Adjust Cutting Height
1.
At the cutting site, unfold wing and raise center deck
fully up with lift cylinder.
2. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting. Refer
to
3. Remove all stroke control spacers (#2) from center
hydraulic cylinder (#1) by spreading them apart at
the break line. Store spacers in a location they can be
retrieved.
4. Start tractor and engage blades. See
on page 38 for detailed instructions.
5. Using tractor control lever, adjust cutter to the desired
cutting height and then travel forward for
approximately 20 to 50 feet.
6. Without changing cutter height, shut tractor down
properly before dismounting. Refer to
7.
Measure height of cut grass/material. This distance
is the cutting height. If this height is acceptable,
continue with step 8. If this height is unacceptable,
repeat steps 4 to 7 until desired cutting height is
achieved.
8. Select required size and number of stroke control
spacers (#2) that will fit on the center hydraulic
cylinder rod. The following spacers are available.
•
Two 1" spacers
•
One 1 1/4" spacer
•
One 1 1/2" spacer
•
One 1 3/4" spacer

NOTE:
Make all cutting height adjustments in the
field using height of cut grass/material as a guide.
Do not measure blade height above ground as the
non-operating blade height will be different than the
operating blade height.
9. Return to the tractor and raise Rotary Cutter up
again.
10. With tractor shut off and switch key removed, install
selected stroke control spacers on the center
hydraulic cylinder rod.
11. Restart tractor and lower cutter against stroke control
spacers.
12. Recheck cutting height in steps 4-7. If needed, adjust
size and quantity of stroke control spacers until
desired cutting height is achieved.
13. Keep remaining spacers with tractor for field
adjustments.

LP Performance Hitch Hole Size
The LP Performance Hitch is designed to receive
1" diameter hitch pins. To convert the hitch to receive
1 1/4" diameter hitch pins, knock out upper and lower
bushings (#1) in clevis (#2).
NOTE:
Removing spacers lowers cutting height and
adding spacers raises cutting height.
