OPERATING THE MOWER 

 

5.1.

 

Hitching the mower to a tractor 

CAUTION!  

The ALPINA / SAMBA F mower can only be coupled to a tractor with a floating 
TPH control system. 
 

Before coupling the mower with the tractor, make sure that the sense of rotation of the mower 

and tractor PTOs is the same. The standard version of this machine can be coupled with a tractor with 
a front PTO which rotates counter-

clockwise (looking at the tractor’s front). Otherwise, the sense of 

rotation must be reversed. If the PTO is not reversible, remove the 1st intersecting axis gear from the 
mower and reinstall it rot

ated by 180° (

Fig. 10

).
