Starting Cutter
Power for operating the cutter is supplied from the tractor PTO. Refer to your tractor manual for
instructions on engaging and disengaging the PTO.

The momentum created by the blade carrier can push the tractor forward unexpectedly.

designed to operate at 540 RPM; however, a 1000 RPM design is an option.

Proper operating speed for equipment will depend upon the height, density, and type of the material
to be cut. Regardless of chosen ground speed, always operate the PTO at the recommended RPM
when cutting.
