crossing ditches and steep inclines
When crossing ditches with steep banks or going up
sharp inclines, it is possible that the main driveline
inner profile will penetrate into the outer housing
to its maximum depth until the assembly becomes
solid (driveline is at its extreme shortest length). this
type of abusive operation can cause serious damage
to the tractor and cutter drive by pushing the PtO
into the tractor and through the support bearings or
downward onto the PtO shaft, breaking it off.
Damage resulting from over collapse of the driveline’s inner profile and its outer housing may allow
the driveline to come loose from the tractor which could cause bodily injury to the operator or
bystanders and/or extensive damage to the tractor or Implement.
When confronted with an incline or ditch, do not approach from an angle which is perpendicular or
straight on as damaged to over collapse of the driveline may occur.
When crossing such terrain, the wings should be fully lowered for a lower center of gravity and
added stability.

10.5 Crossing ditches and Steep Inclines
When crossing ditches with steep banks or going up
sharp inclines, it is possible that the main driveline
inner profile will penetrate into the outer housing to its
maximum depth until the assembly becomes solid
(driveline is at its extreme shortest length). This type
of abusive operation can cause serious damage to
the tractor and mower drive by pushing the PTO into
the tractor and through the support bearings or
downward onto the PTO shaft, breaking it off.
Damage resulting from over-
collapse of the driveline’s inner profile and its outer housing may allow the driveline to come
loose from the Tractor which could cause bodily injury to the operator or bystanders and/or
extensive damage to the Tractor or Implement. OPS-R-0020
When contronted with an incline or ditch, do not
approach from an angle which is perpendicular or
straight on as damaged to over collapse of the
driveline may occur.
When crossing such terrain, the wings should be
fully lowered for a lower center of gravity and added
stability. OPS-R-0021
