INTRODUCTION
These mowers are available in lift-type models only. These rugged Mowers are designed for heavy-duty work.
They can mow pastures, cut brush up to 2" in diameter, and control grass and weeds on highways or industrial
sites.
For Non-Agricultural use, OSHA, ASAE, SAE, and ANSI standards require the use of Chain
Guards or Solid Skirts at all times. The Cutter manufacturer strongly recommends the use
of Chain Guards or Solid Skirts for Agricultural purposes as well, to reduce the risk of
property damage, serious bodily injury, or even death from objects thrown out by or from
contact with the Cutting Blades.
The A60B requires a tractor with a minimum of 30 HP and the A72B requires a minimum of 35 HP with
adequate front end weight.
At least 20% or the tractor’s weight must be on the front tires with the implement lifted to
provide adequate traction for safe steering under good conditions. Slow down on hills,
rough terrain, and curves.
Front and rear, and left and right are determined by the normal direction of travel (the same as on your
automobile).
