I just want to be sure I'm hooking up my RFM to the 3 point hitch properly. Neither the tractor nor mowers operators manual clearly specifies the sequence or how to properly set things up.
First off, I lowered the 3PH, backed off the turn buckles to open up the spread adjustment and hooked up the left arm (non adjustable lift rod) to the mower. Then I adjusted the lift rod on the right side to line up the right arm and connect it to the mower. Then snugged up the turn buckles for minimal lateral sway and finally hooked up and adjusted the top link.
Is this correct. Does it matter which arm gets hooked up first?
Thanks,
Dave
