Page 8: General Information
The illustrations and data used in this manual were current at the time of printing, but due to possible running changes, your machine may vary slightly in detail. Bad Boy Cutters reserves the right to redesign and change the machines as necessary without notification.
Page 9 ATTACH CUTTER TO TRACTOR CAUTION ■ Make sure driveline will not bottom out at the shortest length and that it has at least 1/3 overlap at its longest length. ■ Select a top link mounting pin that will allow floating link to swing freely through the cutter A-frame bars.
Page 10 If the distance is too small, the driveline may bottom out during operation and damage the cutter or tractor. If the driveline is too short, please call your Bad Boy Cutter dealer for a longer driveline. If the driveline is too long, follow the instructions below for shortening the driveline.
Page 11 CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT WARNING ■ Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance. ■ Avoid low cutting heights when at all possible. Striking the ground with a cutter blade during operation results in one of the most damaging shock loads a cutter can encounter. Repeated blade/ ground contact will cause damage to the cutter and drive.
Page 12 ■ Move slowly into material. Adjust tractor ground speed to provide a clean cut without lugging the tractor engine. Proper ground speed will depend on the terrain and the material’s height, type, density, and moisture content. The operator will be able to determine appropriate ground speeds for different conditions.
