center of the tow vehicle. This allows the operator to drive
along side high brush with the tow vehicle while cutting
down the brush beside him. The adjustable hitch gives
you three offset cutting positions plus straight behind for
narrow paths.
MODEL 45-0362
The adjustable hitch of this mower can be set in seven
positions including straight and offsets of 9", 17" and 23"
on both sides. (See Fig. 7)
