OPERATION
8. Extend the tractor’s top 3-point link so that
when lifting the mower, the front of the deck
will raise 2 to 2½” before the tail wheel(s)
leaves the ground. This will allow the mower
to follow the contour of uneven terrain.
Note: Install optional check chains when there is a
problem with the hydraulic 3-Point lift maintaining a
set height or when a constant pre adjusted cut
height is required. See Check Chains in the
Assembly Section for this accessory.
6.2 Setting Mowing Height-Pull Type
1. Park the tractor and mower on level ground.
2. Using the tailwheel racket jack or hydraulic
cylinder, position the mower so the skid
shoes are 1” less off the ground than the
desired final cut height. For example, if a 3”
cut is desired, raise or lower the mower until
the skid shoes are 2” off the ground. If a
hydraulic cylinder is used, stroke control
spacers can be placed on the hydraulic shaft
to maintain a set cutting height each time the
mower is raised and lowered.
3. Adjust the mower leveling rod so that the
front of the mower is approximately 3/4” lower
that the rear.
4. If the mower is attached to a 3-point hitch
drawbar, adjust any tractor equipped lower
link check chains, guide blocks, or sway
blocks to prevent the hitch and mower from
swaying from side to side. Never raise the 3-
point lift with the mower attached as
catastrophic driveline damage will occur.
