implements with up to 4 t static vertical load can be pulled with the ball-type hitch• Implements with up to 3 t static vertical load can be pulled with piton fix • Permits simultaneous use of wagon hitch and piton fix or ball-type hitch

TIP!

Pick-up hitch The John Deere pick-up hitch makes one-man hitching possible with excellent visibility. The hitch can be hydraulically adjusted in length and height for coupling trailers or trailed implements, even under difficult working conditions like uneven ground or very low placed trailers.

Benefits of pick-up hitches:

• Allows one-man hitching as it can be hydraulically adjusted • Compatible with implements with up to 3 t static vertical load • Enhanced load balancing due to low position of pick-up hitch • Pick-up hitch can be removed if a drawbar needs to be used instead • Adjustable in length and height

Drawbar Swinging drawbars are used to pull drawn equipment of all types, particularly PTO-driven implements. The location of the drawbar hitch point results in an increased load of the rear and a slightly reduced load on the front axle. In addition, the drawbar features a variable swinging range as well as a lengthwise adjustment.

Drawbars can be combined easily with a wagon hitch or a pick-up hitch and offer more flexibility with different implements. When a pick-up hitch needs to be used, the drawbar can easily be stored in a bracket located on the frame.

Benefits of John Deere drawbars: • Permits simultaneous use of drawbar and wagon hitch • Tight turning radius when drawbar is used • Easy combination of drawbar and pick-up hitch • When drawbar is not in use a separate bracket for storage located on the frame is

available

Maintain your hitch regularly!

Heavy duty working conditions, enhanced tractor performance and increased driving speeds put increased stress on hitches. Therefore, it is very important to maintain the hitches on a regular basis to prevent wear!

Every 250 hours:

Lubricate jaw of wagon hitch (picture 1). To make sure that hitch is thoroughly greased, turn jaw 180° when greasing.

Pick-up hitch: Lubricate and check torques of attaching bolts of the pick-up hitch (picture 2: see A and B).

Picture 1

Picture 2

Every 500 hours:

Check wear of drawbar, piton fix, ball-type hitch and trailer hitch

Check gap dimension between the turnable and the rigid part of the wagon hitch - it should be not more than 3 mm (valid for manual and automatic wagon hitch)
