6.2 Setting Implement Height
1. Park the tractor and implement on level
ground.
2. Using the 3-point hitch control lever, position
the front of the implement with its side skids
1”less off the ground than desired operational
height. For example, for a 3” operational
height, position the skids 2” from the ground.
Set the 3-point control lever stop at this
position to maintain this height when raising
and lowering the implement.
3. Shut down the tractor and remove the key.
4. Level the implement deck front to rear by
extending or retracting the 3-point top link.
5. Level the implement side to side by
manipulating one lower lift arm length. On
most tractors, at least one of the lift arms is
designed to allow for manipulation of its length.
Shortening or extending will allow for deck
leveling from side to side.
6. Securely block up the implement at this height.
7. DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT
The driveline yoke and tractor PTO shaft must be
dirt free and greased for attachment.
To connect the mower driveline to the tractor PTO
output shaft, pull the driveline yoke collar back and
align the grooves and splines of the yoke with
those of the PTO shaft. Push the driveline yoke
onto the PTO shaft, release the locking collar, and
position the yoke until the locking collar balls are
seated onto the PTO shaft. Push and pull the
driveline back and forth several times to ensure a
secure attachment.
