OPERATION

2.3 Tractor Horsepower

The power required to operate a cutter is determined by the tractor PTO horsepower. For most cutting conditions, the LJ60 and LJ72 require a tractor with 50 and 90 HP, respectively. Operating the cutter with a tractor that does not have adequate power may damage the tractor engine. Exceeding 125 HP may cause cutter damage by overpowering the unit in heavy cutting conditions.

OPERATION

2.4 3-Point Hitch

Lumberjack cutters are considerably heavier than conventional rotary mowers of the same size. The tractor 3-point hitch must be rated to lift at least 1650 lbs. if attaching a LJ60 and 2500 lbs. if attaching a LJ72.

The LJ60 attaches to tractors with a Cat II 3-point hitch and the LJ72 either a Cat II or III hitch. Refer to the tractor owner’s manual for the category of the tractor used. If the hitch does not conform to the ASAE Cat II or III hitch dimensions, the cutter may not fit properly. Consult an authorized dealer for possible modification procedures to mount nonconforming hitches.

Use the correct hitch pins for the hitch category being used. For a Cat II hitch, 1-1/8” lower and 1” upper diameter hitch pins are used and Cat III hitches require 1-7/16” lower and 1-1/4” upper diameter hitch pins.

2.5 Front End Weight

A minimum of 20% total tractor weight must be maintained on the tractor front end when the cutter is in the raised position. Proper weight on the tractor front end is critical to maintain steering control and to prevent the tractor from rearing up while driving. If the tractor front end is too light, add weight until a minimum of 20% total weight is reached on the front tires. Front weights and weight carriers can be purchased through an authorized tractor dealership.
