Cutter Height Adjustment
Refer to Figure 2-5:
1. At the cutting site, unfold wing and raise center deck
fully up with lift cylinder (#5). See instructions for
“Unfold Wing Deck” on page 21.
2. Place tractor gear selector in park, set park brake,
shut off tractor, and remove key before dismounting
from tractor.
3. Remove all stroke control spacers (#1, #2, #3, & #4)
from center hydraulic cylinder (#5) by spreading them
apart at the break line. Store spacers in a location
where they can be retrieved.
4. Start tractor and engage blades. See instructions for
“Engage Blades”
on page 38.
5. Using tractor control lever, adjust cutter to the desired
cutting height and then travel forward for
approximately 20 to 50 feet.
6. Stop tractor, disengage power take-off, place tractor
gear selector in park, set park brake, shut off tractor,
remove key, and wait for blades to come to a
complete stop before dismounting from tractor.
7. Measure height of cut grass/material. This distance
is the cutting height. If this height is acceptable,
continue with step 8. If this height is unacceptable,
repeat steps 4-7 until desired cutting height is
achieved.
8. Select required size and number of stroke control
spacers (#1, #2, #3, & #4) that will fit on the center
hydraulic cylinder rod. The following spacers are
available.
•
(#1): Two 1" spacers
•
(#2): One 1 1/4" spacer
•
(#3): One 1 1/2" spacer
•
(#4): One 1 3/4" spacer

NOTE: Make all cutting height adjustments in the
field using height of cut grass/material as a guide.
Do not measure blade height above ground as the
non-operating blade height will be different than the
operating blade height.
9. Return to the tractor and raise Rotary Cutter up
again. With tractor shut off and switch key removed,
install selected stroke control spacers on the center
hydraulic cylinder rod. Do not install spacers on the
wing rephasing cylinder.
10. Return to tractor and lower cutter against stroke
control spacers. Recheck cutting height in steps 4-7.
If needed, adjust size and quantity of stroke control
spacers until desired cutting height is achieved.
Removing spacers lowers the cutting height and
adding spacers raises the cutting height.
11. Keep remaining spacers with tractor for field
adjustments.
