OPERATION
5.1 Connecting the Mower-Lift Type and Semi-Mount Type
1. Make sure the tractor is equipped with the
correct PTO shaft. Change shafts if needed.
2. Shorten or remove the tractor drawbar to
avoid interference when raising and lowering
the mower.
3. Board the tractor and start the engine. Posi-
tion the tractor to the mower with the 3-point
lift arms positioned between the respective
set of mower A-frame lift lugs. Note: Set the
3-point lift control to “Position Control” so that
the lift arms maintain a constant height when
attaching the mower. See the tractor Opera-
tor’s Manual for correct settings when attach-
ing 3-point equipment.
4. Turn off the tractor engine, set the parking
brake, place the tractor in park, and dis-
mount.
5. One lift arm at a time, align arm end hole
between the set of holes of A-frame lift lugs.
Insert hitch pin through the lug and arm holes
and insert retaining pin into hitch pin. Walk
around to opposite side and repeat procedure
for remaining lift arm and hitch pin.
6. Lift Mowers-Extend or retract the 3-point top
link to align its end hole with the holes of the
mower’s top link. Insert the top link hitch pin
and insert retaining pin into hitch pin. Semi-
Mount Mowers-If hydraulic cylinders are
being used to raise and lower the mower or to
control an off set hitch, attach hose ends into the tractor hydraulic ports.
7. Adjust any lower link check chains, guide blocks, or sway blocks to prevent the mower from swaying side
to side and possible contact with tractor rear tires.
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the
parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement
and Tractor hitches.
