TS1680 MOUNTED CUTTER (FIGURE 30)

Place jackstands under cutter to raise it off the ground to provide clearance when assembling cutter. See “BLOCKING METHOD” on page 21 for jackstand placement.

Install A-Frame

1.Attach A-frame weldment (3) to the lower (square) hole of the cutter mast plates. Secure using carriage bolts (26), bushing sleeves (17), washers

(25)and lock nuts (24).

2.Remove two lock nuts (22) from rear of cutter. Slide washer (34), rear A-frame bar (2) and second washer (34) over bolt and re-attach with lock nuts

(22).

3.Attach the two rear A-frame bars (2) together at the top rear hole using cap screw (33), spacer sleeve

(9)and lock nut (24).

4.Place both break links (7) together and position between front holes of rear A-frame bars. Secure rear A-frame bars and break links together using cap screw (33), spacer sleeve (9) and lock nut

(24).

NOTE: Break links must rest on top of rear spacer sleeve (9).

5.Place spacer sleeve (8) through front holes of break links. Align break links with rear holes of A- frame weldment (3) and secure together using cap screw (30), sleeve (6) and lock nut (31).

Install Tailwheel Arms

Attach tailwheel arms (1) to tailwheel using eight (four per arm) cap screws (20) and lock nuts (21).

NOTE: Position tailwheel arms on tailwheel to desired location (usually on row crop centers).

Install Height Adjustment Device

Ratchet

1.Place one end of ratchet (16) between lugs on deck and secure with pin (18) and cotter pins (32).

2.Attach opposite end of ratchet (16) between lugs (Position B) on tailwheel and secure with pin (42) and two cotter pins (32).

Cylinder

1.Place base end of hydraulic cylinder (12) between lugs on deck and secure with pin (18) and cotter pins (32).

2.Place hydraulic cylinder (12) between lugs (Position B) on tailwheel.

3.Extend cylinder rod, place transport lock bracket

(11)over cylinder rod end and between lugs on tailwheel.

4.Align holes of cylinder rod, transport lock bracket and lugs on tailwheel. Secure assembly using pin

(42)and cotter pins (32).

Install Hydraulic Hoses

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

NOTICE

■If using a cylinder other than the one supplied by Woods, make sure a breather fitting is installed in the cylinder rod end port. Use a restricter fitting in the base end port to dampen the cutter lowering action.

NOTE: Mounted units must use a double-acting cylinder to prevent damage to tailwheels during transport.

1.Connect hoses (15) to elbows (14).

2.Install reducer bushing (13) and restricter swivel elbow (14) in port at each end of cylinder (12). Position elbows to point toward front of cutter.

3.Install optional stroke control kit (19) to cylinder rod. Stroke control kit is used to set cut height.

Install Driveline

1.Coat input shaft of gearbox with a light coating of grease.

2.Attach slip clutch on driveline (5) to input shaft of gearbox. Tighten cap screws (28) and lock nuts (29).

3.Attach rear tether chain of driveline to driveline shield.

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.
