INTRODUCTION
2-1 DESCRIPTION
The HDTH cutters (Figure 2-1) are grooming mowers intended for cutting lawns, golf courses, athletic fields, or any
maintained area where a clean, uniform finish is desired. Uplift blades form a suction during operation to lift the grass
before cutting it. The caster wheel arrangement along with the floating lift linkage and optional front roller, all work
together to give an even cut and minimize scalping.
Power from the tractor is transmitted through a telescoping driveline to the gearbox. It is then passed to the spindle
housings by a single, B-section, Aramid Cord reinforced belt. Drivetrain protection is provided by belt slippage.
