1. Thoroughly inspect area to be cut for debris and
unforeseen objects. Mark any potential hazards.
2. Follow “Blade Engagement” instructions on this
page to start cutter blades turning.
3. Optimum ground speed depends on density of
material being cut, horsepower rating of tractor, and
terrain. Always operate tractor at cutter’s full rated
power take-off speed in a gear range that allows the
cutter to make a smooth cut without lugging tractor
down, usually between 2 to 5 mph.
4. Stop traveling and disengage power take-off after the
first 50 feet of cutting. Check cutter levelness and
cutting height to make certain it is adjusted properly.
5. Do not engage power take-off with 3-point cutter fully
raised.
6. Periodically disengage power take-off, shut down
tractor, remove key, and check for foreign objects
wrapped around the blade spindle. Block cutter deck
up before removing objects.
7. Frequently inspect cutter for loose bolts and nuts.
Tighten all loose bolts and nuts as indicated in the
“Torque Values Chart”
on page 50.
8. For additional information, see “General Operating
Instructions”
on page 34.
Turning Angles for Pull-Type Cutters
Refer to Figure 4-1 & Figure 4-2:
Avoid tractor-to-cutter turning angles exceeding 35
degrees if main driveline is a standard conventional drive
shaft. The turning angle may be increased to 80 degrees
if equipped with a constant velocity driveline shaft. These
extreme angles are intended for intermittent usage only
and not prolonged usage. Plan your field cutting to
minimize the number of turns as well as extreme angles
where turns are necessary.

WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Damage to the tractor’s power take-off and/or driveline can
cause driveline to come loose and cause bodily injury to the
operator and others.
Crossing Steep Ditches and Banks
Figure 4-3
Cutting over ditches and backing up hills can tilt the
cutter’s back side up excessively resulting in “
Bottoming
Out ” the driveline. Bottoming out is when the driveline
shaft has shorten to the point it is pressing against the
gearbox and tractor power take-off shafts. Once a
driveline has bottomed out, it can not be shorten anymore
without causing serious damage to the tractor power
take-off components, cutter gearbox and driveline.
Do not operate a pull-type cutter at an angle exceeding
25 degrees up or down or at any angle that will force the
driveline to bind and/or hit the tractor drawbar.
IMPORTANT:
Always cross ditches and banks at a
diagonal. Never cross straight across and never
back into a ditch or bank.
