7.2 Setting Mowing Height - Pull Type
1. Park the tractor and mower on level ground.
2. To set the cutting height raise the mower until
the bottom of blades and ground measure the
desired cutting height.For example if desired
height is 3", measurement from bottom of blade
to ground should be 3". When using the
hydraulic cylinder use the depth stop to set
cutting height.
3. Adjust the mower leveling rod so that the rear of
the mower is approximately 3/4" lower that the
front.
4. If the mower is attached to a 3-point hitch
drawbar, adjust any tractor equipped lower link
check chains, guide blocks, or sway blocks to
prevent the hitch and mower from swaying from
side to side. Never raise the 3-point lift with the
mower attached as catastrophic driveline
damage will occur.
7.3 Setting Deck Pitch
Mower
should
be
operated
approximately 3/4" HIGHER IN THE FRONT THAN
THE REAR.
Operating the mower at this pitch will allow the
mower to cut the grass twice and can result in a
more even cut and improved distribution of the cut
material.
IMPORTANT:
Adjust the leveling rods the same amount and
maintain equal tension in the rods. Improper
adjustment may cause rods to snap or bend. Re-
tighten the jamnuts after the deck pitch has been
set.
