In order to reduce accidents
and enhance the safe operation of mowers, Bush Hog, in cooperation with other industry manufacturers has
developed the AEM/FEMA Industrial and Agricultural Mower Safety Practices video and guide book.
The video will familiarize and instruct mower-tractor operators in safe practices when using industrial and
agricultural mowing equipment. It is important that Every Mower Operator
be educated in the operation of their
mowing equipment and be able to recognize the potential hazards that can occur while operating a mower. This
video, along with the mower operator’s manual and the warning messages on the mower, will significantly assist
in this important education.
Your Authorized Bush Hog Dealer may have shown this video and presented you a DVD Video when you
purchased your mower. If you or any mower operator have not seen this video, Watch the Video, Read this
Operators Manual, and Complete the Video Guidebook before operating your new mower. If you do not
understand any of the instructions included in the video or operator’s manual or if you have any questions
concerning safety of operation, contact your supervisor, dealer or Bush Hog.
If you would like a VHS video tape of the video, please mail AEMVideo@alamo-group.com or Fax AEM VHS
Video at (830) 372-9529 or mail in a completed copy of the form on the back of this page to AEM VHS Video
1502 E Walnut Street, Seguin, TX 78155. and request the VHS video version. Please include your name, mailing
address, mower model and serial number.
Every operator should be trained for each piece of equipment (Tractor and Mower), understand the intended
use, and the potential hazards before operating the equipment.
The information and material listed above along with this Operator’s Manual can assist you in meeting the OSHA
requirement for annual operator training.
OSHA TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
The following training requirements have been taken from Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations Part
1928.57 (a) (6). www.osha.gov
Operator instructions. At the time of initial assignment and at least annually thereafter the employer shall instruct
every employee who operates an agricultural tractor and implements in the safe operating practices and
servicing of equipment with which they are or will be involved, and of any other practices dictated by the work
environment.

BEFORE YOU START!! READ, UNDERSTAND, and FOLLOW the information provided in this manual, the AEM
Mower Safety manual and the tractor operator's manual carefully to learn how to operate and service your machine
properly. Failure to do so could result in personal injury to you and bystanders. All implements with moving parts
are potentially hazardous. Every effort has been made to ensure that the machine is safe but operators must avoid
engaging in unsafe practices and follow the written instructions provided. The manufacturer has designed this
implement to be used with all its safety equipment properly attached to minimize the chance of accidents.
SAFETY FIRST. Completely read and understand the safety section of this manual before operating this
equipment. Do not allow anyone to operate this equipment who has not fully read and understood this manual.
Contact your Dealer to explain any instructions that you do not fully understand.
The care you give your Bush Hog Implement will greatly determine your satisfaction with its performance and its
service life. Carefully read and follow the instructions in this manual to provide you with a thorough understanding
of your new implement and its intended use and service requirements.
All references made in this manual to right, left, front, rear, top or bottom are as viewed facing the direction of
forward travel with the implement properly attached to the tractor.
Replacement Parts information is located in a separate Parts Manual. Bush Hog mowers use balanced and
matched system components for blade carriers, blades, cuttershafts, knives, knife hangers, rollers, drivetrain
components, and bearings. These parts are made and tested to Bush Hog specifications. Non-genuine "will fit"
parts do not consistently meet these specifications. The use of "will fit" parts may reduce mower performance, void
warranties, and present a safety hazard. Use genuine Bush Hog mower parts for economy and safety.
For future reference, record your Bush Hog product model number and serial number.

