    WINDROWER OPERATION WITH GAUGE WHEELS & CENTER TOP LINK INSTALLED GROUND LEVEL BLADE SWIVEL GAUGE WHEELS Operating the KMC Litter Windrower equipped with rear, swivel gauge wheels is similar to operation with skids but a few key differences. Once the Windrower is connected to the tractor lift arms and top link, the operator should sit in the tractor seat and raise the gauge wheels until the windrower blade is sitting on the ground.
  • Page 24: Floating Hitch Operation

    Floating Hitch Operation The standard model Litter Windrower comes equipped with a floating hitch point for the right lift arm. The floating hitch is designed to allow the wind- rower to self level should the left side of the tractor need to ride on top of the windrow.
  • Page 25 Note: Because house widths vary it may be necessary to make two passes down the edge of the wall to cover the full width of the house. The tractor should remain as level as possible to get the best results but the floating hitch link will allow the windrower to self level should the left side of the tractor need to ride on an existing windrow.
