Installing Drive Wheels
A drive wheel includes a rim and a bar or turf tire, depending on the application. A lifting device capable of supporting a
minimum of 907 kg (2000 lb.) is required to lift the wheel assembly. The windrower is shipped with the drive wheels
unattached. They will need to be installed on the windrower.
CAUTION
Use a lifting device capable of supporting a minimum of 907 kg (2000 lb.) to lift the wheel assembly.
IMPORTANT:
The windrower must be supported with stands while the drive wheels are being installed.

cab-forward.
