Table of Contents

There are 4 primary adjustments that should be made pri- or to actual ﬁeld operations:

a.Deck level from left to right

b.Tractor top link length

c.Tractor lower link height

d.Tailwheel height

Proper adjustment of each of these items will provide for higher efﬁciency, improved cutting performance and long- er blade life. The following tools will be needed:

a.Pliable tape measure

b.Spirit or carpenters level

c.Open end or hex end wrench or socket set

d.Protective gloves

Having completed 3-Point Tractor Hookup in the “Assem- bly and Setup” section on page 10 locate the tractor on a ﬂat level surface.

1.Use the tractor’s hydraulic 3-point control to lower the cutter until the tailwheel contacts ground surface.

2.Place a spirit level or other suitable leveling device on the front of the cutter deck as shown in Figure 3-1. Ad- just either one or both of the tractors lower link height adjustments to level the deck from left to right. Some tractors have only a single adjusting crank.

3.Similarly, place a level on either of the main deck channels. Use the tractors 3-point hydraulic control to level the cutter deck from front to rear.

4.With cutter in cutting position, adjust tractor lop link until upper hitch pin is aligned vertically with lower hitch pins, see Figure 3-2. Position "A" is for standard category hitch tractors and position "B" is for smaller horsepower rated tractors without adequate ground clearance when cutter is raised for transport.
