Prepare Tractor and Attach Manure Spreader

Tractors getting the job done! Fertilizer The Mainstream Said Wouldn't Work!
What happens here
Before loading and spreading, prepare the tractor and manure spreader. Start the TYM T574 tractor. Detach any currently attached implements, like the Woods Batwing mower, by removing the hitch pin and disconnecting any hydraulic lines. Then, position the ABI Classic Spreader (manure spreader) behind the tractor. Connect the PTO shaft to the tractor's power take-off. Attach the hitch pin to secure the spreader, then secure the safety chains. Finally, connect the two hydraulic lines from the spreader to the tractor's hydraulic ports. These hydraulics control the spreader's rear gate and the internal chain system.
Goal: Properly connect the manure spreader to the tractor for operation.
