Operate Safely

Mower-Thrown Objects (continued)

Disc Mowers — When using a disc mower it is important to know the area to be mowed. If the operator has mowed the field before and is familiar with all obstacles that may be present, it is sufficient to watch ahead of the mower path for any additional objects that may have entered the field. Be ready to stop or avoid any objects that could be hazardous if thrown by the mower. If you plan to mow an unfamiliar field and it is next to a traveled road or people may be within 100

ft (30 m) of the mower you must inspect, and clean or mark the field.

Mowing In Reverse

Do not mow while traveling in reverse. Objects are more likely to be thrown and can travel further.

Shut off the PTO, wait for the blades to stop turning, raise the mower, and then back up.

Mow traveling in the forward direction.

Do Not Mow

in Reverse

Use Proper

Ground Speed

Mowing Ground Speed

Proper ground speed depends on terrain conditions and grass type, density and height to be cut:

—Normal ground speed range is 2 to 5 mph.

—Use slower ground speed for mowing tall, dense grass.

—Use faster ground speed for mowing medium height, thin grass and under smooth terrain conditions.

—Use slower ground speed for mowing in rough, sloping or unfamiliar terrain.

Disc mowers are designed to use faster ground speeds for operating in fields clear of debris and surface hazards.

Operate Safely

Extremely Tall Grass Mowing

You may need to mow extremely tall, non-crop grass twice. (See page 13, Mower-Thrown Objects.)

First mowing pass:

—Shut the mower and tractor down using proper equipment shut down practice before dismounting tractor. (See page 18, Proper Equipment Shut Down Practices.)

—Inspect the area and remove or mark debris and obstacles.

—Cut grass higher (10-15 inches) to avoid hidden objects.

Second mowing pass:

—Shut the mower and tractor down using proper equipment shut down practice before dismounting tractor.

—Inspect the area and remove or mark debris and obstacles.

—Cut grass at desired height and, when possible, 90 degrees to the first mowing pass.

Stop Blade

Before

Unclogging

Provide Adequate

Clearance for

Mower Swing

Watch Equipment Clearances

Three-point hitch and side-mounted mowers have a larger turning arc than pull-type mowers. Allow sufficient clearance for mower swing while turning.

Do not allow bystanders near the tractor and mower when moving or transporting the tractor and mower.
