ALL MODELS

FILL GEARBOXES

NOTICE

Gearbox is not filled at the factory. Prior to delivery to customer, make sure gearbox is filled only half-full with 80W or 90W API GL-4 or GL-5 gear lube. Use side plug to remove any excess oil.

Side Gearboxes

1.Make sure vent plug hole is clear (installed by dealer).

2.Remove plug on side of gearbox

3.Fill gearbox until oil runs out the side plug on gearbox. Use a high quality gear oil with a viscosity index of 80W or 90W and an API service rating of GL-4 or GL-5.

4.Install side plug and vent plug.

Center Gearbox

1.Make sure dipstick vent hole is clear.

2.Fill gearbox until oil level is between rings with dipstick seated. Use a high quality gear oil with a viscosity index of 80W or 90W and an API service rating of GL-4 or GL-5.

3.Install dipstick.

INSTALL CHAIN SHIELDING (OPTIONAL)

Full chain shielding must be installed when operating in populated areas or other areas where thrown objects could injure people or damage property.

If this machine is not equipped with full chain shielding, operation must be stopped when any- one comes within 300 feet (92 m).

This shielding is designed to reduce the risk of thrown objects. The mower deck and protec- tive devices cannot prevent all objects from escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing condition. It is possible for objects to ricochet and escape, traveling as much as 300 feet (92 m).

Full chain shielding is required for all non-agri- cultural mowing. Full shielding is also recom- mended for all agricultural use to further reduce the risk of thrown objects.

The chain shield assemblies are ready for installation when you receive them.

Install front and rear chain shielding as shown using carriage bolts (9) and lock nuts (10).

9. 3/8 NC x 1-1/4 Carriage bolt

10. 3/8 NC Flange lock nut

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.
