Driveline Interference Check

1.Check for clearance between driveline and cutter deck.

2.With driveline properly attached to tractor and gearbox, slowly lift cutter and observe driveline. If clearance between driveline and cutter deck is less than 1 inch, shorten top link or limit upper travel of lower hitch arms. Refer to tractor operator's manual for instructions.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Mounted Units

To adjust cutter for normal mowing, select a cutting height (example: 4 inches). Blades are approximately 1-3/4" above bottom of cutter. Dimension A plus 1-3/4" equals the cutting height.

Adjust the tractor 3-point hitch to a distance of 2-1/4" at position A to obtain a 4" cutting height. See Figure 8.

Using any of the optional height adjustment devices, raise or lower the tailwheel to obtain 2-1/2 to 2-3/4 inches at position B.

Adjust top link to provide 1-1/4 inches of clearance between the break link (2) and the rear of the lift links. See Figure 8. This clearance will allow the cutter to float over uneven terrain.

Figure 8. Cutting Height Adjustment

Pull-Type Units

On pull-type units with optional hydraulic cut- ting height adjustment, use a single-acting cylinder with a maximum extended length of 28-1/4" (718 mm) from attaching point center to center.

Cutting height range is from 2" to 13". A hydraulic cylin- der or ratchet jack is available for cutting height adjust- ment.

When selecting a cutting height, you should consider the area of operation. If the ground is rolling and has mounds the blades could contact, set the cutting height accordingly.

NOTICE

■Avoid ground contact with blades. Striking ground with blades produces one of the most dam- aging shock loads a cutter can encounter. If this occurs repeatedly, the cutter, driveline, and gear- boxes will be damaged.

To adjust cutter for normal mowing, select a cutting height (example: 4 inches). Blades are approximately 1-3/4" above bottom of cutter. Dimension A plus 1-3/4" equals the cutting height.

Using any of the optional cutting height mechanisms, raise or lower the tailwheel and set dimension A to 2- 1/4" to achieve a 4" cutting height.

Loosen the jam nut on the attitude rod that runs from the tongue to the tailwheel. Adjust rod in or out until dimension B is approximately 1/2 inch more than dimension A. Refer to Figure 8.

TS1680, TS1680Q specifications

Woods Equipment has long been a prominent name in the agricultural and landscaping sectors, and its TS1680Q and TS1680 models further cement this reputation. Designed for versatility and reliability, both models shine in various applications, ranging from mowing to maintaining landscapes.

One of the standout features of the Woods TS1680Q and TS1680 is their robust build quality. Crafted with heavy-duty materials, these models are engineered to withstand the rigors of tough terrain and demanding workloads. The TS1680Q, being the quieter variant, employs advanced sound-dampening technologies, ensuring that operators can work without the disruptive noise typical of many competitors.

With a cutting width of 68 inches, both models are designed for efficiency. The wide cutting deck not only allows operators to cover more ground quickly but also ensures a clean and even cut on various grass types. The TS1680Q further enhances mowing precision with its unique floating deck design. This feature enables the cutting deck to follow ground contours, reducing scalping on uneven surfaces.

Another notable characteristic is the versatility of attachment options. Both models come equipped with a category 1 three-point hitch which allows for easy attachment of numerous implements. This adaptability means operators can use the TS1680Q and TS1680 for other tasks, such as tilling or hauling, making it a multi-functional powerhouse for any farm or landscape project.

The hydraulic system on these models is engineered for high performance. With user-friendly controls and responsive feedback, operators can adjust settings with ease. Combined with a powerful engine, the TS1680Q and TS1680 offer reliable performance and energy efficiency, contributing to reduced fuel expenditure in the long run.

Safety features are also a priority, with shields and guards designed to protect operators during use. The controls are ergonomically situated to minimize potential hazards. Additionally, the low center of gravity design ensures stable operation, reducing the risk of tipping especially while working on inclines.

In conclusion, the Woods Equipment TS1680Q and TS1680 models are designed with the modern user in mind. Their blend of durability, innovative technology, and operational versatility makes them a top choice for both agricultural use and landscaping projects. Whether you're a farmer looking for reliable mowing solutions or a landscaper in need of a versatile implement, these models deliver exceptional performance and value.
