downward). To do this, shorten the tractor top link until the top hitch plate is locked
forward and no longer able to pivot. This will keep the rotary cutter locked in position
and minimize the shaking and bouncing during transport which can damage the hitch or
frame.
CAUTION: Make sure PTO is disengaged and blades have stopped turning before
raising rotary cutter to full transport position. Do not tow tractor and rotary cutter
behind other vehicles. Use a properly equipped trailer with heavy tie-downs for
towing operations.
Before transporting:
1. Always select a safe ground speed that is appropriate for the terrain.
2. Beware of traffic on public roads. Install a SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) sign when
traveling on roads or streets. Comply with all federal, state and local laws.
3. Reduce ground speed when turning and take care that the implement does not strike
obstacles such as trees, fences or buildings.
4. Always disengage PTO before raising the implement to transport position.
5. When raising the mower be sure the PTO driveline does not hit either the mower or
the tractor.
6. During transport the mower should not be lifted over 14”-16” from the ground.
