Tractors equipped with a standard quick-attaching coupler for the threegoint W i n k hitch require an auxiliary attaching pin on the implement mast located 76 mm (3.0 in.) for categories I and 111, and 102 mm (4.0 in.) for Category II, below the standard upper hitch point. To facilitate attachment and detachment of the implement a clearance zone must be maintained 76 mm (3.0 in.) rearward from and extending 104 mm (4.10 in.) above and 216 mm (8.50 in.) below this pin. In addiion, a dearance zone must be maintained 94 mm (3.70 in.) rearward from and extending 25 mm (1.0 in.) above and 211 mm (8.30 in.) below each lower hitdi point To facilitate c a r attachment and detachment of the implement with tractors equipped with a standard Category IV-N or IV quick-attaching coupler for the threepoint W i n k hitch, a clearance zone must be maintained 85 mm (3.35 in.) reatwad from and extending 120 mm (4.75 in.) above and 252 mm (9.92 in.) below the siandard upper htch point on the implement masi. In addition, a clearance zone must be maintained 94 mm (3.7 in.) reaward from and extending 32 mm (1.26 in.) above and 272 mm (10.71 in.) below each lower hitch point %e mast height is not necessarily a mechanical dimension on the implement itself. It is a figure used in design and if properly used for design of both implement and tractor, a well performing interchangeable implement and tractor combination wul be achieved. This standard makes it possible to produce tractors and implements that will give good perfomnce in any combination; therefore, consideration to hitch geometry is essential. This makes it desirable to establish a standard m a s t height and a standard mast adjustment within a working range, because these items influence the position of hitch points that are common to both the implement and the tractor. Mast height is one of the essential factors in establishing the viftual hitch point of the free-link system, draft signal for the draft-responsive system, loads on the linkage and hitch points, changes in implement pitch corresponding to changes in working depth, implement pitch when the implement is in transport position, clearance of the implement with the tractor, especially in transport position and clearance of the hitch links with the implement or with the tractor, especially in the tmnspoti piüOn. When an implement mast height is made different than standard to accomplish some specific performance feature, care should be exercised to inswe that the desired performance is secured with tractors likely to operate the implement. 'Some Category II tractors are designed to accommodate a 559 mm (22 in.) mast height for optimum performance. In the design of implements for use on these tractors care should be taken to investigate the need for providing a 559 mm (22 in.) mast height. Tractors that are designed only for use with 559 mm (22 in.) mast height must be properly identified. “See Section 3 for Categoiy IV-N or Ill-N, Nanow Hitch, dimensions. 82 ASAE STANDARDS 2000 Copyright American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers Provided by IHS under license with ASABE Licensee=IHS Employees/1111111001, User=listmgr, listmgr Not for Resale, 06/05/2007 02:52:09 MDTNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS -,-,- * STD-ASAE S217.11-ENGL 1997 = 0759530 0007280 900 the point of attachment of the linkage; it also pennits the impiement designer to detennine the range of operating depths of the implement over which pitch adjustment can be obtained. 216 Levellng adjustment: The adjustment of the lower links so that 1 lower hitch point may be moved veröcaiiy with respect to the other lower hitch point to provide an indination of t h e impiement 2 . 1 7 Lowcu hltchpolnt spreiid; The dis$nce between lower hitch points measured at the base of the lower hitch stud, or the distance between the inner most restraining means povided on the implement 2 . 1 8 Linchpin hole didence: The distance between the lindipin hole centerline and the lower link stud base. 2.19 Liit linkage: The connecting linkage that transmits force to the lower links for raising and lowering. 2Jû Lift range: The range of movement oí the lower hitch points utilizing the extent of manual adjustment pravided in the lift linkage in conjunction with the power range, expressed as the maximum and minimum possible heights of the lower hitch points above ground level, the lower hitch point axis being maintained horizontal to the ground. 221 Power range: The total veitical movement of the iower h M point axduding any adjustment in the linkage or lift linkage. 222 Lorn# hitch-pdnt tire ckaran: Clearance expmsed as a radial dimension from the lower hitch point tothe outside diameter of the t i r e with the implement in raised position and a H side sway removed from the links. 223 Lower hitch-polnt tractor ckarance: The horizontal dimension between the rearmost parts of the tractor in the area between the 2 drafî links and the horizontai line through the 2 lower hitch points throughout Ihe range of vertical movement of the hitch points (see Fig. 4).
