WORKING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The machine’s working height is determined by the position of the rear roller. Lifting the roller, the cutters
get close to the soil, whereas lowering it, the cutters get further from it. After a modification of the working
height be sure that the cutters skim the ground; a direct contact with it would cause their wear and this
could affect the cutting rotor balance and may cause objects to be thrown out from under the mower deck.
FLAIL MOWER ADJUSTMENT
• On a flat piece of ground, attach the flail mower to the tractor using the three point linkage.
• Use a solid adjustable top link.
• Lower the three point linkage to its lowest position.
• With the roller at the rear in contact with the ground, adjust the length of the top link so that the lower
edge at the side of the flail mower is parallel with the ground.
• Rotate the blade drum by hand so that a row of blades hangs vertically towards the ground.
• Measure the clearance between the bottom of the extended blades and the ground.
• Minimum 50mm
• Note in rough or lumpy paddocks the clearance needs to be increased to ensure that blades don’t impact
the ground.
• Adjust the roller height to increase or decrease the blade clearance as required.
• Go through steps 4 to 7 until the required clearance is achieved.
When flail mower has been set up with the required tolerances, operate the flail mower with tractor in low
range and the PTO delivering 1000 RPM.
