driveline and store in appropriate place. Disconnect three point linkage and
carefully drive tractor away from mower.
3.11 - Transport
Before raising the mower for transport, the tractor top link must be adjusted so when
lifted, the rear of the machine is higher than the front (the mower’s nose is tilted
downward). To do this, shorten the tractor top link until the top hitch plate is locked
forward and no longer able to pivot. This will keep the mower locked in position and
minimize the shaking and bouncing during transport which can damage the hitch or
frame.
CAUTION: Make sure PTO is disengaged and blades have stopped turning before
raising mower to full transport position. Do not tow tractor and mower behind
other vehicles. Use a properly equipped trailer with heavy tie-downs for towing
operations.
Before transporting:
1. Always select a safe ground speed that is appropriate for the terrain.
2. Beware of traffic on public roads. Install a SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) sign when
traveling on roads or streets. Comply with all federal, state and local laws.
3. Reduce ground speed when turning and take care that the implement does not strike
obstacles such as trees, fences or buildings.
4. Always disengage PTO before raising the implement to transport position.
5. When raising the mower be sure the PTO driveline does not hit either the mower or
the tractor.
6. During transport the mower should not be lifted over 14”-16” from the ground.
3.12 - Quick Hitch Adapter Assembly and Operation
Using a Quick Hitch system:
These mowers can be used with a Quick Hitch system, allowing for quick and easy
hookup, by installing an optional adapter. This optional adapter has floating yokes that
will allow the mower to follow the contour of the ground.
WARNING: When using a Quick Hitch on a PTO driven implement always ensure
there is the proper driveline overlap prior to use. If there is not the minimum 6”
driveline overlap do not use and contact your nearest dealer to purchase a longer
driveline.
