Attach Tractor to Rotary Cutter

DANGER

A Crushing Hazard exists when hooking-up equipment to a

tractor. Do not allow anyone to stand between tractor and

implement while backing-up to implement. Do not operate

hydraulic 3-Point lift controls while someone is directly

behind the tractor or near the implement.

Refer to Figure 1-8:

1. Make certain parking jack (#3) is properly attached

to cutter and secured with attachment pin (#8).

2. Back tractor within close proximity of cutter hitch.

3. Raise or lower parking jack (#3) to align hitch (#10)

with bolt hole in swivel clevis (#9).

4. Back tractor up to swivel clevis (#9) until hole in

swivel clevis aligns with holes in clevis hitch (#9).

5. Insert 1"-8 x 6 1/2" GR5 hex bolt (#1) through swivel

clevis (#9) and hitch swivel (#10). Secure hex bolt

with hex flange lock nut (#2). Tighten lock nut snugly

to remove all play. Do Not torque hex flange lock nut.

6. Lower parking jack (#3) until hitch weight is

supported by drawbar.

7. Remove parking jack (#3) from hitch and attach it to

the left-hand wing deck storage base with

attachment pin (#8). Make sure the base is level with

or lower than the head especially after the wings are

folded up. See cover picture for correct positioning.

IMPORTANT: Jack attachment pin must be fully

inserted and secured before working on or around a

cutter not hooked to the tractor drawbar.

IMPORTANT: Protect parking jack by storing it on

the left wing deck before moving the cutter. Make

sure the jack is stored with its base level or lower

than the head to prevent water and freeze damage.

8. Attach hitch safety chain (#4) to the tractor. Adjust

chain length to remove all slack except what is

necessary to permit turning. Securely lock chain

hook to the safety chain.
