Under certain conditions, tractor tires may roll some material down and prevent it from being cut at the same height as the surrounding area. When this occurs, reduce tractor ground speed but maintain 540 rpm PTO speed. The lower speed will permit material to at least partially rebound.
Under some conditions, material will not rebound enough to be cut evenly, resulting in an uneven appearance. In general, lower cutting heights give a more even cut with less tendency to leave tire tracks.
The cutter is equipped with general purpose suction blades as standard equipment. These blades are intended for most conditions.
Optional flat blades for light brush cutting and optional high fin blades for stalk shredding are available from your dealer.
Tips
Extremely tall material should be cut twice. Cut mate- rial higher the first pass. Then cut at desired height, at 90° to first pass.
Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and require less power.
Analyze area to be cut to determine best procedure. Consider height and type of material and terrain type: hilly, level or rough.
Plan your pattern to travel straight forward whenever possible.
WARNING
Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or other hard objects that might be thrown, causing injury or damage.
Uneven Terrain
WARNING
Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
Do not stop, start, or change directions sud- denly on slopes.
Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on slopes and rough terrain.
Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during operation.
Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent hanging up tractor and cutter.
Practice will improve your skills in maneuvering rough terrain.
STORAGE
Follow these steps when storing your cutter:
1.Store on level, solid ground.
2.Disconnect driveline and secure up off the ground.
3.On
4.Securely block all four corners of deck with jack stands.
5.Remove hydraulic hoses after tractor is turned off and all system pressure is released by operating valve levers several times.
6.Remove retainer pin and high strength drawbar pin.
7.Keep children and bystanders away from storage area.
