Connecting RiataRake to Tractor
The RiataRake is compatible with tractors equipped

that use side-swing type lower lift arms. The
RiataRake will also fit tractors equipped with a
Category 1 and 2 Quick Hitch ( or I Match) system.

and re-install the lynch pins.
3. Attach the tractor’s top link to the RiataRake’s
mast using a heavy-duty top link pin and lynch pin
supplied with your top link.

RiataRake through the upper, outer set of holes.
2. Slide upper sleeve over the heavy-duty top link
pin supplied with top link. Reinstall retaining pin.
Adjusting Top Link
Adjust the three point top link so that the tine bar is
level front to rear. This will also be enabled by the
mast being in a level vertical position. In most
cases this will give the desired results. To adjust
the ripper depth or angle of address, shorten the
three point top link. Lengthen the top link to
decrease the ripper depth. Be sure to re level the
tine bar/Mast before using tines after ripping.
NOTE: When attaching RiataRake to any hitch
other than a standard Category 1 hitch, bushings
and sleeves must be purchased separately.
