9. Pull back on driveline guard (2) to check that the
driveline is latched. Do not pull back on the collar,
as this will release the driveline.
10. Attach the safety chain on the driveline guard to
the tractor.
WARNING
Entanglement Hazard
Operating the tractor PTO without the
driveline shields can result in physical injury
or death from entanglement. Make sure all driveline
shields are properly installed before operating the
PTO. Make sure all motion has stopped before
attaching or detaching the driveline.
11. Inspect the hydraulic hoses to ensure they are in
good condition and clean the fittings. Route the
hydraulic hoses through the hose rack and attach
to the tractor’s hydraulic ports. Make sure the
hoses are adequately supported so they cannot
come in contact with other parts or the ground.
12. Make sure the driveline has adequate clearance
through the full range of cutter height adjustment.
Adjust tractor drawbar height and/or length if there
is interference. See “6.2.5 Drawbar” on page 33
for correct drawbar dimensions.
6.4 Setting the Rotary Cutter
Properly setting the rotary cutter is essential for
efficient and safe operation. A properly set rotary
cutter will make a more uniform cut, distribute clippings
more evenly, require minimal tractor work, and follow
the contour of uneven terrain. The two adjustments to
make before cutting are:
• Leveling front-to-back
• Cutting height
Note:
Avoid very low cutting heights. Striking the
ground with the blades causes damaging shock
loads and will cause damage to the rotary cutter
and drive. Blades contacting the ground may
cause objects to be thrown out from under the
cutter deck. Avoid operating the rotary cutter at
a height which causes the blades to contact the
ground.
6.4.1 Leveling Front-to-Back
1.
Locate the tractor and cutter on a flat, level surface
and use the hydraulics to adjust the cutter height
until the front skid shoes are two to three inches off
the ground.
2. Shorten or lengthen the leveling rods, as needed,
until the front of the deck is level with the rear of the
deck. Lengthening the leveling rods raises the back
of the cutter.
a. Operating the rotary cutter with the deck
approximately 3/4” higher in the rear than the
front will allow the rotary cutter to cut the grass
only once and requires less work from the
tractor.
b. Operating the rotary cutter with the deck
approximately 3/4” higher in the front than the
rear will increase mulching of the grass or crop
material.
c. Operating the rotary cutter at any position
other than level with the ground will result in a
slightly uneven cut.
3. Adjust the leveling rods to have equal amounts of
tension.
