6.3 Setting Mowing Height-Pull Type
1. Park the tractor and mower on level ground.
2. Using the tailwheel ratchet jack or hydraulic 
cylinder, position the mower so the skid shoes 
are 1” less off the ground than the desired final 
cut height. For example, if a 3” cut is desired, 
raise or lower the mower until the skid shoes 
are 2” off the ground. If a hydraulic cylinder is 
used, stroke control spacers can be placed on 
the hydraulic shaft to maintain a set cutting 
height each time the mower is raised and 
lowered.
3. Adjust the mower leveling rod so that the front 
of the mower is approximately 3/4” lower than 
the rear.
4. If the mower is attached to a 3-point hitch 
drawbar, adjust any tractor equipped lower link 
check chains, guide blocks, or sway blocks to 
prevent the hitch and mower from swaying from 
side to side. Never raise the 3-point lift with the 
mower attached as catastrophic driveline 
damage will occur.