INTRODUCTION
We are pleased to have you as a Bush Hog customer. Your Rotary Cutter has been carefully designed with
care and built with quality materials by skilled workers to give maximum service with minimum down time. This
manual is provided to give you the necessary operating and maintenance instructions for keeping your rotary
cutter in top operating condition. Careful use and timely service saves extensive repairs and costly downtime
losses. Please read this manual thoroughly. Understand what each control is for and how to use it.
Bush Hog typically offers three types of shielding to protect the operator, passerby, livestock, and property from
thrown objects... deflectors, single chain guards, and double chainguards. Shielding should be selected based
on the intended use of the mower. Double chainguards or deflectors should be used for highway, right-of-way,
parks or greenbelt mowing or all other mowing where human dwellings, vehicles, or livestock could be within
300 feet of the mower. Chainguards are more durable, provide a longer service life and require less
maintenance and replacement than deflectors. Single chainguards may be sufficient for agriculture and other
mower use only where passersby or property are not within 300 feet of the mower during operation.
No shielding is 100% effective in preventing thrown objects. The possibility of injury and property damage from
this hazard can be substantially reduce by selecting proper shielding, maintaining the mower and shielding in
good operational condition, inspecting the area for foreign debris before mowing, operating the mower at a
minimum cutting height of 4", and keep unprotected persons at a minimum distance of 300 feet from the
mower at all times during operation.
Safety is of primary importance to the owner/operator and to the manufacturer. Observe all safety precautions
decaled on the machine and noted throughout the manual for safe operation of implement. If any assistance or
additional information is needed, contact your authorized Bush Hog dealer. The owner/operator/dealer should
know and understand the Safety Messages before assembly and be aware of the hazards of operating this
cutter during assembly, use, and maintenance. The Safety Alert Symbol combined with a Signal Word, as seen
below, is intended to warn the owner/operator of impending hazards and the degree of possible injury faced
when operating this machine.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, WILL result in DEATH OR
VERY SERIOUS INJURY.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, COULD result in DEATH
OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, MAY result in MINOR
INJURY.
Identifies special instructions or procedures that, if not strictly observed, could result in
damage to, or destruction of the machine, attachments or the environment.

INTRODUCTION
The Bush Hog 326/327 Rotary Mower is designed for medium duty applications such as weed, grass, corn
stalks, and light brush to 2" diameter. These mowers are single spindle with two free-swinging blades. Free
swinging blades reduce the shock of impact when a stationary object is hit. Additional protection is provided by
a slip clutch on the gearbox input shaft. A round blade holder allows the mower to “ride over” stumps and
similar immovable objects. These Mowers are attached to the tractor using 3-point Cat II or III standard or
quick hitches or pull hitches. Standard equipment includes driveline shields, clutch shields and front and rear
discharge shields.

KEY OPERATION POINTS
Cutting performance and distribution are best when cutter is level from side to side and front to rear.
In extra heavy material, rear chains will allow better discharge and better distribution than solid rear bands.
Never operate the Mower below full PTO speed of 540 or 1000 rpm.
Corn should be cut at 5 to 6 mph. If full PTO rpm cannot be maintained, use one lower gear.
Operating Noise Level/Sound Pressure
The sound levels at the operator's ear from the attached machine (rotary cutter) are at least 10 dB(A) below the
levels from typical Agricultural tractors used to power and transport this machine. Therefore, the Noise
emission values given by the OEM of the Agricultural tractor used to power and transport this machine would
be valid when this machine is attached to and operated by that Agricultural tractor in all OEM recommended
applications.

3. Tractor Horsepower
The power required to operate a mower is determined by the tractor PTO horsepower. For most mowing
conditions,the 326 mower requires a tractor with at least 60 HP and the 327 mower requires a tractor with at
least 70 HP for Lift Model an 50HP for Pull Model. Operating the mower with a tractor that does not have
adequate power may damage the tractor engine. Exceeding recommended HP may cause mower damage by
overpowering the unit in heavy cutting conditions.
3.1 3-Point Hitch
The tractor 3-point hitch must be rated to lift at,
1507 lbs. (Model 326), 2043 lbs. (Model 327 - Lift)
and 2256 lbs. (Model 327 - Pull). The 326 is
designed to be mounted on a tractor with CAT I or
CAT II 3-Point or Quick Hitch. Model 327 can be
mounted with CATll, CAT lll or Quick Hitch.
Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for the
category of the tractor being used. If the hitch
does not conform to ASAE dimensions, the mower
may not fit or raise properly. Consult an authorized
dealer for possible modification procedures to
mount non-conforming hitches.
Depending on the hitch category, certain size pins
are used to attach the mower to the tractor. CAT I
hitches require 7/8” lower and 3/4” upper diameter
hitch pins. Quick Hitch requires 1-7/16” diameter
lower pin and 1-1/4” diameter upper pin. CAT II
hitches require 1-1/8” lower pins and 1 inch upper
pins. CAT III hitches require 1-7/16” lower pins
and 1-1/4” upper pin diameters.
Our 3-Point Quick Hitch is designed to connect to
a Quick-Attach coupler making mounting and
dismounting your mower easier. The 3-Point
Quick Hitch is also designed to connect the mower
to a tractor’s 3-point linkage without the use of a
Quick-Attach Coupler.
3.2 Front End Weight
A minimum of 20% total tractor weight must be maintained on the tractor front end at all times. Front end
weight is critical to maintain steering control and to prevent the tractor from rearing up while driving. If the
front end is too light, add weight until a minimum of 20% total weight is reached on the front tires. Front
weights and weight carriers can be purchased through an authorized tractor dealership. OPS-U- 0005

