Cutting height
The height can be adjusted from 26 to 100 mm (1’ -
4’’). Centralized adjustment by means of a pitch angle
adjustment rod fitted with a graduated scale (1).
To adjust the cutting height:
- Lift lock (2).
- Turn clockwise to reduce cutting height (a).
- Turn counter-clockwise to increase the cutting
height (b).
- Lower lock (2).
Place the machine on flat ground.
The cutting height is adjusted with the
machine attached, hitch pins at
500 mm (1’8’’) from the ground.
The maximum cutting height (L1 =
100 mm (3.9’’)) is obtained when the discs are
parallel to the ground.
The minimum cutting height must not be below
(L2 = 26 mm (1’’)).
Too low a cutting height can lead to:
Excessive disc and knife wear.
Crop being contaminated by soil.
Delay in regrowth.
