DB4048 & DB4060 HYDRAULIC ROTARY CUTTE
8 4/3/09
Tractor Requirements
The Hydraulic Rotary Cutter you have purchased is
designed for use with 45 horsepower; 4-wheel drive or
60 horsepower; 2-wheel drive and above tractors,
equipped with a 540 RPM or 1000 RPM rear power
take-off (PTO).
Your tractor must also be equipped with a standard
hitch. A category 2 or 3 quick hitch can also be used
with this cutter.
To insure stability of your tractor, the rear tires
should be spaced at their widest setting. We
recommend six feet or wider. You should also
add ballast to maintain proper steering control
and balance. In addition, unless your tractor is
4-wheel drive, you may also need to add front
weights. Please refer to the operator’s manual
for your tractor to determine the correct setup.
DANGER
This machine is designed for use on a closed cab
tractor only! If your tractor has an open cab, then it
MUST be equipped with operator protective equipment
in the form of shielding from thrown objects and Roll
Over Protective Structure (ROPS) to operate this
equipment safely.
Driveshaft Installation
The make of your tractor will determine the length of
driveshaft you require to connect from the end of the
pump shaft to the PTO connection of your tractor. This
step may require cutting the standard driveshaft
included with the Hardee cutter. We recommend
contacting your local Hardee dealer for assistance.
