OPERATION

6.2 Setting Mowing Height - Pull Type and Semi-Mount Type Mowers

1.Park the tractor and mower on level ground.

2.Using the ratchet jack or hydraulic cylinder, position the mower so the skid shoes are 1” less off the ground than the desired final cut height. For example, if a 3” cut is desired, raise or lower the mower until the skid shoes are 2” off the ground. If a hydraulic cylinder is used, stroke control spacers can be placed on the hydraulic shaft to maintain a set cutting height each time the mower is raised and lowered.

3.Adjust the mower leveling rod so that the front of the mower is approximately 3/4” lower than the rear. For semi mount units raise or lower 3- point lower links to set height of front of mower 3/4“lower than rear.

4.If the mower is attached to a 3-point hitch drawbar, adjust any tractor equipped lower link check chains, guide blocks, or sway blocks to prevent the hitch and mower from swaying from side to side. Never raise the 3-point lift with the mower attached as catastrophic driveline damage will occur.
