Tractor Hook-up
Refer to Figure 1-3:
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Prepare Cutter for Hook-up
1.
Cutter should be on a flat, level, hard surface with
extension arm cylinder (#9) retracted and deck tilt
cylinder (#8) extended until deck is horizontal .
2.
Make certain lower 3-point arms are stabilized to
prevent excessive side-to-side movement.
3-Point Hook-up to Cat. ll Standard Hitch
Refer to Figure 1-3:
1.
Slowly back tractor up to cutter while using 3-point
hydraulic controls to lower and position lift arm hitch
holes between cutter clevis plates and in-line with
clevis plate hitch pin holes.
IMPORTANT:
Hydraulic fluid must be added to the
cutter hydraulic reservoir and shut-off valve turned
fully open before operating the pump. Otherwise, the
hydraulic pump will be damaged.
IMPORTANT:
A quick hitch may be used, but is not
recommended because it moves the implement
back about 5" and impedes operator visibility.
NOTE:
Driveline installation instructions will follow
after hooking-up cutter to tractor as the distance
between tractor power take-off shaft and speed
increaser input shaft can vary from tractor to tractor.

supplied clevis pin (#6) and pin keeper (#7).
6.
Connect hoses (#10 & #11) attached to extension
arm cylinder (#9) to a single duplex outlet on the
tractor. This is best if connected to the control lever
closest to the operator.
7.
If not already done, connect hoses (#12 & #13) to the
2nd control lever away from the operator. Hoses (#12
& #13) are attached to deck pivot cylinder (#8). This
control lever must be capable of being placed in float
detent position when gauge wheel is included.
