Operating Instructions
The Tree Cutter’s gear box, regardless of the tractor’s PTO of 540 or 1000 RPM is geared
to produce 810 RPM to the blade bar of the Tree Cutter. Multiply the 810 RPM times the 4 blades
on the blade bar, this will give you 3,240 blade strikes per minute. Divide that by 60 seconds per
minute and your total number of blade strikes per second is 54. The blade tip speed of a 6 foot Tree
Cutter is 173.41 miles per hour. All of this was said to make one point: The Brown Tree Cutter will
cut a large diameter tree off its stump before you know what happened.
The tractor ground speed backing into large diameter material is very important. If you cut a
tree too fast, it will cause the trunk of the tree to kick straight back allowing the top of the tree to fall
back toward the tractor. The proper ground speed for backing into the material is based on the size
of the material. The slower the unit is backed into large diameter trees the more time the pressure
bar and blades have to do their job. On folding deck models, with the folding deck open, the deck
itself will act as a shield to help shed the tree off to the side of the cutter and tractor.
Caution!
During the time the blades are making contact with any material, DO NOT move
the tractor lift setting. The movement of the cutter deck will again increase the pressure on the
blades. This pressure can and will cause blades to bend or break.
Special attention should be given when the unit is being turned in a tight area. The tail wheel as-
sembly projects several feet behind the unit In a tight turn it is possible to hit the tail wheel arm on
a nearby object or tree. The tail wheel assembly is not designed for side forces. These forces can
cause the assembly to fail.
Caution!
After the first hour of operation, the Tree Cutter must be shut down for mainte
-
nance and inspection. During this time ALL bolts must be checked for proper torque. If any bolts
are found to be loose, they must be tightened. Also check for wire or vines caught around to output
shaft of the gear box or the tail wheel axle.
