Before attaching the Mower Carrier to a Tractor, it is very important to adjust the Tractor 

Drawbar and Clevis Hitch on the Mower Carrier.  The Mower Carrier is designed to operate with 

a 540-RPM PTO Drive.  The Tractor Drawbar must be set at the standard distance for 540-RPM 

PTO Drives which is 14 inches from the end of the PTO Shaft on the Tractor to the Hitch Pin 

hole.  The Tractor Drawbar can be adjusted to obtain this measurement.  The Clevis Hitch on the 

Mower Carrier is designed to provide four different height positions.  Select the proper position 

to keep the Main Frame and Mower Carrier parallel with the ground.  After the Tractor Drawbar 

and the Mower Carrier Clevis Hitch are properly adjusted, the Tractor and Mower Carrier can be 

hitched together. 

 

WARNING: Do not disconnect Mower Carrier from Tractor  

 unless Cutterbar is lowered to the ground.

When attaching a Mower to the Mower Carrier, the original Mower Driveline will be used 

between the Tractor and the input on the Mower Carrier. Due to variations in the length of PTO 

Drivelines it may be necessary to shorten the Mower Driveline to fit between the Mower and the 

input on the Mower Carrier.  Consult your Mower’s Operating Manual for proper cutting 

procedure.  Be sure to allow a 1” safety margin at the Driveline’s closest collapsed length.  Do 

not shorten more than necessary.  The Driveline halves should have an overlap of 4” to 6” after 

shortening. The PTO Driveline that was furnished with the Mower Carrier will connect from the 

Mower Carrier to the Mower. 

 

 

 

CAUTION: PTO Drivelines must not bottom out or Damage will 

occur. 

 

 

 

CAUTION: Grease Drivelines Daily.  Failure to do so may cause 

severe damage.
