Tractor Requirements
Horsepower
Tractor horsepower should be within the range noted
below. Tractors outside the horsepower range must not
be used. If the tractor is too small, it can be pushed
around and/or flipped over by the weight of the cutter.
Too large a tractor can damage the cutter.

Hydraulic Outlets
The number of tractor hydraulic duplex outlets is
dependent upon how the Rotary Cutter is set-up.
•
One duplex outlet is required. (Factory standard)
•
Two duplex outlets are required if hydraulic Wing
Control Kit is purchased. See "Hydraulic Wing
Control Kit" on page 23.
Drawbar Set-up
Refer to Figure 1-1:
Maintain proper distance shown in Figure 1-1 below. Be
sure to keep 14" between center of drawbar hitch pin hole
and end of tractor PTO shaft.
IMPORTANT: PTO damage may occur if distances
"A" and "B" are not properly maintained.
IMPORTANT: A PTO adaptor should not be used.
Using a PTO adaptor can damage the PTO.
A = 14"

Before You Start

Read and understand the operator's manual for your
cutter. An understanding of how it works will aid in the
assembly and setup of your cutter.
It is best to go through the Pre-Assembly Checklist
before assembling the cutter. Speed up your assembly
task and make the job safer by having all needed parts
and equipment readily at hand.

Torque Requirements

See "Torque Values Chart" page 40 to determine
correct torque values when tightening hardware. See
"Additional Torque Values" at bottom of chart for
exceptions to common torque values.
Pre-Assembly Checklist
Check
Have a fork lift or loader with properly sized chains and safety
stands capable of lifting and supporting the equipment on hand.
Have a minimum of two people available during assembly.
Make sure all major components and loose
parts are shipped with the machine.
Double check to make sure all parts, fasteners
and pins are installed in the correct location.
Refer to the Parts Manual if unsure. By double
checking, you will lessen the chance of using a
bolt incorrectly that may be needed later.
NOTE: All assembled hardware from the
factory has been installed in the correct
location. Remember location of a part or
fastener if removed during assembly. Keep
parts separated.
Make sure working parts move freely, bolts are
tight & cotter pins are spread.
Make sure all grease fittings are in place and
lubricated.
Make sure all safety labels are correctly
located and legible. Replace if damaged.
Make sure all red and amber reflectors are
correctly located and visible when machine is
in transport position.
Make sure all tires are inflated to the specified
psi air pressure and all wheel bolts and axle
nuts are tightened to the specified torque.
Remove Shipping Lugs
Refer to Figure 1-2:
The shipping lugs (#1) will interfere with wheels on both
sides of the center deck and must be removed.
1. Unbolt 1/2" cap screws (#2) and remove shipping
lugs (#1) from both sides of the center deck.
