INTRODUCTION
KEY OPERATION POINTS
• Cutting performance and distribution are best when cutter is level from side to side and front to rear.
• In extra heavy material, rear chains will allow better discharge and better distribution than solid rear bands.
• Never operate the Mower below full PTO speed of 540 or 1000 rpm.
• Corn should be cut at 5 to 6 mph. If full PTO rpm cannot be maintained, use one lower gear.
Operating Noise Level/Sound Pressure
The sound levels at the operator's ear from the attached machine (rotary cutter) are at least 10 dB(A) below the
levels from typical Agricultural tractors used to power and transport this machine. Therefore, the Noise
emission values given by the OEM of the Agricultural tractor used to power and transport this machine would
be valid when this machine is attached to and operated by that Agricultural tractor in all OEM recommended
applications.
