Transporting

WARNING

!

To avoid serious injury or death:

•

Select a safe ground speed when transporting. Never travel

at a speed which does not allow adequate control of steering

and stopping, and never exceed 20 mph (32.2 km/h) with

attached equipment. Rough terrain requires a slower speed.

•

When traveling on roadways, travel in such a way that

other vehicles may pass you safely. Use LED lights, clean

reflectors, and a slow moving vehicle sign that is visible

from the back to warn operators in other vehicles of your

presence. Always comply with all federal, state, and local

1.

Make sure driveline does not contact tractor or cutter
when raising cutter to the transport position.

2. Reduce tractor ground speed when turning and leave

enough clearance so cutter does not contact
obstacles such as buildings, trees, or fences.

3. Limit transport speed to 20 mph. Transport only with

a farm tractor of sufficient size and horsepower.

4. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way

that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.

5. Shift tractor to a lower gear when traveling over rough

or hilly terrain.

IMPORTANT:

Always disengage power take-off and

wait for driveline to stop rotating before raising
implement to transport position.

Blade Engagement & Disengagement

cutter blades can lock-up against each other during start-
up and shut-down especially if the tractor’s power take-
off engagement is

“INSTANT ON”

and

“INSTANT OFF”

.

Following Blade Engagement and Blade Disengagement
instructions on page 19 will help eliminate blade lock up.

Blade Engagement

1.

Increase throttle to a speed just enough to get the
cutter started without stalling tractor while slowly
engaging power take-off drivelines. Use tractor’s
power take-off soft start option if available.

2. Ensure that all power shafts are rotating and that the

cutter is not vibrating excessively after ramping up to
power take-off speed for at least 3 seconds. If
excessive vibration continues after 3 seconds at full
power take-off speed, disengage power take-off
immediately, shut down tractor, and remove switch
key.

3. Check blades for a lock-up situation. Block cutter

deck up before working under the unit. Unlock
blades, remove support blocks, and repeat

Engagement”

instructions.

Blade Disengagement

1.

Slowly decrease throttle speed until engine idle
speed is reached and then disengage power take-off.

2. Engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off

and remove switch key. Stay on tractor until blades
have come to a complete stop.
