Operating the Cutter for Best Performance

• Operate the cutter at full PTO rated speed.
• Slower ground speeds, less than 8 km/h (5 mph), will result in better cut quality.
• For best results, cutting height should be as low as possible (less than 100 mm [4 in.]).
• For tall material, use a front chain discharge shield, in place of a rubber shield, to allow material to pass through.
• For most conditions, adjust the cutter so that skid (wear) shoes are parallel to the ground.
• Blades must be sharp. Be sure suction blades are installed for the correct rotation. (See REPLACING BLADES in the Service section.)
