6. SETTING THE MOWER
Properly setting the cutting height is essential for efficient and safe operation. A properly set mower will make
a more uniform cut, distribute clippings more evenly, require minimal tractor work, and follow the contour of
uneven terrain. NOTE: Avoid very low cutting heights, striking the ground with the blades gives the most
damaging shock loads and will cause damage to the mower and drive. Blades contacting the ground may
cause objects to be thrown out from under the mower deck. Always avoid operating the mower at a height
which causes the blades to contact the ground. OPS-U- 0010
Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted
component unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up
to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious
injury or even death.
6.1 Setting Mower Height- Lift Type - (Standard or Quick Hitch)
1. Park the tractor and mower on level ground.
2. Using the 3-point hitch control lever, position
the front of the mower with the side skids 1"
less off the ground than desired cut height. For
example, for a 3" cut, position the skids 2" from
the ground. Set the 3-point control lever stop at
this position to maintain this height when raising
and lowering the mower.
3. Shut down the tractor and remove the key.
4. Adjust the mower deck front to rear by
extending or retracting the 3-point top link.
Always set front of deck 3/4" lower than rear for
best performance.
