    This creates powerful suction that lifts the grass for a crisp cut. A blade overlap prevents stripping and ensures the lawn is mowed evenly. Buhler Farm King Heavy Duty Finishing Mowers are built to be durable and long lasting. Each wheel yoke assembly includes a cutting height adjustment on the 1" wheel yoke shaft.

    HITCH ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS The hitch is assembled except for the two pivot bars (#69). Bolt one end of each pivot bar between the welded brackets at the back of the deck using the bolts assembled in the mower. Remove the 3/4” bolt (#63) at the top of the hitch assembly. Using the same bolt, assemble with the pivot bars between the hitch weldment (#38) 1.
  • Page 13: Start Up

    Park the unit on hard level ground with the mower slightly raised. Adjust the sway blocks or chains on the tractor so the mower is centered between the rear wheels. Adjust the three-point hitch arms to level the mower side to side. Adjust the turnbuckle on the top of the three-point hitch arms to level the mower front and back.
  • Page 14: Operation

    The Heavy Duty Finishing Mower is designed to be used on a tractor with a standard category 1 three-point hitch. See the specification sheet for horsepower requirements. Using excessive power will shorten the life of the drive train components. CONNECTING TO TRACTOR: Park the mower and tractor on a level dry area free of debris and foreign objects.
  • Page 15: Field Operation

    FIELD OPERATION The mower works best on dry grass. Slower cutting speed and occasional cleaning may be required on damp or wet grass. The PTO must run at the full 540 rpm for a good cut. Slower speeds or double cutting could be required for very high grass. Use a higher blade setting for rough areas to prevent scalping of the surface.
