10.3 Operating the Attached Head
Objects tend to be thrown out from under the
head in the direction of blade rotation and
toward the raised edge of the shroud. Avoid
cutting with the head tilted at an angle that
objects would be thrown towards the tractor
operator position.
When clearing brush and small trees,
operate tractor at 1 mph ground speed and
position cutter head at an angle that will cut
2’ to 3’ into the growth. Make the first pass
just above ground level. This will remove the
low branches and allow operator a better
view of the material to plan for the next pass.
After repeated passes, each elevated
approximately 4’ above the last, the main
trunks of the trees will be exposed and they
can be cut as desired. This avoids clogging
the head with cut and mulched material.
When operating near the ground or when
mulching be particularly careful that there
are no bystanders or animals with a 100
yards. Debris tends to fly out at great speed
and can injure or even cause death.
Do not exceed the rated PTO speed for the Implement.  Excessive PTO speeds can cause
Implement driveline or blade failures resulting in serious injury or death. 
   (SG-26)
Mow at  the speed  that you can safely operate and control  the  tractor and mower. The
correct mowing speed depends on terrain condition and grass type, density, and height of
cut.   Normal ground speed range is from 2 to 5 mph(3-8 kph).   Use  slow mowing speeds
when operating on or near steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power
lines, or when debris and foreign objects are to be avoided. 
 (SGM-07)
Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors with the windows
closed.  
(SGM-11)
Mow only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with adequate artificial
lighting. Never mow in darkness or foggy conditions where you cannot clearly see at least
100 yards(90 m) in front and to the sides of the tractor and mower.   Make sure that you can
clearly see and identify passersby, steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions,
power lines, debris and foreign objects. If you are unable to clearly see these type of items
discontinue mowing.
