Getting Started
The RCF36 Series cutters can be purchased with either
3-point hitch, Semi-Mount hitch, or Pull-Type hitch.
3-Point Mounted Rotary Cutters
Refer to illustrations on cover of manual:
The 3-point Rotary Cutter is attached to the tractor’s
lower 3-point arms and upper center link. The lower
3-point arms are hydraulically adjusted to the cutting
height. The height of the rear tailwheels are manually or
hydraulically adjusted depending upon which option the
cutter is set-up with. The tailwheels should be adjusted to
hold the cutting blades slightly higher at the back than at
the front. The “3-Point Assembly & Set-Up” instructions
begin on page 12.
Semi-Mount Rotary Cutters
Refer to illustrations on Cover
The Semi-Mount cutter is attached to the tractor’s lower
3-point arms and have more freedom to float over uneven
terrain than does the 3-point mounted cutter. The lower
3-point arms are hydraulically adjusted to the cutting
height. The rear tailwheels are manually adjusted with a
ratchet jack or hydraulically adjusted to hold the cutting
blades slightly higher at the back than at the front. The
“Semi-Mount Assembly & Set-Up” instructions begin
on page 17.
Pull-Type Rotary Cutters
Refer to illustrations on Cover
The Pull-Type cutter is attached to the tractor drawbar.
Cutting height is controlled with a hydraulic cylinder or
ratchet jack. Leveling rods keep the rear of the cutter
slightly higher than the front. The “Pull-Type Assembly
& Set-Up” instructions begin on page 22.
