CUTTING HEIGHT
Maximum cutting height (50 mm / 2") (fig. 1) is achieved when the discs are parallel to the ground. Adjustment of
cutting height is achieved by altering the cutterbar tilt angle. This is effected by varying top link length (H) (photos
29 and 30) until desired cutting height is achieved. To minimize blade and disc wear, improve grass regrowth and
get maximum nutritive value from the crop, minimum cutting height should never be adjusted less then 30 mm
/ 1 1/4" (fig. 2).

For tractors not equipped with hydraulic
position control function
the stop-chain delivered
with the machine must be used.
- Lower machine until hitch pins (F) are 450 mm (18")
or slightly more from the ground.
- Connect stop-chain (D) with its hook (G) supplied in
the hardware kit of the machine to one of the free
holes at the tractors top link attachment clevis.
- Lower the machine into working position. Chassis
height is correct when :
- The cutterbar is resting on the ground.
- Stop-chain (D) is tight.
- E = 450 mm (18") (distance of lower
hitch pins from ground).
- To keep this adjustment permanently, close hook
eyelet with roll pin (dia. 5 x 45 mm).
WARNING : BEFORE PUTTING THE MACHINE IN WORK OR TRANSPORT POSITION,
ENSURE ALL PERSONS ARE WELL CLEAR OF THE CUTTERBAR PIVOTING AREA.
