Cutting Height Adjustment
Figure 2-5
Adjust Cutter Height
Refer to Cutting Height Adjustment Figure 2-5:
1. At the cutting site, unfold wings and raise center deck
fully up with lift cylinder.
2. Without relieving hydraulics, shut tractor down
properly before dismounting. Refer to
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Stay clear from underneath the cutter and directly behind
transport tires. The cutter could fall suddenly causing the
decks to lower and tires to roll back.
3. Open all flip spacers (#2) on lift cylinder (#1).
4. Start tractor and engage blades. See
on page 37 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 to 15 meters).
6. Without relieving hydraulics, shut tractor down
properly before dismounting. Refer to
70497
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.
IMPORTANT:
Whether engaging or disengaging
stroke control flip spacers, take time to ensure they
are in the open or fully closed position. Flip spacers
not in the fully closed or fully open position can
cause damage to the lift cylinder and/or flip spacers.
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 4-7 until desired cutting height is
achieved.
8. Count the required number of flip spacers (#2) to
meet desired cutting height.
9. Return to tractor and raise Rotary Cutter up again.
10. Without lowering the cutter, shut tractor down
properly before dismounting. Refer to
11. With tractor shut off and switch key removed, install
selected stroke control spacers on the center
hydraulic lift cylinder rod.
12. Restart tractor and lower cutter against stroke control
spacers.
13. Recheck cutting height using steps 4-7 above. If
needed, adjust size and quantity of stroke control
spacers until desired cutting height is achieved.
14. Keep remaining spacers with tractor for field
adjustments.
LP Performance Hitch Hole Size
Refer to Figure 2-6:
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).

Opening flip spacers lowers cutting height
and closing flip spacers raises cutting height.
