Offset Mowing
The Out-Rigger™ Tow Bar allows you to offset the cutting path of the TOW-BEHIND DR FIELD and BRUSH MOWER up to 100%
from the Tow Vehicle. The provided locking positions are 0%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. Offset mowing allows you to mow closer to
equipment, trees, and fences and to drive in area already cut.
Offset at the Tow Bar Mount Plate:
1. Lift the Handle of the Tow Bar Locking Pin and rotate it (Figure 25a) to align
the Spring Pins with the slot in the Tow Bar. Continue lifting until both
Spring Pins are above the Tow Bar.
2. Rotate the Handle again until the Bottom Spring Pin is 90º to the Slots in
the Tow Bar and lower the Handle until the Bottom Spring Pin (Figure 25b)
rests on the Tow Bar. This is the unlocked position.
3. Move the Mower, using the Push Bar, until you have approximately aligned
the Tow Bar with the desired Offset angle (Figure 24).
4. Lift the Handle and twist it until the Spring Pins align with the Slots in the
Tow Bar. Press down to be sure to seat the Pin in the Mounting Plate hole
(Figure 25a) at the desired location.
NOTE: If the Tow Bar alignment is correct and the Locking Pin is properly
positioned, the Upper Spring Pin will not be showing. If the Upper Spring
Pin is still visible, adjust the Tow Bar angle by moving the Mower until the
Locking Pin can be pushed down into place and the Upper Spring Pin is no
longer visible (Figure 25b).
5. Rotate the Handle to position the Upper Spring Pin out of alignment with
the Slot in the Tow Bar (Figure 25a).

When performing offset mowing, always be sure that the Out-Rigger™ Tow Bar angle setting (Figure 24) and the Versa-Hitch™
angle setting match. This allows the tow-behind DR field and brush mower to track parallel to the tow vehicle.
