Center and Wing Section Leveling
These adjustments should be made with the cutter
hooked up to the same tractor that will be used for field
operations or one having the same drawbar height.
Cutter adjusting rods are set at the factory prior to
shipment. The adjusting rods control the draw bar height
at the hitch clevis.
Refer to Figure 3-1, Figure 3-2 & Figure 3-3:
1. Attach the cutter to the tractor and position it on level
ground.
2. Raise both wings to locked position.
3. See Figure 3-1. Using the hydraulic lift, adjust the
height of the center deck to 2-3 inch clearance
between the front skids (#2) and ground surface.
