INTRODUCTION

These mowers are available in lift, pull, semi-mount, or hydraulically offset semi-mount type hitch configurations. These rugged Mowers are designed for medium-duty work. They can mow pastures, cut brush up to 2" in diameter, and control grass and weeds on highways or industrial sites.

For Non-Agricultural use, OSHA, ASAE, SAE, and ANSI standards require the use of Chain Guards, Deflectors, or Solid Skirts at all times. The Mower manufacturer strongly recommends the use of Chain Guards or Rubber Deflectors for Agricultural purposes as well, to reduce the risk of property damage, serious bodily injury, or even death from objects thrown out by or from contact with the Cutting Blades.

The 8' Lift Type machine requires a minimum of 50 HP with adequate front end weight.

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