6.3 Setting Mowing Height-Pull Type

1. Park the tractor and mower on level ground.
2. Using the tailwheel ratchet jack or hydraulic
cylinder, position the mower so the skid shoes
are 1" less off the ground than the desired final
cut height. For example, if a 3" cut is desired,
raise or lower the mower until the skid shoes
are 2" off the ground. If a hydraulic cylinder is
used, stroke control spacers can be placed on
the hydraulic shaft to maintain a set cutting
height each time the mower is raised and
lowered.
3. Adjust the mower leveling rod so that the front
of the mower is approximately 3/4" lower than
the rear.
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.
