HITCHING MOWER TO TRACTOR
Attach mower to drawbar only.
DRAWBAR SETUP
Drawbar should be adjusted so it is 14” to 15” from the centerline of the draw
pin hole to end of PTO shaft. This is critical for proper PTO shaft operation.
Adjust hitch or drawbar so mower frame is at the most level position in
relation with the ground. This will ensure proper flotation of the wing decks.
Safety chain must always be attached to towing vehicle.
When towing mower on any roadways, lock brakes together. Use proper lighting
and marking devices according to the local regulations.
NOTE: If the three-point hitch is attached to tractor, be sure it will not contact
any part of the mower when making sharp turns. The hose support rod may have
to be bent back slightly to clear the three point hitch arms.