OPERATION
3.3 Drawbar-Pull Type Mower
For equipment operating at 540 RPM, the tractor
drawbar must be positioned at a 14” distance from the
hitch point to the PTO shaft end for proper operation
and minimal wear to the driveline.
If attaching the mower tongue clevis to a 3-point hitch drawbar supported by the lower lift arms, the attaching
point must be extended past the main bar to allow for turning without binding the clevis and bar. Lift arm
stabilizers must be used with this type of drawbar to prevent the mower from swaying from side to side.
OPS-R- 0061
3.4 Power Take Off (PTO)
This mower is designed to operate at a PTO speed of 540. Most tractors operate at either 540, or a
combination of 540 and 1000 RPM PTO speeds. The operating speed of the mower and tractor can be
determined by the number of splines on the driveline yoke and PTO output shaft. Those operating at 540 RPM
will have a 6-spline shaft and those operating at 1000 RPM will have a 21-spline shaft.
If operating an older model tractor where the tractor’s transmission and PTO utilize one master clutch, an
over-running clutch must be used between the PTO output shaft and the driveline of the mower. An authorized
tractor dealer can provide the over-running clutch and its installation if needed. OPS-R- 0066_B
OPERATION
326/327 06/12 Operation Section 4-7
© 2012 Alamo Group Inc.
OPERATION
DO NOT use a PTO adapter to attach a non-matching Implement driveline to a Tractor
PTO. Use of an adapter can double the operating speed of the Implement resulting in
excessive vibration, thrown objects, and blade and implement failure. Adapter use will also
change the working length of the driveline exposing unshielded driveline areas. Serious
bodily injury and/or equipment failure can result from using a PTO adapter. Consult an
authorized dealer for assistance if the Implement driveline does not match the Tractor PTO.
(S3PT-14)
Never operate the Tractor and Mower if the Implement input driveline is directly connected
to the Tractor transmission. Tractor braking distances can be substantially increased by
the momentum of the rotating Mower blades driving the Tractor transmission even though
the Tractor clutch has been disengaged. Install an over running clutch between the Tractor
PTO and the Mower driveline to prevent this potentially dangerous situation.
(S3PT-16)
4. GETTING ON AND OFF THE TRACTOR
Before getting onto the tractor, the operator must read and completely understand the implement and tractor
operator manuals. If any part of either manual is not completely understood, consult an authorized dealer for
a complete explanation. OPS-U- 0007
Do not mount or dismount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount
the Tractor only when the Tractor and all moving parts are completely
stopped.
(SG-12)
4.1 Boarding the Tractor
Use both hands and equipped handrails and steps for support when boarding the tractor. Never use control
levers for support when mounting the tractor. Seat yourself in the operator’s seat and secure the seat belt
around you.
Never allow passengers to ride on the tractor or attached equipment. Riders can easily fall off and be
seriously injured or killed from falling off and being ran over. It is the operator’s responsibility to forbid all extra
riders at all times. OPS-U- 0008
Never allow children to operate, ride on, or come close to the Tractor or
Implement. Usually, 16-17 year-old children who are mature and
responsible can operate the implement with adult supervision, if they
have read and understand the Operator’s Manuals, been trained in
proper operation of the tractor and Implement, and are physically large
enough to reach and operate the controls easily.

