Reduce tractor ground speed when turning and leave
enough clearance so cutter does not contact
obstacles such as buildings, trees, or fences.

Blade Engagement & Disengagement
Cutter blades can lock-up against each other during
start-up and shut-down especially if the tractor’s PTO
engagement is “INSTANT ON” and “INSTANT OFF”.
Following Blade Engagement and Blade Disengagement
instructions below will help eliminate blade lock up.

Following Blade Engagement and Blade Disengagement
instructions below will help eliminate blade lock up.
Blade Engagement
1.
Increase throttle to a speed just enough to get the
cutter started without stalling tractor while slowly
engaging PTO drivelines. Use tractor’s PTO soft start
option if available.

engaging PTO drivelines. Use tractor’s PTO soft start
option if available.
2.
Ensure that all power shafts are rotating and that the
cutter is not vibrating excessively after ramping up to
PTO speed for at least 3 seconds. If excessive
vibration continues after 3 seconds at full PTO
speed, disengage PTO immediately, shut down
tractor, and remove switch key.

3.
Check blades for a lock-up situation. Block cutter
deck up before working under the unit. Unlock
blades, remove support blocks, and repeat “Blade
Engagement” instructions.

3.
Optimum ground speed depends on density of
material being cut, horsepower rating of tractor, and
terrain. Always operate tractor at cutter’s full rated
PTO speed in a gear range that allows the cutter to
make a smooth cut without lugging tractor down,
usually between 2 to 5 mph.

Stop traveling and disengage PTO after the first 50
feet of cutting. Check cutter levelness and cutting
height to make certain it is adjusted properly.

Periodically disengage PTO, shut down tractor,
remove key, and check for foreign objects wrapped
around the blade spindle. Block cutter deck up before
removing objects.

obstacles. However, it is best to avoid striking
obstacles to extend cutter and blade life.
