2.5 Front End Weight
A minimum of 20% total tractor weight must be maintained on the tractor front end at all times. Front end
weight is critical to maintain steering control and to prevent the tractor from rearing up while driving. If the
front end is too light, add weight until a minimum of 20% total weight is reached on the front tires. Front
weights and weight carriers can be purchased through an authorized tractor dealership. OPS-U- 0005
2.6 Drawbar-Pull Type Mower
For equipment operating at 540 RPM, the tractor
drawbar must be positioned at a 14” distance from the
hitch point to the PTO shaft end for proper operation
and minimal wear to the driveline.
If attaching the mower tongue clevis to a 3-point hitch drawbar supported by the lower lift arms, the attaching
point must be extended past the main bar to allow for turning without binding the clevis and bar. Lift arm
stabilizers must be used with this type of drawbar to prevent the mower from swaying from side to side.
