Unhook Rotary Cutter
Initial Preparation
IMPORTANT: To help stabilize an unhooked cutter,
the cutter deck must be rotated down and resting on
the ground before unhooking the cutter.
1. See "Long-Term Storage" on page 58 before
parking Parallel Arm Rotary Cutter for a long period.
2. Disengage power take-off, park on a flat, level, hard
surface, and place gear selector in park or in neutral
with park brake set.
3. Continue with step( a) below if Kubota Stabilizer Kit is
installed. Otherwise skip to step 4.
Refer to Figure 5-4 on page 44:
a. Place jacks under the cutter's 3-point mainframe
and adjust jacks up until against the mainframe to
keep it from falling while removing
turnbuckles (#9A & #9B).
b. Remove hairpin cotters (#11) and bent pins (#10)
from lower link mount (#1 & #2).
c. Rotate turnbuckles (#9A & #9B) out of the way.
d. Set aside bent pins (#10) and hairpin cotters (#11)
for installation of turnbuckles (#9A & #9B) later.
4. Unhook transport safety chain and stow on storage
hook. See "Transport Safety Chain" on page 18 for
detailed instructions.
5. Refer to Figure 4-4 on page 39: Extend/retract
"ARM 1" and deck pivot cylinder until deck is parallel
with the ground.
6. Lower 3-point arms until deck is several inches
above ground.
7. Shut tractor down properly without changing height
of the 3-point arms. Refer to "Tractor Shutdown
Procedure" on this page.
8. Remove detent pins (#1) and lower park stands (#2)
as needed to support cutter mainframe. Replace
detent pins.
9. Restart tractor and lower 3-point arms until cutter
mainframe is supported by the park stands (#2).
10. Adjust "ARM 1" and deck pivot cylinder as needed to
place deck skid shoes or gauge wheels on the
ground.
11. Shut tractor down properly before dismounting. Refer
to "Tractor Shutdown Procedure" on this page.

Unhook Hydraulic Hoses
Refer to :
Figure 1-10 on page 19 & Figure 2-1 on page 22:
1. Move hydraulic control levers back and forth several
times to relieve all hydraulic pressure in hydraulic
hoses.
2. Disconnect all hydraulic hoses from tractor duplex
outlets.
3. Wrap hydraulic hoses around Parallel Arm Rotary
Cutter frame for storage and to keep dirt away from
quick disconnect couplings.
Unhook Control Stick
Refer to Figure 2-12 on page 27:
1. Disconnect control stick from solenoid control box
and deck motor switch if included.
2. Store control stick in a dry location.
Unhook Driveline
1. Pull back on driveline pull collar and hold while
pulling driveline yoke from tractor power take-off
shaft.
2. Collapse driveline by pushing tractor end of driveline
towards the Parallel Arm Rotary Cutter.
3. Support collapsed driveline off the ground to keep
dirt away from driveline pull collar and bearings.
Unhook 3-Point Hitch Arrangement
Refer to Figure 1-3 & Figure 1-4 on page 15:
1. If a Quick Hitch was used to hook-up the cutter, skip
to "Unhook Quick Hitch Arrangement" below.
Otherwise continue with step 2 below.
2. Remove top center hitch pin keeper and hitch pin.
Place center 3-point link in tractor's holding clip.
3. Remove linchpins and hitch pins from lower 3-point
lift arms.
4. Restart tractor and drive forward several feet while
making sure lower 3-point arms and Kubota stabilizer
turnbuckles do not catch on implement.
5. Place gear selector in park or set park brake, shut
tractor engine off, remove switch key, and dismount
tractor.
6. Reinstall hitch pins, linchpins, and hair pin cotters in
the Parallel Arm Rotary Cutter hitch for safe keeping.
7. Continue with step 8 if Kubota Stabilizer Kit was
included. Otherwise, skip to "Relocate Slow Moving
Vehicle Sign" on page 39.
8. Refer to Figure 5-4 on page 44: Remove hairpin
cotters (#11), bent pins (#10), and turnbuckles
(#9A & #9B) from axle mount (#6).
9. Replace bent pins (#10) and hairpin cotters (#11) in
axle end of turnbuckles (#9A & #9B).
10. Attach turnbuckles (#9A & #9B) to the lower link
mounts (#1 & #2) with lower bent pins (#10) and
hairpin cotters (#11).
