6.2.2 Tractor Safety Devices
If transporting or operating the tractor and implement
near a public roadway, the tractor must be equipped
with proper warning lighting and a Slow Moving Vehicle
(SMV) emblem which are clearly visible from the rear of
the unit. Lights and a SMV emblem must be equipped
directly on implements if the visibility of the tractor
warning signals are obscured.
Maintain all manufacturer equipped safety shields and
guards. Always replace shields and guards that were
removed for access to connect, service, or repair the
tractor or implement. Never operate the tractor PTO
with the PTO master shield missing or in the raised
position.
6.2.3 ROPS and Seat Belt
WARNING
Rollover Hazard
To avoid serious injury or death from
falling off tractor, equipment runover,
rollover, or crushing:
1) Use ROPS equipped tractor.
2) Keep ROPS locked in the UP position.
3) Only operate the equipment when seated in the
tractor seat.
4) Always fasten seat belt when operating the tractor
and rotary cutter.
The tractor must be equipped with a Roll Over
Protective Structure (ROPS) (tractor cab or roll bar)
and seat belt to protect the operator from falling off the
tractor, especially during a roll-over where the driver
could be crushed and killed. Only operate the tractor
with the ROPS in the raised position and seat belt
fastened.
Tractor models not equipped with a ROPS and seat
belt should have these life saving features installed by
an authorized dealer.
6.2.4 Tractor Horsepower
The power required to operate the cutter is determined
by the tractor PTO horsepower. Operating the cutter
with a tractor that does not have adequate power may
damage the tractor engine. Exceeding recommended
HP may cause mower damage by overpowering the
unit in heavy cutting conditions.

6.2.5 3-Point Hitch
Depending on the model, these rotary cutters are
designed to be mounted on a tractor CAT I or CAT ll
3-Point or Quick Hitch.
Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for the category
of the tractor being used. If the hitch does not conform
to ASABE CAT I/ll dimensions, the mower may not
fi t or raise properly. Consult an authorized dealer
for possible modifi cation procedures to mount non-
conforming hitches. Depending on the hitch category,
certain size pins are used to attach the mower to the
tractor. CAT I hitches require 7/8” lower and 3/4” upper
diameter hitch pins. CAT Il hitches require 1-1/8” lower
and 1” upper diameter hitch pins.
6.2.6 Power Take-Off (PTO)
This rotary cutter is designed to operate at a PTO
speed of 540 RPM. Most tractors operate at either 540
or a combination of 540 and 1000 RPM PTO speeds.
The operating speed of the rotary cutter and tractor
can be determined by the number of splines on the
driveline yoke and PTO output shaft. Those operating
at 540 RPM will have a 6-spline shaft, and those
operating at 1000 RPM will have a 21-spline shaft.
