DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Do not use a power take-off adapter. The adapter will increase
strain on the tractor’s power take-off shaft causing possible
damage to shaft and driveline. It will also defeat the purpose
of the tractor’s power take-off shield.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Do not use a tractor that is too small or too large. Small
tractors can be pushed around and flipped over. Large
tractors can damage the attached implement.
•
Power take-off damage may occur if distances “A” and
“B” are not properly maintained.
Maintain proper distance, dimension “A”, between center
of drawbar hitch pin hole and end of tractor power take-off
shaft.

Hydraulic Set-up
The number of tractor hydraulic duplex outlets is
dependent upon how the Rotary Cutter is set-up. It is
highly recommended to connect the wing fold hose(s) to
a duplex outlet with float capabilities and use the float
when in field operation.
•
Two duplex outlets are required if the wings are raised
and lowered simultaneously. (Factory standard.)
•
Three duplex outlets are required if the wings are
raised and lowered independently. (Requires
“Hydraulic Wing Control Kit” on page 39 to raise
wings independently.)
Torque Requirements
See “Torque Values Chart” on page 63 to determine
correct torque values when tightening hardware. See
“Additional Torque Values” at bottom of chart for
exceptions to common torque values.
