Section 3:
Adjustments
Center and Wing Section Leveling
These adjustments should be made with the cutter
hooked up to the same tractor that will be used for field
operations or one having the same drawbar height.
Cutter adjusting rods are set at the factory prior to
shipment. The adjusting rods control the draw bar height
at the hitch clevis.
Refer to Figure 3-1, Figure 3-2 & Figure 3-3:
1.
Attach the cutter to the tractor and position it on level
ground.
2.
Raise both wings to locked position.
Refer to Figure 3-1:
3.
Using tractor’s hydraulics, adjust height of center
deck to 2-3 inch clearance between front skids (#2)
and ground. Check deck levelness by making
measurements from center of hinge rod (#1) to
ground at the front and back on both side of the deck.
All measurements should be equal if deck is level.

jam nut (#2).

Wing sections may need adjusting now that the
center section is level. Loosen jam nut (#4) and
