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 most conditions, adjust the cutter so rear of cutter is 25 mm (1 in.) higher than front. (See ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT AND ANGLE in this section.)
  • Blades must be sharp. Be sure suction blades are installed for the correct rotation. (See REPLACING BLADES in the Service section.)
