The standard Parallel Arm Cutter is equipped with three (3) remote cylinders to operate the parallel arms and the cutter deck. These cylinders are connected

directly to the tractor's remote duplex outlets and controlled by the tractor operator. Each cylinder requires a single duplex outlet on the tractor. See Figure 3-1.

An optional electric cylinder control provides for toggle switch operation of each cylinder. Response time is much faster than with tractor controls and this option is recommended where frequent changes are

necessary because of terrain or cutting conditions. Ditches and embankments are typical examples. The electric cylinder control option can be easily added as a field installation kit. See Figure 3-2.
