Shortening Driveline

NOTICE

If attaching with quick hitch, the distance between the tractor PTO and gearbox input shaft will increase. Please follow the steps as you would for a 3-point hitch to insure proper engagement.

1.Move cutter up and down to get the shortest possible distance between tractor PTO shaft and gearbox input shaft.

2.Separate driveline into two halves and connect them to the tractor PTO and gearbox.

3.Place driveline halves parallel to one another to determine how much to shorten the driveline.
