Hitching Mower To Tractor
Three-point hitch-mounted mowers:
— Refer to mower and tractor manufacturers’ manuals.
— Place tractor’s hydraulic power lift (rockshaft)
selector lever in down position to avoid unexpected
movement.
— Explain the hitching procedures to those operators
who cannot read.
— Front-end weights may be needed to maintain
steering control and front-end stability. Refer to the
manufacturers' operator's manual(s).
— When backing the tractor up to the mower, NEVER
allow anyone between the tractor and the mower.
— Attach the mower to the tractor three-point links and
securely pin in position.
— Securely attach the driveline to the tractor PTO.
Lower the master shield into place if it is movable.
Push and pull on the driveline to ensure it is locked
onto the PTO shaft.
