Tractor Requirements
The Model 615 disc mower with PIN 628301 and
above is designed to fit tractors with 540 RPM PTOs
with standard ASAE Category I three-point hitches.
The Model 615 with PIN below 628300, the Model
616, and the Model 617 disc mowers are designed
to fit tractors with 540 RPM PTOs with standard
ASAE Category II three-point hitches.
The tractor must also have adjustable sway bars or
a means of locking the lower lift arms from moving
sideways.
For the 615 disc mower above PIN 628301, the
tractor front axle weight should be 782 kg (1725 lbs.)
or greater prior to attaching the disc mower. This is
for tractors with a wheel base range of 1981 mm (78
in) to 2136 mm (84 in). Add additional weight if
required to achieve 782 kg (1725 lbs.) or greater.
The tractor must also be equipped with one remote
hydraulic circuit; with a minimum of 104 bar (1500
PSI) and a maximum of 193 bar (2800 PSI).
The tractor should have a minimum of 45
horsepower for the Model 615, a minimum of 55
horsepower for the Model 616, and a minimum of 60
horsepower for the Model 617. Insufficient tractor
horsepower may cause stripping and poor cutting.
A tractor that does not have adequate ballasting,
wheel spacing, and tire spacing can be unstable
when the disc mower is operated on an incline.
WARNING
A tractor with an enclosed cab is required when
operating a rotary disc cutting machine. Failure
to comply could result in death or serious injury.
