3.3 Tractor Horsepower
The power required to operate a mower is determined by the tractor PTO horsepower. For most mowing
conditions, the RX96 lift mower requires a tractor with at least 55 HP and the semi-mount and pull type mower
require at least 30 HP. Operating the mower with a tractor that does not have adequate power may damage
the tractor engine. Exceeding 90HP may cause mower damage by overpowering the unit in heavy cutting
conditions.
3.4 3-Point Hitch
Lift Type Mower-The tractor 3-point hitch must be
rated to lift at least 2000 lbs.
The Lift and Semi-Mount Type Mower is designed
to be mounted on tractors with either a CAT II or III
3-point hitch. Refer to the tractor’s Operator’s
Manual for the category of the tractor being used. If
the hitch does not conform to ASAE CAT II or III
dimensions, the mower may not fit or raise properly.
Consult an authorized dealer for possible
modification procedures to mount nonconforming
hitches.
Use the correct hitch pins for the hitch category
being used. For a Cat II hitch, 1-1/8” lower and a 1”
upper diameter hitch pins are used and Cat III
hitches require 1-7/16” lower and a 1-1/4” upper
diameter hitch pins.

3.2 Tractor Safety Devices
If transporting or operating the tractor and implement near a public roadway, the tractor must be equipped with
proper warning lighting and a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem which are clearly visible from the rear of
the unit. Lights and a SMV emblem must be equipped directly on implements if the visibility of the tractor
warning signals are obscured.
Maintain all manufacturer equipped safety shields and guards. Always replace shields and guards that were
removed for access to connect, service, or repair the tractor or implement. Never operate the tractor PTO
with the PTO master shield missing or in the raised position.
