Set Blade Cutting Height

Adjust cutter to field cutting height. See

“Adjust Cutter

Height”

on page 40.

Set Wing Lift Lever to Float Position

Use float position of your tractor’s hydraulic system to

provide automatic floating of the wings for varying terrain

conditions. This will ensure wing gauge wheels are in

continuous contact with the ground at all times.

Rephasing Lift Cylinders

The lift cylinders may, after a period of time, get out of

time or phase. The effects of this can be seen when one

deck of the cutter is higher or lower than the others

because its lift cylinder is retracted more than the other lift

cylinders. Also, tractors with pressure detentes do not

allow hydraulic systems to “automatically” rephase at the

top of the lift cycle. This must be done manually or the

rephasing cylinders will not function properly.
To rephase lift cylinders manually, raise cutter completely

up and hold tractor hydraulic lever on for several seconds

to give cylinders time to rephase. This should be done

each time the cutter is raised and whenever the decks are

uneven.

Select Gear Range

Optimum ground speed depends on density of material

being cut, horsepower rating of tractor, and terrain.

Always operate tractor at cutter’s full-rated power take-off

speed in a gear range that allows the cutter to make a

smooth cut without lugging the tractor down, usually

2 to 5 mph (3.2 to 8.0 km/h). Loss of power take-off speed

will allow blades to hinge back and result in ragged,

uneven cutting.

IMPORTANT:

Do not let the wing flex down more

than 20 degrees while operating the cutter. Doing so

can cause damage to the cutter.

IMPORTANT:

When cutting, the wing folding lever

should be in float position to avoid damage to the

wing hydraulic cylinder and axle while cutting on

uneven terrain.

Engage Blades

1. Select a gear range that will allow the cutter to make

a smooth cut without lugging the tractor down.

See

“Select Gear Range”

on this page.

2. With wings lowered, increase throttle to a speed just

enough to get the cutter started without stalling the

tractor while slowly engaging the power take-off. Use

tractor’s power take-off soft start option if available.

3. Ensure power shafts are rotating at full power take-off

speed and cutter is not vibrating excessively for three

full seconds at full cutter speed. If cutter vibrates for

three full seconds, immediately disengage power

take-off, shut tractor down, and remove ignition key.

Wait for all blades to come to a complete stop before

dismounting the tractor.

4. If cutter was shut down due to excessive vibration,

investigate the cause.

See

“Remove Blade Carrier

Blockage”

on page 47 for detailed instructions.

5. If cutter was not shut down, continue with forward

cutting operation at full power take-off operating

speed. Make a new gear selection if tractor is lugging

down or if cutter is making a rough cut.

6. Periodically, shut tractor down according to

“Tractor Shutdown Procedure”

on page 42 and

inspect the cutter.

7. Dismount tractor and check for objects wrapped

around the blade spindles. Block deck up before

removing objects.

8. Frequently inspect cutter for loose bolts and nuts.

Tighten all loose hardware as indicated in the

“Torque Values Chart”

on page 79.

Disengage Blades

NOTE:

Never run tractor in an economy mode or

any other mode that will drop power or speed from

the power take-off. This may result in ragged and

uneven cutting.

IMPORTANT:

Cutter blades can lock-up against

each other during start-up and shut-down,

especially if tractor’s power take-off engagement is

“INSTANT ON” and/or “INSTANT OFF”. Follow Blade

Engagement and Blade Disengagement instructions

to help eliminate blade lock up.

IMPORTANT:

It will take longer for the blades to

come to a complete stop on cutters equipped with a

main driveline that has an over-running clutch, as

opposed to a cutter with a main driveline that does

not have an over-running clutch.
