Headstock Position - Agricut 180
The pasture topper can be offset to the right in steps of 112mm. This means the machine can be used so that
only one tractor wheel is running on uncut material in front of the machine and may also be useful for cutting
underneath low cover, for example at the edges of hedgerows.
NOTE: In the normal position the P.T.O. shafts on the tractor and machine will be in line.
