Leveling Procedure

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, the " Tractor Hookup", locate the tractor on a flat, level surface.

Lift-Type Cutter

1.Use the tractors 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.Adjust the length of the tractors top link such that the pivoting upper hitch is aligned vertically with the lower hitch pins. See Figure 3-2.
