2.0 TRANSPORTING THE MOWER
Only tow the mower behind a
properly sized and equipped
tractor which exceeds the weight
of the mower by 20%. Do not tow
the mower behind a truck or other
type of vehicle
Do not allow children or other
people to ride on the tractor or
mower. Falling off can result in
serious injury or death.
1. Tractor Requirements
- Minimum tractor weight of 9360 lbs
(4246 kg).
- Roll Over Protection System (ROPS)
- Working seatbelts
- 1 3/8" 21 spline PTO
- Minimum 80 PTO HP
Recommended is 100 PTO HP.
- 3 Spool Control Valves (SCV)
2. Ensure correct PTO speed
- Ensure that the tractor PTO speed
matches the mower’s gearbox speed
of 1000 rpm.
- Do not attempt to operate the mower
at a different PTO speed.
Note: Do not use PTO adapters. PTO
adapters will cause a driveline
failure and possible tractor
damage. Your mower warranty
will also be invalid.
3. Adjust Single Point Hitch Drawbar Length
- Set the drawbar length to 16" (406
mm) for a 1 3/8" 21 spline PTO.
- This length is measured from the tip of
the PTO shaft end to the center of the
drawbar hole. (Refer to your tractor’s
operator manual for drawbar
adjustment procedures.)
Note: To prevent damage to the tractor
drawbar, avoid traveling at high
speeds and over rough terrain.
