The GRASS KING will attach to most tractors with Cat I or Cat II Hitch and 540 PTO RPM.
TRACTOR PREPARATION
For satisfactory operation the Grass King machine should be attached to tractors that are of sufficient size and
horse power. The Grass King flail mower requires a minimum 40 horse power and a minimum base tractor
weight of 4500 pounds. The Grass King rotary mower requires a minimum 50 horse power and a minimum
base tractor weight of 6000 pounds.
In addition, the left rear tire should have a full charge of liquid ballast. The rotary Grass King requires that the
rear tractor tires be spread to a minimum 96 inches outside dimension.
Note: When attaching the rotary Grass King head to the tractor, it may be necessary to move the main frame
further to the right if the head hits the tire when the head is tilted up. This is done by loosening the bolts that
attach the hitch weldment to the mainframe weldment and sliding the frame to the right. It may be necessary to
loosen the pump suction line and readjust in order to prevent the hose from kinking when adjusting the frame.
In order to move the frame the maximum amount to the right, the hitch weldment attachment bolts on the right
hand side will have to be completely removed so that the hitch can be positioned on the left side of the cylinder
lug. (See A-frame illustration in the parts section).
