5.1 Connecting the Mower-Lift Type
1. Make sure the tractor is equipped with the
correct PTO shaft. Change shafts if needed.
2. Shorten or remove the tractor drawbar to
avoid interference when raising and lowering
the mower.
3. Board the tractor and start the engine. Position
the tractor to the mower with the 3-point lift
arms positioned at the same height and to the
outside of the mower hitch pins. Note: Set the
3-point lift control to “Position Control” so that
the lift arms maintain a constant height when
attaching the mower. See the tractor
Operator’s Manual for correct settings when
attaching 3-point equipment.
4. Turn off the tractor engine and dismount.
5. One lift arm at a time, position the tractor lift
arms over the A-frame hitch pins. Insert linch
pins to retain lift arms to the mower. Walk
around to opposite side and repeat procedure
for remaining lift arm and hitch pin.
6. Lift Mowers-Extend or retract the 3-point top
link to align its end hole with the holes of the
mower’s top link. Insert the top link hitch pin
and insert retaining pin into hitch pin. Semi-
Mount Mowers- If a hydraulic cylinder is
being used to raise and lower the mower,
attach hose ends into the tractor hydraulic
ports.
7. Adjust any lower link check chains, guide
blocks, or sway blocks to prevent the mower
from swaying side to side and possible contact
with tractor rear tires.
Always shut the Tractor completely down, place the transmission in park, and set the
parking brake before you or anyone else attempts to connect or disconnect the Implement
and Tractor hitches.
