    These parts are made and tested to Bush Hog specifications. Non-genuine "will fit" parts do not consistently meet these specifications. The use of “will fit” parts may reduce equipment performance, void warranties, and present a safety hazard. Use genuine Bush Hog parts for economy and safety.
  • Page 14 SAFETY Transport only at speeds where you can maintain control of the equipment. Serious accidents and injuries can result from operating this equipment at high speeds. Understand the Tractor and Implement and how it handles before transporting on streets and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering and brakes are in good condition and operate properly.

  • Page 15: Concluding Safety Instructions And Practices

    SAFETY Your driving vision may be reduced or impaired by the tractor, cab, or implement. Before driving on public roadways identify any limited vision areas, and make adjustments to your operating position, mirrors, and the implement transport position so that you can clearly see the area where you will be traveling, and any traffic that may approach you.

    OPERATION 2. OPERATOR REQUIREMENTS Safe operation of the unit is the responsibility of a qualified operator. A qualified operator has read and understands the implement and tractor Operator’s Manuals and is experienced in implement and tractor operation and all associated safety practices. In addition to the safety messages contained in this manual, safety signs are affixed to the implement and tractor.

  • Page 31: Tractor Requirements

    The power required to operate an implement is determined by the tractor PTO horsepower. For most operating conditions, implement requires a tractor with at least 35 hp for 1D series, 65 hp for 2D series and 95 hp for 3D series.

  • Page 32: Front End Weight

    OPERATION 4.1 Front End Weight A minimum of 20% total tractor weight must be maintained on the tractor front end at all times. Front end weight is critical to maintain steering control and to prevent the tractor from rearing up while driving. If the front end is too light, add weight until a minimum of 20% total weight is reached on the front tires.

  • Page 33: Dismounting The Tractor

    OPERATION 5.2 Dismounting the Tractor Before dismounting, park the tractor and implement on a reasonably level surface, apply the parking brake, idle the engine down, and lower the implement to the ground. Shut down the tractor engine according to the operator’s manual, remove the key, and wait for all motion to completely stop.

  • Page 34: Connecting The Implement To The Tractor

    OPERATION Start tractor only when properly seated in the Tractor seat. Starting a tractor in gear can result in injury or death. Read the Tractor operators manual for proper starting instructions. (SG-13) 7. CONNECTING THE IMPLEMENT TO THE TRACTOR Use extreme caution when connecting the Implement to the tractor. The implement should be securely resting at ground level or setting on blocks.

  • Page 35: Pre-Operation Inspection And Service

    OPERATION 4. One lift arm at a time, align arm end hole between the set of holes of A-frame lift lugs. Insert hitch pin through the lug and arm holes and insert retaining pin into hitch pin. Walk around to opposite side and repeat procedure for remaining lift arm and hitch pin.

  • Page 39: Driving The Tractor And Implement

    OPERATION 9. DRIVING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT Safe tractor transport requires the operator possess a thorough knowledge of the model being operated and precautions to take while driving with an attached implement. Ensure the tractor has the capacity to handle the weight of the implement and the tractor operating controls are set for safe transport.

  • Page 40: Starting The Tractor

    OPERATION 9.1 Starting the Tractor The procedure to start the tractor is model specific. Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for starting procedures for your particular tractor. Consult an authorized dealer if the starting procedure is unclear. Ensure the 3-point control lever is in the lowered position and the PTO is disengaged before starting the tractor.

  • Page 41: Driving The Tractor And Implement

    OPERATION 9.3 Driving the Tractor and Implement Start off driving at a slow speed and gradually increase your speed while maintaining complete control of the tractor and unit. Moving slowly at first will also prevent the tractor from rearing up and loss of steering control. The tractor should never be operated at speeds that cannot be safely handled or which will prevent the operator from stopping quickly during an emergency.

  • Page 42: General Operating Instructions

    OPERATION 10.1 General Operating Instructions Do not attempt to disc wet or mucky soil and all areas should be well drained and capable of being walked on without having the soil stick to your shoes.. Discing action will commence as soon as the unit touches the ground and tractor begins to move forward. Your travel speed forward will be determined by soil conditions and available tractor horsepower.

  • Page 43: Harrow Adjustments

    OPERATION 11. HARROW ADJUSTMENTS Always turn tractor key off and remove key before performing any maintenance or adjustments on disc harrow. Properly block and secure disc harrow in lift position prior to changing angles of gangs or during maintenance. Keep feet fro under disc blades during adjustments or maintenance. 11.1 Disc Angling Note: The more angle you have on the disc, the more aggressive the cut will be, and the more horsepower will be required to pull your unit.

  • Page 44: Lateral Gang Adjustment

    11.2 Lateral Gang Adjustment The Bush Hog 1D, 2D, and 3D harrows come fully assembled but adjustment to specific cutting conditions may be required. Measure from the inner edge of the bent gang hanger to the edge of the square tube for the best results.

  • Page 45: Disc Leveling Front To Rear

    OPERATION 11.3 Disc Leveling Front to Rear The truest way to level your disc from front to rear is to observe behind the center of the disc harrow. In most soil conditions, a slight ridge in the center is actually a level operation. More air pockets will form where soil is thrown against each other causing a small ridge to form that will disappear after a soaking rain.

  • Page 46: Transporting The Tractor And Implement

    OPERATION Do not use your hands or feet to clean the disc gangs. The discs are sharp and serious injures could result from inadvertent contact with the discs. Never attempt to stand on the discs, tires, or frame members of the implement. (STL-11) 13.
  • Page 47 OPERATION The SMV (Slow-Moving Vehicle) emblem is universal symbol used to alert drivers of the presence of equipment traveling on roadways at a slow speed. SMV signs are a triangular bright orange with reflective red trim for both easy day and night visibility.

  • Page 48: Hauling The Tractor And Implement

    OPERATION 13.2 Hauling the Tractor and Implement Before transporting a loaded tractor and implement, measure the height and width dimensions and gross weight of the complete loaded unit.
