Mid-mower lift system

The forward lift link is installed on the deck. It is spring loaded, allowing the link to connect automatically to front hangers (installed on tractor).

The PTO drive-shaft design allows the shaft to automatically adjust as the female end of the PTO coupler engages with the male end of the gearbox coupler. The male end coupler has tapered guides to ensure engagement of both ends.

Mower decks are equipped with a heavy-duty, double-sided locking latch to ensure rigidity and reliability.

Mid-mower lift system options

Standard mechanical mower lift
The standard mechanical mower lift system moves the mower in conjunction with the rear implement and is controlled using the rockshaft lever.
 
Optional hydraulic mower lift
The optional hydraulic mower lift system allows the mower to be raised and lowered independently of the rear implements. It uses the dual selective control valve (SCV) (loader joystick) to lift the mower deck.

 
Optional independent hydraulic mower lift
The optional independent hydraulic lift system allows the mower to be raised and lowered independently of the rear and front implements. It operates using the third-function button on the loader SCV joystick and gives the operator full control of the mower deck in up and down directions. This feature allows for quick height changes on the go.

NOTE: This option requires third-function SCV to be installed on the tractor.
