The following instructions are for leveling and cutting 
height adjustments for 3-Point and Semi-Mount cutters 
with rear axles. See page 31 for “3-Point Cutters With 
Beam Arms” and page 35 for “Pull-Type Cutters With 
Rear Axles”.

Three primary adjustments should be made prior to actual 
field operations:

Proper adjustment of each of these items will provide 
higher efficiency, improved cutting performance and 
longer blade life.

Always disengage PTO, put tractor in park or set park brake, 
shut tractor engine off, remove ignition key, and wait for all 
moving parts to stop before dismounting from tractor. 

This adjustment should be made with cutter hooked to the 
tractor that will be used for field operations

1.

Having completed “Tractor Hook-up”, locate tractor 
and cutter on a flat, level surface.

2.

Use tractor’s hydraulic 3-point control to lower the 
cutter until the front of the skid shoes are 2 to 3 inches 
off the ground.

Refer to Figure 3-5:
3.

Place a spirit level or other suitable leveling device 
across the front of the deck. 

4.

Adjust either one or both of the tractor’s lower lift arms 
up or down to level the deck from left to right. Some 
tractors have only a single adjusting crank.

1.

With gloves on, carefully rotate blade tips on one side 
of the cutter to the position shown in Figure 3-6.

2.

Measure distance from end of blade (cutting tip) to 
ground. This distance is the cutting height.

3.

Using tractor’s 3-point hydraulic control lever, raise or 
lower the 3-point arms until the front blade tip is at the 
desired cutting height.

4.

Set tractor’s 3-point hydraulic control stop once the 
tailwheel and 3-point arms are properly adjusted.

IMPORTANT: The front blade tip should be lower 
than rear blade tip by approximately 1". The cutter is 
subject to continuous material flow under the deck if 
the rear blade is at the same height or lower than the 
front blade causing horsepower loss, grass clumps, 
blade wear, and frequent blade sharpening.
