Deck Leveling & Height Adjustment
Depending on your cutter set-up, instructions for leveling
the deck and adjusting cutting height will vary. Follow
instructions for your particular cutter set-up. Refer to:
“3-Point With Beam Arms” on this page
“3-Point or Semi-Mount With Rear Axle” on page 42
“Pull-Type With Rear Axle” on page 44
3-Point With Beam Arms
The following instructions are for leveling and setting the
cutting height of 3-point mounted cutters with tailwheels
mounted on beam arms. There are four primary
adjustments that should be made prior to actual field
operations:
•
Level Left To Right
•
Cutting Height Adjustment
•
Level Front To Back
•
Center Link Adjustment
Proper adjustment of each of these items will provide
higher efficiency, improved cutting performance and
longer blade life.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Always shut tractor down using “Tractor Shutdown
Procedure” provided in this manual before dismounting
tractor.
Level Left To Right
Refer to Figure 3-2:
The Rotary Cutter must operate level from side to side at
all times. Make certain gauge wheels are adjusted to
identical heights before adjusting lower 3-point lift arms.
1. Locate tractor and cutter on a flat level surface.
2. Use tractor’s hydraulic 3-point control lever to lower
cutter until tailwheels make contact with ground.
3. Place a spirit level or other suitable leveling device
across the front of the deck.

Some tractors have only a single adjustable lift arm.
Cutting Height Adjustment
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Avoid direct contact with cutter blades by wearing a pair of
gloves. Cutter blades have sharp edges and burrs that can
cause injuries.
Refer to Figure 3-3:
1. With gloves on, carefully rotate blade tips on one side
of the cutter to the position shown.
2. Measure distance from cutting tip of front blade to
ground surface. This distance is the cutting height.
3. Using tractor’s 3-point hydraulic control lever, raise or
lower the 3-point arms until the front blade tip is at the
desired cutting height.

Spirit Level
IMPORTANT: The front blade tip should be lower than
rear blade tip by approximately 1". The cutter is
subject to continuous material flow under the deck if
the rear blade is at the same height or lower than the
front blade causing horsepower loss, grass clumps,
blade wear, and frequent blade sharpening.
