Deck Level Adjustments

Deck level adjustments should be made on a level surface large enough to be level under the tractor and deck with parallel arms fully extended.

Cutter Without Gauge Wheels

Refer to Figure 2-3:

1.Raise tractor 3-Point hitch until PTO driveline is approximately level.

2.Adjust arm cylinders so that the parallel arms are approximately 3/4 extended and deck cylinder so that the deck is 3 to 4 inches off the ground.

3.Continue adjusting deck cylinder until deck is level from left to right.

4.Extend “ARM 1” cylinder until skid shoes are 2 to 3 inches off the ground.

5.Place a level on the cutter deck to read forward/aft attitude.

6.Adjust center 3-Point top-link so that the front of the cutter deck is slightly lower than the rear by approximately 1/2".

Cutter With Gauge Wheels

Refer to Figure 1-20 on page 24 & Figure 2-3:

1.Make certain tractor control levers are set to center detent position and if available, Float Switch on the control stick is turned “OFF”.

2.Raise tractor 3-Point hitch until PTO driveline is approximately level.

3.Adjust arm cylinders so that the parallel arms are approximately 3/4 extended and deck cylinder so that the gauge wheels are 3 to 4 inches off the ground.

4.Continue adjusting deck cylinder until deck is level from left to right.

5.Extend “ARM 1" cylinder until gauge wheels are 1 to 2 inches off the ground.

6.Place a level on the cutter deck to read forward/aft attitude.

IMPORTANT: Gauge wheels should not touch ground while adjusting the center 3-pint link. If needed, retract “ARM 1" sightly to raise gauge wheels off the ground.

7.(See Figure 2-3)Adjust center 3-Point link (#3) so that the front of the cutter deck is slightly lower than the rear by 1/2".

8.Adjust front gauge wheels to the approximate cutting height (Vertical distance from bottom of front gauge wheels to tip of front cutting blade).

9.Adjust rear gauge wheel to be the same distance off the ground as the front gauge wheels.

10.Switch “ARM 2” and “DECK” cylinders to float position. This will allow the cutter deck to be supported by the gauge wheels.

a.Solenoid controlled cylinders:

Change Float Switch from “OFF” to “ON”.

b.Tractor controlled levers:

Place “ARM 2” and “DECK” control levers in float position.

11.Recheck deck height at the front and rear. Make final adjustments to level the deck by changing the rear gauge wheel height until the deck rear is 1/2" higher than the deck front.

NOTE: Nominal cutting height is the distance from tip of front cutting blade to ground level.

12.Change nominal cutting height by raising or lowering the front and rear gauge wheels equally until the blade at the front is set at the correct height.

13.Recheck deck height at the front and rear. If needed, adjust rear gauge wheel until deck rear is 1/2" higher than deck front.
