5. CONNECTING THE CUTTER TO THE TRACTOR
Use extreme caution when connecting the cutter to the tractor. The cutter should be securely resting at ground
level or setting securely on blocks. Keep hands and feet from under cutter deck and clear of pinch points
between tractor hitch arms and cutter pins.
1. Make sure the tractor is equipped with the correct
PTO shaft. Change shafts if needed.
2. Shorten or remove the tractor drawbar to avoid
interference when raising and lowering the cutter.
3. Board the tractor and start the engine. Position
the tractor to the cutter with the 3-point lift arms
positioned between the respective set of cutter A-
frame lift lugs.
4. Turn off the tractor engine and dismount.
5. One lift arm at a time, align arm end hole between
the set of holes of A-frame lift lugs. Insert hitch
pin through the lug and arm holes and insert
retaining pin into hitch pin.
6. Walk around to opposite side and repeat
procedure for remaining lift arm and lift lugs.
7. Extend or retract 3-point top link to align its end
hole with the holes of the cutter’s top link. Insert
the top link hitch pin and insert retaining pin into
hitch pin.
8. Attach hydraulic hose ends of retractable rear
guard cylinder into tractor hydraulic ports.
9. Adjust any lower link check chains, guide blocks,
or sway blocks to prevent the cutter from swaying
side to side and possible contact with tractor rear
tires.
Never stand or allow another person to stand between a running Tractor and the Mower
when attaching the Implement to the Tractor 3-point hitch. Always shut the Tractor off
completely and set the parking brake before attempting to connect the Mower pins to the
Tractor hitch