4.2 Dismounting the Tractor
Before dismounting, park the tractor and implement on a reasonably level surface, apply the parking brake,
idle the engine down, disengage the PTO, and lower the implement to the ground. Shut down the tractor
engine according to the operator’s manual, remove the key, and wait for all motion to completely stop. Never
leave the seat until the tractor, its engine and all moving parts have come to a complete stop.
Use hand rails and steps when exiting the tractor. Be careful of your step and use extra caution when mud,
ice, snow or other matter has accumulated on the steps or hand rails. Use all handrails and steps for support
and never rush or jump off the tractor. OPS-U- 0009
STARTING THE TRACTOR
The operator must have a complete understanding of the placement, function, and operational use of all
tractor controls before starting the tractor. Review the tractor operator’s manual and consult an authorized
dealer for tractor operation instructions if needed.
Essential Tractor Controls:
Locate the light control switch.
Locate the engine shut off control.
Locate the brake pedals and the clutch.
Locate the PTO control.
Locate the 3-point hitch control lever.

hydraulic 3-point lift controls while someone is directly behind the tractor.
1. Make certain the implement’s upper and lower
hitch pins are secured.
2. Lower the tractor’s 3-point lift until the three
Quick-Hitch hooks are lower than the
implements hitch pins. Carefully back the
tractor to align the Quick-Hitch hooks under the
implement’s hitch pins.
3. Slowly raise the tractor’s 3-point lift until the
lower Quick-hitch hooks lock into place over the
implement’s 3-point hitch pins.
IMPORTANT: Make certain the implement’s top 3-
point hitch pin is captured by the Quick-Hitch top 3-
point hook. If not consult your Quick Hitch manual
for required adjustment.
IMPORTANT: The Quick Hitch will more mower
further from tractor which will require checking the
following:
1. Driveline length

5.4 Safety Tow Chain
If the mower is towed on a public roadway, a safety chain with tensile strength equal to or greater than the
gross weight of the mower must be connected between the tractor and mower. This will help control the
implement in the event the tongue becomes disconnected from the drawbar. Make sure the chain is attached
to a secure location on the tractor and not to an intermediate support.
After connecting both ends of the safety chain, drive the tractor to the right and left to check for proper chain
length. Adjust length as necessary and allow only enough slack in the chain to make a maximum turn in both
directions. When not in use, store the safety chain to protect it from mud or standing water by wrapping the
chain around the tongue. Replace the safety chain if one or more links or end fittings are broken, stretched or
otherwise damaged or deformed. OPS-U-0039

6. SETTING THE MOWER
Properly setting the cutting height is essential for efficient and safe operation. A properly set mower will make
a more uniform cut, distribute clippings more evenly, require minimal tractor work, and follow the contour of
uneven terrain. NOTE: Avoid very low cutting heights, striking the ground with the blades gives the most
damaging shock loads and will cause damage to the mower and drive. Blades contacting the ground may
cause objects to be thrown out from under the mower deck. Always avoid operating the mower at a height
which causes the blades to contact the ground. OPS-U- 0010

OPERATION
5. Level the mower side to side by manipulating
one lower lift arm length. On most tractors, at
least one of the lift arms is designed to allow for
manipulation of its length. Shortening or
extending will allow for deck leveling from side
to side.
6. Securely block up the mower at this height.
7. Remove the bolts securing the tailwheel beam
in position and allow the tailwheel to rest at
ground level. Align tailwheel beam between
nearest sets of holes in beam support brackets

