1.

Thoroughly inspect area to be cut for debris and 
unforeseen objects. Mark any potential hazards.

2.

Follow “Blade Engagement” instructions on this 
page to start cutter blades turning.

3.

Optimum ground speed depends on density of 
material, tractor horsepower, and terrain. Always 
operate tractor at the cutter’s full-rated PTO speed in 
a gear range (2 to 5 mph) that allows the cutter to 
make smooth cuts without lugging tractor down.

4.

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. 

5.

Do not engage PTO with 3-point cutter fully raised.

6.

Periodically disengage PTO, shut tractor engine off, 
remove key, and check for foreign objects wrapped 
around blade spindles. Block cutter deck up before 
removing objects. 

7.

Frequently inspect cutter for loose bolts and nuts. 
Tighten all loose bolts and nuts as indicated in the 
“Torque Values Chart” on page 56.

8.

For additional information, see “General Operating 
Instructions” on page 42.

IMPORTANT: Do not back pull-type cutter into solid 
objects. The joint where the tongue is pinned to the 
deck will pivot upward causing the front edge of the 
deck to press against the driveline.

NOTE:  Do not cut in wet conditions. Wet material 
will build up on the deck underside creating poor 
discharge, high wear, and additional horsepower 
consumption.

Periodically disengage PTO, turn off tractor, remove 
key & check for objects wrapped around blade 
spindle. Block deck up before removing objects.

Frequently inspect cutter for loose bolts and nuts. 
Tighten all loose hardware as indicated in the 
“Torque Values Chart” on page 56.

Refer to Figure 4-1 & Figure 4-2:
Avoid tractor-to-cutter turning angles exceeding 35 
degrees if main driveline is a standard conventional drive 
shaft. The turning angle may be increased to 80 degrees 
if equipped with a constant velocity driveline shaft. These 
extreme angles are intended for intermittent usage only 
and not prolonged usage. Plan your field cutting to 
minimize the number of turns as well as extreme angles 
where turns are necessary.
