OPERATION
2.2 Tractor Safety Devices
If transporting or operating the tractor and implement near a public roadway, the tractor must be equipped with
proper warning lighting and a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem which are clearly visible from the rear of the
unit. Lights and a SMV emblem must be equipped directly on implements if the visibility of the tractor warning
signals are obscured.
Maintain all manufacturer equipped safety shields and guards. Always replace shields and guards that were
removed for access to connect, service, or repair the tractor or implement. Never operate the tractor PTO with
the PTO master shield missing or in the raised position. OPS-U- 0004str
2.3 Tractor Horsepower
The power required to operate a mower is determined by the tractor PTO horsepower. For most mowing
conditions, the TR208 lift mower requires a tractor with at least 45 HP, and the pull type mower requires at least
30 HP. Operating the mower with a tractor that does not have adequate power may damage the tractor engine.
Exceeding 90 HP may cause mower damage by overpowering the unit in heavy cutting conditions.
2.4 3-Point Hitch-Lift Type and Semi-Mount Type Mowers
Lift Type Mower-The tractor 3-point hitch must be
rated to lift at least 2000 lbs.
The Model TR308 is designed to be mounted on a
tractor with CATII or CATIII 3-point or CATII or
CATIII Quick Hitch.
Refer to the tractor operator's manual for the
category of the tractor being used. If the hitch
does not conform to ASABE dimensions, the
mower may not fit or raise properly. Consult an
authorized
dealer
for
possible
modification
procedures to mount non-conforming hitches.
Depending on the hitch category, certain size pins
are used to attach the mower to the tractor. Quick
Hitch requires 1-7/16 diameter lower pin and 1-1/4
diameter upper pin. CATII hitches require 1-1/8
lower pins and 1 inch upper pins. CATIII hitches
require 1-7/16 lower pins and 1-1/4 upper pin
diameters.
Our 3-point Quick Hitch is designed to connect to
a Quick-Attach coupler making mounting and
dismounting your mower easier. The 3-Point
Quick Hitch is also designed to connect the mower
to a tractor's 3-point linkage without the use of a
Quick-Attach Coupler.
