MOWER SETUP FOR OPERATION:
HITCHING TO TRACTOR:
CHECKING DRAWBAR SETTING:
Before hitching the mower to the tractor, a number of conditions must be
checked. Having the proper hitching dimensions for the tractor drawbar and the
PTO, will ensure long and trouble free hours of operation with this PTO driven
mower. Incorrect setup will damage the driveline components prematurely.
The following decal is mounted to the machine.
Two important dimensions for the tractor:
a) The drawbar length must be adjusted so it is 14” to 15” from the end of the PTO
shaft to the center of the drawpin.
b) The top of the drawbar must be adjusted so it is 6” to 9” from the center of the
PTO shaft to the top of the drawbar.
