Attaching the mower to the tractor in preparation for
operation includes the following:
• Attaching the limit chains
• Attaching the mower to the tractor’s three-point
hitch
• Fitting the PTO to the tractor and attaching the
PTO
• Connecting the mower’s hydraulic system
• Removing the jack stand
• Adjusting the limit chains and height of the hitch.
Before attaching the mower’s three-point hitch for
some models, the hitch pins must be relocated from

proper considering the tractor’s tread width.
Attachment of the limit chains to the mower hitch
differs on some models.
