Spearhead Star-Cut
910/1210
Introduction
The Spearhead Star-Cut 1210 is a heavy duty rotary mower for a set-aside, stubble
and pasture topping. By carefully following the instructions in this handbook, the
machine will give many years of trouble free operation.
Safety First
Never start using the machine until the handbook has been read and understood.
The Starcut 1210 rotary mower is a potentially lethal machine if used incorrectly and
it is essential that the operator fully understands the working before starting up.
Tractor Requirements
•
Spearhead recommend tractors over 250hp.
•
A clevis drawbar must be used.
•
The tractor should have a minimum weight of 5000 kg.
•
The tractor must have a 1000RPM PTO (
20 spline x 1 ¾ ”
).
•
2 external hydraulic double acting services are required, for operating wing
rams with float facility.
•
1 external hydraulic double acting service required for operating the height
wheels.
Attaching to the Tractor
It is essential to ensure that the tractor lift arms cannot foul the PTO shaft, even when
the tractor is turning on full lock. It is advisable to remove them altogether if there is
any doubt.
The tractor drawbar should be extended to its maximum not less then 400mm from
the PTO. This will enable turning in work without damaging the drive shaft. Never
attach the mower using the pick-up hitch as
this will cause damage to the drive shaft.
Fit the nylon washer between the mower
drawbar and the tractor clevis, as shown, to
reduce wear between the two parts. The
nylon washer is a replaceable wearing
part (4600139).
Warning
Do not attach machine
to pick up hook. This
will damage the P.T.O.
