INTRODUCTION The GX-130 general duty rotary Cutter is designed primarily for weeds, grass, and brush to 4” diameter. The side skirts are 13-5/8” deep. This additional room under the deck, along with high blade tip speeds allows for a better cut and better material flow.
ALWAYS OPERATE WITH THE WING HYDRAULIC CYLINDER CONTROL VALVES IN A FLOAT POSITION. • For maximum performance and service life, Always use Genuine Schulte replacement parts OPERATING NOISE LEVEL/SOUND PRESSURE The sound levels at the operator's ear from the attached machine (rotary cutter) are at least 10 dB(A) below the levels from typical Agricultural tractors used to power and transport this machine.

GENERAL STATEMENT AFFECTING ALL SCHULTE WARRANTY Schulte Industries Ltd. warrants to the original purchaser only, that in the event of any defect in material or workmanship in the product sold by Schulte Industries, the subject of this warranty (“the goods”) during the warranty period mentioned below the manufacturer will provide the coverage specified below.
Page 47
• The Dealer must keep the failed part until the claim is processed, to allow Schulte Industries the option of further examination of the part.
CHAIN GUARDS The GX-130 comes standard with single or double chain guards. Use the Parts Manual for chain guard locations on the rotary cutter. If your machine is equipped with single safety chains insert the first link of the 5 link chain into the first slot of the chain rail.
ASSEMBLY Assembly from Truck Shipment The following are instructions to set up a GX-130 cutter that has been delivered on a truck. When the cutter is received the hitch will be flipped back onto the cutter as shown on Figure AsmP-R-0571.

Pictures contained in this section are intended to be used as a visual aid to assist in explaining the operation of a flex-wing rotary cutter and are not necessarily of a GX-130 cutter. Some pictures may show shields removed for picture clarity. NEVER OPERATE this implement without all shields in place and in good operational condition.
The recommended tractor HP for the GX-130 is 85 HP, minimum 45 HP. Operating the mower with a tractor that does not have enough power will produce a less desirable cut and may cause tractor engine damage.
In case of emergency, shut down tractor engine, disengage the PTO and wait for all rotating motion to stop. Place the tractor in park position, engage parking brake and remove the key before leaving the operator’s seat. GX-130 04/23 Operation Section 4-32...
NOTE: The following description is for a single lane highway (one lane of traffic in each direction). If the GX-130 with standard rotation is used “against traffic”, it may leave a strip of longer grass in the left tire track. If the cutter is to be consistently used for cutting “against traffic”, it is...
NOTE: The following descriptions are for a single lane highway (one lane of traffic in each direction). GX-130 standard blade rotation is designed for optimum cutting “with traffic”. With traffic means cutting in the right ditch with traffic on the left. The wing blade rotations (right - counter-clockwise, left -clockwise) help to lift or stand the grass up that has been tramped by the tractor, while it is being cut.
These parts are made and tested to Schulte Industry specifications. Non-genuine "will fit" parts do not consistently meet these specifications. The use of “will fit” parts may reduce the performance, void Schulte warranties, and present a safety hazard. Use genuine Schulte parts for economy and safety.
Slip Clutches Each of the drivelines on the Schulte cutter is equipped with a slip clutch. Everyone of these slip clutches are pre-set and run-in by the Schulte supplier, so they should not be adjusted by the dealer or end user.
