INTRODUCTION
Your Mower is designed primarily for weed and grass control, shredding row crops such as cotton and corn
stalks, and cutting small brush up to 2" in diameter. With proper maintenance as described in this manual, your
Mower will provide you with years of dependable service with a minimum of repairs.
It is recommended that all operators of this implement read this manual or be instructed of its contents as to
safety, proper operation, and maintenance before beginning operation.
Your Mower has been assembled to operate with a tractor PTO input speed of either 540 or 1000 RPM,but not
both. This machine is designed for use with tractors rated 50 HP (37kW) to 130 HP (98kW).
When ordering parts for the Gearboxes and the Drivelines, be sure to specify the serial number. The serial
number is located outside of the right Tongue attaching Plate on the center Mainframe section.
Chain Guards are extra equipment. Deflectors, Driveline Integral Shields and Gearbox Shields are standard
equipment and are to be used at all times.
To place the warranty into effect, fill out the warranty card in full, giving all the requested information, and mail
promptly. Be sure to give the serial number of this Mower.
For Non-Agricultural use, OSHA, ASAE, SAE, and ANSI standards require the use of Chain
Guards, Deflectors, or Solid Skirts at all times. The Cutter manufacturer strongly
recommends the use of Chain Guards, Deflectors, or Solid Skirts for Agricultural purposes
as well to reduce the risk of property damage, serious bodily injury, or even death from
objects thrown out by or from contact with the Cutting Blades.
At least 20% of the tractor’s total weight must be on the front tires with the Cutter lifted to
provide adequate traction for safe steering under good conditions. Slow down on hills,
rough terrain, and curves.
Front and rear, and left and right are determined by the normal direction of travel (the same as on your
automobile).
