6.1 Setting Mower Height - Lift Type
1. Park the tractor and mower on level ground .
2. Using the 3-point hitch control lever, position
the front of the mower with the side skids 1”
less off the ground than desired cut height. For
example, for a 3” cut, position the skids 2”
from the ground. Set the 3-point control lever
stop at this position to maintain this height
when raising and lowering the mower.
3. Shut down the tractor and remove the key.
4. Level the mower deck front to rear by
extending or retracting the 3-point top link.
5. Level the mower side to side by manipulating
one lower lift arm length. On most tractors, at
least one of the lift arms is designed to allow
for manipulation of its length. Shortening or
extending will allow for deck leveling from side
to side.
6. Securely block up the mower at this height.
7. Remove the bolts securing the tailwheel beam
support brackets and allow the tailwheel(s) to
rest at ground level. Align beam and
positioning bracket holes with closest set of
holes in support brackets and reinstall
securing the beam(s) in position. Tighten all
bolts and nuts
8. Extend the tractor’s top 3-point link so that
when lifting the mower, the front of the deck
will raise 2 to 2½" before the tail wheel(s)
leaves the ground. This will allow the mower
to follow the contour of uneven terrain.
NOTE: Install optional check chains when there is
a problem with the hydraulic 3-Point lift
maintaining a set height or when a constant
preadjusted cut height is required. See Check
Chains in the Assembly Section for this accessory.
