Tractor Hook-Up

Refer to Figure 1-3:

!DANGER

Tractor hook-up to equipment is dangerous and can result in serious injury or death. Do not allow anyone to stand between Rotary Cutter and tractor during hook-up operations. Do not operate hydraulic 3-point lift controls while someone is directly behind tractor or near the cutter.

A3-Point Category I hitch is required. The lower 3-Point arms of the 3-Point hitch must be stabilized to prevent side-to-side movement. Most tractors have sway blocks or adjustable chains for this purpose.

1.Locate cutter on a flat level surface.

2.Slowly back tractor up to the Rotary Cutter while using the tractor’s 3-point hydraulic control to align lower 3-point arm holes with clevis lug holes on the cutter.

3.Engage tractor park brake, shut tractor engine off and remove key before dismounting from tractor.

4.With tractor’s lower hitch arms aligned and positioned in the clevises, attach lower arms to the clevises with hitch pins and secure with linch pins.

5.Connect top center 3-point link to upper pivot hitch using customer supplied clevis pin and linch pin.

6.Ensure that the lower hitch arms are blocked to prevent excessive side movement.

7.Return to the tractor and slowly raise and lower implement carefully to ensure that the drawbar, tires, and other equipment on the tractor do not contact cutter frame. Move or remove drawbar if it interferes with the cutter.

8.Manually adjust one of the two lower lift arms up or down to level the Rotary Cutter from left to right.

9.Manually adjust the length of the top-link to level the Rotary Cutter from front to rear. Final deck leveling adjustments will be made later.

10.The arm lift rods on your tractor’s 3- point hitch should be adjusted to allow for lateral float. Please consult you tractor’s manual for adjusting instructions.
