Deck Leveling & Height Adjustments
There are 4 primary adjustments that should be made
prior to actual field operations:
•
Deck Leveling From Left to Right
•
Deck Leveling From Front to Rear
•
Tractor Center 3-Point Adjustment
•
Tail Wheel Height Adjustment
Proper adjustment of each of these items will provide for
higher efficiency, improved cutting performance, and
longer blade life. The following tools will be needed:
•
Pliable tape measure
•
Carpenters level
•
3/4" Open end or hex end wrench or socket set
•
Protective gloves
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Always shut tractor down using “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure” provided in this manual before dismounting
tractor.
Deck Leveling From Left to Right
Refer to Figure 2-1:
1.
Locate tractor and Rotary Cutter on a flat, level
surface.
2. Use tractor’s hydraulic 3-Point control to lower cutter
until tailwheel contacts ground surface.
3. Place a spirit level or other suitable leveling device on
the front of the cutter deck. Adjust either one or both of
the tractor’s lower link height adjustments to level the
deck from left to right. Some tractors have only a
single adjusting crank.

Deck Leveling From Front to Rear
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Avoid direct contact with cutter blades by wearing a pair of
gloves. Cutter blades have sharp edges and burrs that can
cause injuries.
Refer to Figure 2-1:
1.
Place a level on one of the main deck channels.
Using the tractor’s 3-Point hydraulic control lever,
raise or lower the 3-Point arms until the deck is
slightly lower at the front (approximately 1" lower)
than at the back.
2. The top center link should be loose when deck rear is
supported by the tail wheel. If not, lengthen center
link until loose. Final adjustment will be made later.
IMPORTANT: The front blade tip should be lower
than rear blade tip by approximately 1". The cutter is
subject to continuous material flow under the deck if
the rear blade is at the same height or lower than the
front blade causing horsepower loss, grass clumps,
blade wear, and frequent blade sharpening.
