I hookup without a quick hitch. I found if you place a 8-10 round fence post under the move at about the center of gravity tree amity which is a bit off center of the 1st turtle you can one handed teeter totter the cutter to line up with the eyes on the lift arms. Granted you squared up when backing up. You can also move the move by yourself back and forth. Works for me just sharing with you guys. Don’t use a quick hitch because I use the same tractor for raking and baling. I like the way the pull string works both locks . How did you set that up and seems you removed or don’t use the cylinder lock.
@@eleuteriodiaz3653 great idea I bet that does make it easier. Yes when I bought the mower I had some problems with the cylinder lock. It was bent and wouldn't unlock very well. I thought about straightening it but seemed like a bad design and I could see it would cause future headaches so I removed it. I appreciate your tip and thank you for watching.
@@machineryd2765 thank you for the courteous reply. Enjoy your video , tell me how you have the solid bar lock and the transport latch hook on the same pull string.
@@eleuteriodiaz3653 that's the way it was when I got it. Only had 1 pull rope which went through the cylinder lift lock (which I removed) then to the transport lock hook where it is tied solid. Then there is another rope going from the transport lock down to the solid bar. So as you pull the rope it raises the transport lock and if you pull it far enough the 2nd piece of rope pulls the solid bar. Hope this helps. Won't let me send pictures through this text
