When Rolling Up the Landing Gear after Coupling

Coupling

Coupling is a process through which a tractor and other farm equipment are coupled (joined) together through the use of a pickup hitch and a tongue, while using them to work.

Basically, a coupling assembly connects (joins or couples) a towed equipment such as a trailer having a tongue to a tractor that has a pickup hitch.

Some of the precautions which must be taken before, during, and after coupling a tractor to a towed equipment:

  • You should check your path for any hazard before you begin coupling.
  • You should check the normal air pressure for the braking system of the towed equipment.
  • You should use a low gear when rolling up the landing gear after coupling the two equipment. This is to ensure that the rate at which the landing gear is moving isn't too fast considering the weight of the trailer.
When rolling up the landing gear after coupling, you should use _____ gear until the tractor is supporting the weight of the trailer. You should use a low gear.