correct PTO shaft and the drawbar is extended
14” from the end of the PTO shaft to the hitch
point.
2. Block the mower wheels in place and use the
attached parking jack to raise or lower the
tongue clevis to the height of the tractor
drawbar. The parking jack can be rotated 15
degrees in each direction to obtain a near
vertical position. Note: Always place jack foot on
firm surface or place board under jack for
support.
3. Board the tractor and start the engine. Back the
tractor to the mower aligning the drawbar hitch
hole with the mower hitch clevis. Turn off the
engine, secure the tractor in position, and
dismount.
4. To attach the mower, place two 1” flatwashers (1) positioned under top lip of tongue clevis and to the top of
drawbar. Add additional 1” flatwashers (2) between the bottom of drawbar and bottom lip of clevis to fill
open space. Insert a 3/4” x 4-1/2” grade 5 or 8 bolt (3) through clevis and drawbar and retain in position
with a 1” locknut (4). The bolt and locknut should be tightened securely to support the tongue properly
without springing of breaking the clevis. Never attach mower to the tractor with a pin not having a nut.
5. Securely attach mower safety chain from mower tongue to tractor drawbar or drawbar support frame.
6. Lower the jack until the tongue is completely supported by the drawbar. Remove jack from the tongue and
place on storage bracket of mower main frame.
7. If using a hydraulic cylinder, connect hydraulic hose ends into tractor hydraulic ports. Pressure may need
to be relieved from the system to allow for ease of attachment.
8. If the mower has been attached to a 3-point hitch drawbar, adjust any tractor equipped lower link check
chains, guide blocks, or sway blocks to prevent the hitch and mower from swaying side to side.

6.4 Setting Deck Pitch
Lower Horse Power - Better Fuel Efficiency
To increase fuel efficiency and lower horsepower
requirements for mower operation, the mower
should be operated with the deck approximately 3/4"
LOWER IN THE FRONT THAN THE REAR.
Operating the mower at this pitch will allow the
mower to cut the grass only once and requires less
work from the tractor.
Increase Mulching
To increase mulching of the grass or crop material
during mower operation, the mower should be
operated with the deck approximately 3/4" HIGHER
IN THE FRONT THAN THE REAR.
Operating the mower at this pitch will allow the
mower to cut the grass twice and can result in a
more even cut and improved distribution of the cut
material.

measure 3” back from universal joint shield and
mark on opposite section. Do this for both
sections.
4. Do this for both sections.
5. Raise and lower cutter to determine position
with greatest distance between PTO shaft and
gearbox input shaft. Shut down tractor leaving
cutter in position of greatest distance. Securely
block cutter in position.
6. Hold driveline sections parallel to each other
and check for minimum 6” overlap. If driveline
has been marked for cutting, overlap will be the
distance between two marks. if driveline has
less than minimum overlap, do not use. Contact
authorized Bush Hog dealer.
NOTE: If driveline is the correct length, omit the
following steps 8 - 11 and proceed to step 12.
When attaching the Implement input driveline to the Tractor PTO, it is important that the
connecting yoke spring activated locking collar slides freely and the locking balls are seated
securely in the groove on the Tractor PTO shaft. Push and pull the driveline back and forth
several times to ensure it is securely attached. A driveline not attached correctly to the
Tractor PTO shaft could come loose and result in personal injury and damage to the
Implement.

9. DRIVING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT
Safe tractor transport requires the operator possess a thorough knowledge of the model being operated and
precautions to take while driving with an attached implement. Ensure the tractor has the capacity to handle the
weight of the implement and the tractor operating controls are set for safe transport. To ensure safety while
driving the tractor with an attached implement, review the following. OPS-U- 0012
Never run the Tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation. The
exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health.
(SG-23)
Transport only at speeds where you can maintain control of the
equipment. Serious accidents and injuries can result from operating this
equipment at high speeds. Understand the Tractor and Implement and
how it handles before transporting on streets and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering
and brakes are in good condition and operate properly.
Before transporting the Tractor and Implement, determine the proper transport speeds for
you and the equipment. Make sure you abide by the following rules:
Test the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly. Apply the Brakes smoothly
to determine the stopping characteristics of the Tractor and Implement. As you increase
the speed of the Tractor the stopping distance increases. Determine the maximum
transport speed not to exceed 20 mph (30 kph) for transporting this equipment.
Test the equipment at a slow speed in turns. Increase the speed through the turn only after
you determine that the equipment can be operated at a higher speed. Use extreme care
and reduce your speed when turning sharply to prevent the tractor and implement from
turning over. Determine the maximum turning speed for you and this equipment before
operating on roads or uneven ground.
Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds which allow you to properly control
the equipment.
Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes
or worn tires. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance
increases: use extreme care and reduce your speed. When operating in traffic always use
the Tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around you
and watch out for the other guy.
(SG-19)
OPERATION
326/327 06/12 Operation Section 4-30

