Operation - Series I Rotary Cutter
Operation Instructions
1. Connecting to Tractor: All cutters are supplied with a standard 1-3/8" (35 mm) 6-spline yoke on
the PTO shaft.
WARNING
This cutter is designed to operate only with a 540 rpm PTO. After
connecting cutter to tractor and before doing any cutting, check
to see that the PTO shaft is not touching anywhere on the cutter
when raising and lowering or when cornering.
2. PTO Shafts: Make sure the length of the PTO shaft is compatible with different working
positions of the cutter. Carefully follow the lubrication chart supplied with the PTO shaft. When
cutting, avoid joint angles over 35
o . PTO shafts should be disengaged when turning sharp
corners. Using tape or a bright colored marking pen, mark on the outer shields the position
where the shaft is completely pushed together and the position where you have a 4" overlap.
Watch these marks when moving the cutter through all possible operating angles to see that
the PTO shaft stays within this range.
PTO Shafts with Shear Pin: Loosen the outer shield on the implement end of the PTO and push
the gearbox shaft through the end yoke. Using snap ring pliers, put the snap ring on the end
of the gearbox shaft. This is what keeps the PTO shaft on if the shear pin breaks and the cutter
should not be used without it. Insert a 1⁄2" x 3-1⁄2" (13 x 89 mm) Grade 2 bolt with a lock nut to
act as shear pin and replace all shields.
3. Operating Tractor Engine: Operate the tractor PTO at 540 rpm when doing normal cutting. If
the forward speed is too high, a lower gear can be used.
4. Cutting: The cutter should be run with the front end a little low or just level for normal light
cutting. For brush or dense tall weeds, running front end high may give a better shredding
job. On rough ground, the front end will also tend to dig in less. The cutter can also be used to
shred stubble or top vegetables prior to harvest.
