53. TIPS Always operate PTO at recommended RPM when cutting This is necessary to maintain proper blade speed and to produce a clean cut Under certain conditions tractor tires may roll some grasses down and prevent them from being cut atthe same height as the surrounding area When this occurs reduce the tractor ground speed but maintain PTO RPM The lower speed will permit grasses to be at least partially rebound and be cut Taking a partial cut and or reversing the direction of travel may also produce a cleaner cut IMPORTANT To produce best possible cut move tractor rear tires out to minimum 60 inches inside of tires so wing blades will pick up grass Wing blades turn so they will help pick up material mashed down by the tractor tires WARNING Avoid personal injury Pick up all rocks and other debris before cutting Enter new areas carefully Cut material higher the first time to allow cutter to clear unseen objects Never assume an area is clear Always check Extremely tall grass should be cut twice Raise cutter and cut twice the desired height Cut the second time at desired height at 90 degree to first pass Remember sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and use less power Before cutting analyze the area to determine the best cutting procedure Consider the height and type of material and the terrain type hilly level or rough DANGER Wing sections should be raised only for clearance of obstructions and never for continuous cutting
