Attach the cutter to your tractor using the Category 1 & 2 hitch. Adjust the cutting height between 2 inches and 10 inches according to your needs. When operating, drive the tractor at a steady speed, and the dual - spindle design with free - swinging blades will handle the cutting. As for maintenance, regularly check the replaceable wear skids and replace them when they are worn out. Inspect the chain guards and other shields to ensure they are in good condition.
