WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
Lightweight tractors with rear attached implements may need
weights added to the front to maintain steering control.
Consult your tractor Operator's Manual to determine proper
weight requirements and maximum weight limitations.
NOTE: Land Pride's Quick Hitch can be attached to
the tractor to provide quick and easy 3-point hook-
up and detachment. See your nearest Land Pride
dealer to purchase a Quick-Hitch.
You will need to purchase two adapter bushings if
attaching this cutter to a 3-point Category I hitch. See
"Category l Adapter Bushings" on page 9 for additional
information and bushing part number.
The tractor's lower 3-point arms must be stabilized to
prevent side-to-side movement. Most tractors have sway
blocks or adjustable chains for this purpose.
