Tractor Hook-Up

Refer to Figure 1-3:

DANGER

Tractor hook-up to equipment is dangerous and can result in

serious injury or death. Do not allow anyone to stand between

Rotary Cutter and tractor during hook-up operations. Do not

operate hydraulic 3-point lift controls while someone is

directly behind tractor or near the cutter.

A 3-Point Category I hitch is required. The lower 3-Point

arms of the 3-Point hitch must be stabilized to prevent

side-to-side movement. Most tractors have sway blocks

or adjustable chains for this purpose.

1. Locate cutter on a flat level surface.

2. Slowly back tractor up to the Rotary Cutter while

using the tractor’s 3-point hydraulic control to align

lower 3-point arm holes with clevis lug holes on the

cutter.

3. Engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off

and remove key before dismounting from tractor.

4. With tractor’s lower hitch arms aligned and

positioned in the clevises, attach lower arms to the

clevises with hitch pins and secure with linch pins.

5. Connect top center 3-point link to upper pivot hitch

using customer supplied clevis pin and linch pin.

6. Ensure that the lower hitch arms are blocked to

prevent excessive side movement.

7. Return to the tractor and slowly raise and lower

implement carefully to ensure that the drawbar, tires,

and other equipment on the tractor do not contact

cutter frame. Move or remove drawbar if it interferes

with the cutter.

8. Manually adjust one of the two lower lift arms up or

down to level the Rotary Cutter from left to right.

9. Manually adjust the length of the top-link to level the

Rotary Cutter from front to rear. Final deck leveling

adjustments will be made later.

10. The arm lift rods on your tractor’s 3- point hitch

should be adjusted to allow for lateral float. Please

consult you tractor’s manual for adjusting

instructions.
