Use the upper top link hole for Category III and the lower hole for Category II as shown in Figure 3.
For easier attachment, use a quick hitch. If not using a quick hitch, use optional hitch extension.
4.Hydraulic Requirements when Using Center Cutter Options
The tractor hydraulic system must be capable of 8 gpm (30 lpm) at 1500 psi (10,335 kPa). Either
5. Load Sensing Hydraulics (3-Point Models Only)
Many newer tractors are equipped with “load sensing” hydraulics. The operator is responsible for setting the tractor hydraulic system to provide “float” on the
The “float” feature will allow the unit to follow the ground contours during operation. This applies to 3- point mounted machines only.
6. Drawbar (Pull-Type Models Only)
The tractor drawbar must be set to provide 16" (406
mm)on
NOTICE
■Do not use PTO shaft adapters. They will change the drawbar dimension and can cause driv- eline failures.

PTO Driveline Length
(3-Point & 2-Point Models Only)
The unit is equipped with a PTO driveline long enough to fit any tractor and
The operator is responsible for measuring the dimen- sions of the driveline through its working range. These dimensions will indicate if the driveline requires short- ing to operate on the particular tractor/unit attachment system. The operator must check dimensions before using the unit for the first time and each time a different tractor is used with the unit.
Use the following procedure when determining drive- line dimension:
