Tractor PTO
Tractors must be equipped with a power take off (PTO) shaft that must run at 450 rpm
during operation. The PTO shaft should run clockwise when viewed from the rear of the
tractor and ideally be of a 1⅜” S.A.E. – 6 spline shaft type to enable a standard PTO shaft
to be connected.
Ballast
The tractor should have counterbalance weights (on approved mountings) fitted if
necessary and/or ballasted wheels to ensure stability of the unit at all times.
Stability may be further increased with a wider track setting on the tractors rear wheels –
contact your local dealer or tractor agent for specific advice on this subject.
Four wheel drive tractors have extra weight inbuilt plus larger front wheels, this is an
advantage in keeping the unit stable.
Tractor/Operator Guarding
Use a tractor fitted with ‘safety glass’ windows wherever possible and fit an operator
safety guard
(Part No. 7313324) using the hooks provided; shape the safety protection
material so that all vulnerable areas are covered - remember the driver must be looking
through safety protection when the flail head is working in any position.
If the windows are not laminated safety glass polycarbonate glazing must also be fitted.
If the tractor has a roll bar only, a frame must be made to carry both mesh and
polycarbonate glazing.
Ensure the operator is guarded by safety protection whatever position the machine is in
and that the protection is such that it does not interfere with tractor and machine functions
or obstruct the operator’s vision.
