3-point Pin Set-up

Refer to Figure 2-1:

The 3-point pins in the mower may be arranged four different ways to accommodate different tractor sizes. The first 3-point offset arrangement shown below positions the first cutter blade closest to the tractor. Each arrangement thereafter is further away. Select a pin arrangement that will allow the first cutter blade to extend beyond the tractor’s back right wheel far enough to cut a full mower swath without the tractor’s wheel running over material being cut.
