Trail-Type Tractor Hook-Up
Refer to Figure 1-11:
1. In hooking up the cutter, maintain proper distance be-
tween the drawbar hitch point and the end of the trac-
tors PTO shaft. This distance is 14” for 540 RPM.
2. Locate the cutter on a flat level surface. Back the trac-
tor to the cutter and secure the cutter to the tractor
drawbar with a 1” -8 x 4 1/2” long bolt, lock washer and
nut provided. Use washers supplied if needed as
shims to secure tongue clevis to drawbar. (May need
to adjust turnbuckle to obtain correct drawbar height.)
IMPORTANT: Parking jack use: Whenever using parking
jack (#3) install lock pin through jack and tube bracket
welded to tongue. Use jack to raise and lower tongue to
connect to the tractor drawbar. When tongue is connected
to tractor drawbar retract jack fully, remove pin and store
jack as shown in Figure 1-12. When using jack to support
cutter while being disconnected leave cutter in transport
position. Attach jack to tongue mounting tube using lock
pin and rotate handle to raise.
3. Attach (black) slide collar (#1) to tractor PTO. Twist the
quick disconnect on the yoke and push it forward to
engage the groove on the splined output shaft. Attach
hydraulic hose (#2) to tractor hydraulic system.
