Section 2: Adjustments

Leveling Procedure

There are 4 primary adjustments that should be made

prior to actual field operations:

•

Deck leveling from left to right

•

Tractor top link length

•

Tractor lower link height

•

Tailwheel height

Proper adjustment of each of these items will provide for

higher efficiency, improved cutting performance and

longer blade life. The following tools will be needed:

•

Pliable tape measure

•

Carpenters level

•

3/4” Open end or hex end wrench or socket set

•

Protective gloves

Deck Leveling From Left to Right

Refer to Figure 2-1:

1. Locate tractor and Rotary Cutter on a flat, level

surface.

2. Use tractor’s hydraulic 3-point control to lower cutter

until tailwheel contacts ground surface.

DANGER

Engage parking brake, disengage PTO, shut off tractor and

remove key before proceeding. Ensure that all moving parts

have come to a complete stop before dismounting from tractor.

3. Place a Carpenters level or other suitable leveling

device on the front of the cutter deck. Adjust either one

or both of the tractors 3-point lower link height

adjustments to level the deck from left to right. Some

tractors have only a single adjusting crank.

DANGER

Engage parking brake, disengage PTO, shut off tractor and

remove key before proceeding. Ensure that all moving parts

have come to a complete stop before dismounting from tractor.

Refer to

Figure 2-1:

Place a Carpenters level on one of the main deck

channels. Using the tractor’s 3-point hydraulic

control lever, raise or lower the 3-point arms until the

deck is slightly lower at the front (approximately 1”

lower) than at the back.

The top center link should be loose when deck rear is

supported by the tail wheel. If not, lengthen center

link until loose. Final adjustment will be made later.

Refer to

Figure 2-5 on page 19:

With gloves on, carefully rotate each blade to the

position shown in Figure 2-5 on page 19.

At the front of the

cutter

, measure the distance from

blade cutting tip to ground surface. This distance is

known as the “Nominal Cutting Height”.

The tail wheel will need adjusting if nominal cutting

height is not at the preferred cutting height. Adjust

tailwheel per instructions on page 19.

Repeat steps 1 to 5 until preferred cutting height is

achieved.

Set stop on tractor lift quadrant so

cutter

can be

returned to the same height.
