Point Hitch; Power Take Off (Pto) - RHINO 160 Operator's Manual

2.4 3-Point Hitch

The tractor 3-point hitch must be rated to lift at least
640 lbs.
The 160 mower is designed to be mounted on a
tractor with a CAT I 3-point hitch or CAT I Quick
Hitch. Refer to the tractor operator's manual for the
category of the tractor being used. If the hitch does
not conform to ASABE CAT I dimensions, the
mower may not fit or raise properly. Consult an
authorized dealer for
procedures to mount non-conforming hitches.
Depending on the hitch category, certain size pins
are used to attach the mower to the tractor. CAT I
hitches require 7/8" lower and 3/4" upper diameter
hitch pins. Quick Hitch requires 1-7/16" diameter
lower pin and 1-1/4" diameter upper pin.
Our 3-Point Quick Hitch is designed to connect to a
Quick-Attach coupler
dismounting your mower easier. The 3-Point Quick
Hitch is also designed to connect the mower to a
tractor's 3-point linkage without the use of a Quick-
Attach Coupler.

2.5 Power Take Off (PTO)

This mower is designed to operate at a PTO speed of 540. Most tractors operate at either 540, or a
combination of 540 and 1000 RPM PTO speeds. The operating speed of the mower and tractor can be
determined by the number of splines on the driveline yoke and PTO output shaft. Those operating at 540 RPM
will have a 6-spline shaft and those operating at 1000 RPM will have a 21-spline shaft. Note: Only the 284
mower can be ordered to operate on tractors equipped with a 1000 RPM 21-spline shaft. Refer to the tractor
owner's manual for instructions to change PTO speeds on models that operate at more than one speed.
If operating an older model tractor where the tractor's transmission and PTO utilize one master clutch, an
over-running clutch must be used between the PTO output shaft and the driveline of the mower. An authorized
tractor dealer can provide the over-running clutch and its installation if needed. OPS-R- 0066_A
