6.2 Setting Mowing Height-Pull Type and Semi-Mount Type Mowers
1. Park the tractor and mower on level ground.
2. Using the ratchet jack or hydraulic cylinder,
position the mower so the skid shoes are 1”
less off the ground than the desired final cut
height. For example, if a 3” cut is desired, raise
or lower the mower until the skid shoes are 2”
off the ground. If a hydraulic cylinder is used,
stroke control spacers can be placed on the
hydraulic shaft to maintain a set cutting height
each time the mower is raised and lowered.
3. Adjust the mower leveling rod so that the front
of the mower is approximately 3/4” lower that
the rear.
4. If the mower is attached to a 3-point hitch
drawbar, adjust any tractor equipped lower link
check chains, guide blocks, or sway blocks to
prevent the hitch and mower from swaying from
side to side. Never raise the 3-point lift with the
mower attached as catastrophic driveline
damage will occur.
