Bush Hog 300 manual Introduction

INTRODUCTION

The 300 Series Blade is available in widths of 12' and 14' and features a massive CAT III-IV three-point hitch and quick-hitch. The 14' model is rated for up to 250 draw bar horsepower wheel-type tractors. Hydraulic adjustment of the mainframe swing, moldboard angle, and moldboard tilt is standard for easy and fast adjustments. The 300 Series features a maximum of 50" of offset to easily reach outside the dual wheels of large tractors. The 5" diameter solid steel kingpin, boxed-section, reinforced 1/2” x 20" moldboard, and heavy- duty hitch and mainframe provide the dependability Bush Hog blades are known for. Skid shoes, quick-tach end plates, and dual gauge wheels are optional equipment adding to the versatility of the 300 Series blade.

At least 20% or the tractor’s weight must be on the front tires with the implement lifted to provide adequate traction for safe steering under good conditions. Slow down on hills, rough terrain, and curves.

Front and rear, and left and right are determined by the normal direction of travel (the same as on your automobile).
