17Carbide Cutter OM
Getting Started
For best results, the areas to be mowed should be free of
debris such as bottles, metal objects, rocks and wire etc.
The teeth cut and pulverize the brush, grass and weeds.
Operate the carbide cutter as low to the ground as
possible without the teeth striking ground or other
obstructions. Because of the high speed of the teeth, the
life of the teeth will be reduced if it is operated in rocky
terrain or in areas where many obstacles are present.
The carbide cutter deposits cut material over the entire
width-of-cut, which eliminates bunching or windrowing
behind the machine.
Operation
Tilt attachment mounting frame back and raise the
carbide cutter slightly above the ground when moving
the carbide cutter and machine.
NOTE: Operate the carbide cutter as low to the ground
as possible without the teeth striking ground or
other obstructions.
Lower the carbide cutter until the skids contact the
ground. Engage the auxiliary hydraulics. Move the loader
and carbide cutter forward and begin mowing.
NOTE: Various mowing conditions, and desired finished
cut appearance, will determine proper ground
speed.
