6. LINKAGE EXTENSION
Safety: Ensure tractor and machine is stopped & keys out of ignition before set-up/maintenance.
Some tractors with shorter lower linkage arms or larger rear tyres may find that attaching the finishing
mower causes the tractor wheels to touch the mower wheels. In these cases linkage extensions can be
supplied to prevent the problem.
The lower linkage extenders A can be attached or detached as required. These are simply bolted to the
A frame bracket on the mower. The lower linkage pins can be moved between the extension brackets
and mower as needed.
The mower also has a floating top linkage B. This is not fixed into place which allows the mower to
remain on all wheels over any bumps or contours in the ground.
Lift the floating linkage B by hand and attach to the tractor as you would with a fixed top linkage point.
Adjust the tractor’s top linkage arm so the linkage is secure.
Always take extra care if lifting the tractor’s 3 point linkage when the mower is attached. As the
floating top linkage is not rigid the mower is likely to be unstable. Use a fixed point for any lifting.
