OPERATION
• Adjusting Cutting Height and Angle
Help prevent bodily injury or death
caused by entanglement in rotating driveline or
blades. Entanglement in rotating driveline or
being struck by blades can cause serious injury
or death. Before making any adjustments:
a. Lower machine until rear wheel just touches
or is slightly above ground.
b. Engage tractor parking brake and/or place
transmission in “PARK”.
c. Disengage PTO.
d. Shut off tractor engine and remove key.
e. Wait until all moving parts have stopped.
f. Disconnect PTO driveline from tractor.
1. Loosen bolt and lock nut (B), remove
bolt, washers and lock nut (A), raise
tailwheel to highest position and install bolt,
washer and lock nut (A).
2. Using rockshaft control lever, position front
of cutter at desired cutting height at location.
3. Adjust depth stop. (See your tractor Operator’s
Manual.)
4. Adjust center link so rear of cutter is approximately
2 inches (51 mm) higher than front.
NOTE:
The rotary cutter should be operated at the highest
position which will give optimal cutting results. This
will help prevent the blades from striking the ground,
reducing blade wear and undue strain on the cutter.
For best results under heavier cutting conditions,
always tilt the rotary cutter approximately 2 inches
(51mm) lower in the front. This tilt decreases
horsepower requirements and increases potential
ground speed. When fi ne shredding is desired, adjust
rotary cutter deck level or slightly lower in the rear.
This will keep the foliage under rotary cutter until
thoroughly shredded. More power is required for
shredding.
18 Operation
5. Lower tailwheel to support rear of the cutter.
6. Install bolt, washers and lock nut (A) into one of
seven holes (C) that aligns with hole in wheel support.
7. Reinstall bolt, washers and lock nut. Tighten lock
nut. (A)
NOTE:
The tailwheel supports the rear of the machine and
the draft links support the front to allow the cutter
to follow the ground contour.
These rotary cutters can be adjusted to several cutter
heights by moving the rockshaft control lever in
conjunction with moving the tailwheel adjustment bolt
among the height adjustment holes. On the RC2048,
RC2060 & RC2072, cutting heights can be adjusted
from 1.5 inches to 9.0 inches. On the RC2084, the
cutting height can be adjusted from 1.75 inches to 11.0
inches. On dual wheel models of the RC2084, both
tailwheels will have to be adjusted.
