OPERATION
5.1 Connecting the Mower Lift Type and Semi-Mount Type
1. Make sure the tractor is equipped with the
correct PTO shaft. Change shafts if needed.
2. Shorten or remove the tractor drawbar to avoid
interference when raising and lowering the
mower.
3. Board the tractor and start the engine. Position
the tractor to the mower with the 3-point lift
arms positioned between the respective set of
mower A-frame lift lugs. Note: Set the 3-point
lift control to “Position Control” so that the lift
arms maintain a constant height when attaching
the mower. See the tractor Operator’s Manual
for correct settings when attaching 3-point
equipment.
4. Turn off the tractor engine, set the parking
brake, place the tractor in park, and dismount.
5. One lift arm at a time, align arm end hole
between the set of holes of A-frame lift lugs.
Insert hitch pin through the lug and arm holes
and insert retaining pin into hitch pin. Walk
around to opposite side and repeat procedure
for remaining lift arm and hitch pin.
6. Lift Mowers-Extend or retract the 3-point top
link to align its end hole with the holes of the
mower’s top link. Insert the top link hitch pin
and insert retaining pin into hitch pin. Semi-
Mount Mowers-If hydraulic cylinders are being
used to raise and lower the mower or to control
an off set hitch, attach hose ends into the
tractor hydraulic ports.
7. Adjust any lower link check chains, guide
blocks, or sway blocks to prevent the mower
from swaying side to side and possible contact
with tractor rear tires.
5. CONNECTING THE MOWER TO THE TRACTOR
Use extreme caution when connecting the mower to the tractor. The mower should be securely resting at
ground level or setting on blocks. Keep hands and feet from under the mower deck and clear of pinch points
between the tractor hitch arms and mower pins. OPS-R-0001
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the
parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement
and Tractor hitches.
