Offset Mowing
The Tow Bar allows you to offset the cutting path of the TOW-BEHIND DR FIELD and FINISH MOWER up to 68" (Mow Pro-44
Model) and 76" (Mow Pro-60 Model) from the center of the Tow Vehicle. The various offset positions are listed in the
“Specifications” section in Chapter 2. Offset mowing allows you to mow closer to equipment, trees, and fences while the Tow
Vehicle stays at a safer distance. It also allows you to drive in an area already cut and not through grass that hasn’t been cut yet.
See the section “Changing the Tow Bar Offset Direction” on the next page to allow offsetting the Mower to the left side of the Tow
Vehicle.
Offsetting the Tow Bar:
1. Remove the Hair Pin, Washer, and Clevis Pin that secures the Tow Bar in
the Offset Bracket (
Figure 33 ).
2. Rotate the Tow bar to the Desired Offset (No Offset, Middle Offset, or Full
Offset).
3. Reinstall the Clevis Pin, Washer, and Hair Pin to Lock the Tow Bar in Place.
Offsetting the Tow Bar Extension:
1. Remove the Hair Pin, Washer, and Clevis Pin that secures the Tow Bar
Extension to the Tow Bar (
Figure 34
).
2. Rotate the Tow bar Extension so that the Offset angle is the same as at the
Offset Bracket (No Offset, Middle Offset, or Full Offset).
3. Reinstall the Clevis Pin, Washer, and Hair Pin to Lock the Tow Bar
Extension in Place.

When performing offset mowing, always be sure that the Tow Bar offset and the Tow Bar Extension offset match ( Figure 32 ). This
ensures the Tow-Behind DR Field and Finish Mower will track parallel to the tow vehicle path.
Always install the Clevis Pins from the bottom with the Washers and Hair Pins
on top to prevent the Hair Pin from being pulled out by tall grass or bushes.
