4.2 Tractor Requirements
The tractor used to operate the machine must have sufficient capacity to lift, pull and operate the Power Take Off
(PTO) at the machines rated speed (540 or 1000 rpm) while travelling at a working ground speed for the
conditions and quantity of material of the work site. Operating the machine with a tractor which does not meet
the requirements set by Spearhead may cause the tractor and/or machine damage, potentially risking danger to
the operator and bystanders.
The working tractor MUST effectively offer the following characteristics to fit the Multicut 300 machine.
Approved cab (for country of use) with protective structure or Roll Over Protection
Structure (ROPS) and seat belt. See local tractor standards (2)
Table 4.1 - Tractor Requirements and Capabilities
Notes:
(1) Spearhead constantly reviews and improves product designs and reserve the right to change this
information. Contact your Spearhead Sales representative if you have any queries.
(2) The tractor must be fitted with a locally approved cab or Roll Over Protection Structure (ROPS) and
have a seat belt to protect the operator from falling from the tractor or during a rolling over incident.
Only operate the tractor when seated in the operator’s seat with the seat belt securely fastened.
(3) All guarding must be maintained to perfect working condition. Always replace shields and guards
that were removed for access to service or repair the tractor or machine. Never operate
machine/tractor without all safety devices in position.
(4) Variations in power requirement can depend on the vegetation to be cut, terrain condition, operator
experience and the physical condition of the machine and/or tractor. Running a machine on an
overly large tractor may cause damage through overpowering the machine in heavy working
conditions.
(5) Front end weight is critical to maintain steering control and prevent the tractor from rearing up. Front
weight and weight carriers can be purchased through an authorized tractor dealership.
(6) Refer to the tractor owner’s manual for instructions on how to change PTO speeds on models with
more than one speed.
