Practical depth is solid. Most useful for owners about to tackle this install for the first time.
Posted by the Messick's Farm Equipment dealer channel, so the walkthrough reflects a sales and service perspective.
The hoses are color-coded, so you match green to green and yellow to yellow, looping each one around the black retaining bracket on the subframe before plugging it in.
It is a simple drain line that returns fluid to the tractor's tank when you float or drop an attachment down to the ground.
Reattach it before raising the subframe back up, while it is still lowered, since that gives more room to work and reach the shaft.
You raise the hitch hydraulically to lift the front tires off the ground, which forces the two large front pins into alignment so they slide in.
