Section 3 Adjustments
Leveling Procedure
There are 4 primary adjustments that should be made pri-
or to actual field operations:
a. Deck level from left to right
b. Tractor top link length
c. Tractor lower link height
d. Tailwheel height
Proper adjustment of each of these items will provide for
higher efficiency, improved cutting performance and long-
er blade life. The following tools will be needed:
a. Pliable tape measure
b. Spirit or carpenters level
c. Open end or hex end wrench or socket set
d. Protective gloves
Having completed, the " Tractor Hookup", locate the
tractor on a flat, level surface.
Lift-Type Cutter
1. Use the tractors hydraulic 3-point control to lower the
cutter until the tailwheel contacts ground surface.
2. Place a spirit level or other suitable leveling device on
the front of the cutter deck as shown in Figure 3-1. Ad-
just either one or both of the tractors lower link height
adjustments to level the deck from left to right. Some
tractors have only a single adjusting crank.
3. Similarly, place a level on either of the main deck
channels. Use the tractors 3-point hydraulic control to
level the cutter deck from front to rear.
4. Adjust the length of the tractors top link such that the
pivoting upper hitch is aligned vertically with the lower
hitch pins. See Figure 3-2.

DANGER!
Engage parking brake, disengage PTO, shut off tractor and re-
move key before proceeding. Ensure that all moving parts have
come to a complete stop before dismounting from the tractor.
!
CAUTION!
Wear a pair of gloves when performing this operation. Go to the
back of the cutter and carefully rotate each blade to the position
shown in Figure 3-1. Avoid direct contact with the cutting edge
of the blade.
Nominal Cutting Height
Measure the distance from the end (cutting tip) of the
blade to the ground surface. This distance is the nominal
cutting height. Refer to Figure Figure 3-3.