OPERATION
9.1 Starting the Tractor
The procedure to start the tractor is model specific.
Refer to the tractor operator’s manual for starting
procedures for your particular tractor. Consult an
authorized dealer if the starting procedure is
unclear. Ensure the 3-point control lever is in the
lowered position and the PTO is disengaged before
starting the tractor. OPS-U-0033
9.2 Brake and Differential Lock Setting
Make sure the tractor brakes are in good operating
condition. Tractor brakes can be set to operate
independently allowing single rear wheel braking
action or locked together to provide simultaneous
rear wheel braking. FOR MOST DRIVING AND
OPERATING CONDITIONS, THE BRAKE PEDALS
SHOULD BE LOCKED TOGETHER TO PROVIDE
THE MOST EFFECTIVE BRAKING ACTION.
Always disengage the tractor differential lock when
turning. When engaged the differential lock will
prevent or limit the tractor from turning. During
normal cutting conditions, locking the differential
provides no benefit and should not be used. OPS-
U- 0013
Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes.
When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance increases; use
extreme care and reduce your speed in these conditions. When operating in traffic, always
use the Tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around
you and watch out for the other guy.

OPERATION
9.3 Raising the Mower
Using the tractor 3-point hitch control lever, raise
the mower off the ground about 6”, or just high
enough to clear any ground obstacles. When
raising the mower, make sure all connection points
are securely attached and at least 1” clearance is
maintained between the driveline and the deck. If
necessary, place an upper lift stop on the 3-point
hitch control lever to limit the height the mower can
be raised to avoid driveline damage
. OPS-R-0042
9.4 Driving the Tractor and Mower
Start off driving at a slow speed and gradually increase your speed while maintaining complete control of the
tractor and mower. Moving slowly at first will also prevent the tractor from rearing up and loss of steering
control. The tractor should never be operated at speeds that cannot be safely handled or which will prevent
the operator from stopping quickly during an emergency. If the power steering or engine ceases operating,
stop the tractor immediately as the tractor will be difficult to control.
Perform turns with the tractor and mower at slow
speeds to determine how the tractor with an
attached mower handles a turn. Determine the
safe speed to maintain proper control of the tractor
when making turns. When turning with a towed
implement, the overall working length of the unit is
increased. Allow additional clearance for the
mower when turning.
To avoid overturns, drive the tractor with care and
at safe speeds, especially when operating over
rough ground, crossing ditches or slopes, and
turning corners. Tractor wheel tread spacing
should be increased when working on inclines or
rough ground to reduce the possibility of tipping.
Use extreme caution when operating on steep
slopes. Keep the tractor in a low gear when going
downhill. DO NOT coast or free-wheel downhill.
OPS-R-0019

OPERATION
9.5 Crossing Ditches and Steep Inclines
When crossing ditches with steep banks or going up
sharp inclines, it is possible that the main driveline
inner profile will penetrate into the outer housing to its
maximum depth until the assembly becomes solid
(driveline is at its extreme shortest length). This type
of abusive operation can cause serious damage to
the tractor and mower drive by pushing the PTO into
the tractor and through the support bearings or
downward onto the PTO shaft, breaking it off.
Damage resulting from over-collapse of the driveline’s inner profile and its outer housing
may allow the driveline to come loose from the Tractor which could cause bodily injury to the
operator or bystanders and/or extensive damage to the Tractor or Implement. OPS-R-0020
When confronted with an incline or ditch, do not
approach from an angle which is perpendicular or
straight on as damage to or over-collapse of the
driveline may occur. OPS-R-0021_A
OPERATION
326/327 06/12 Operation Section 4-33
© 2012 Alamo Group Inc.
OPERATION
Inclines and ditches should be approached along a
line which is at an angle as shown. This type of
path will reduce the possibility of over-collapse of
the driveline and resulting damage. If the gradient
is so steep that such an approach increases the
possibility of a tractor roll-over, select an alternate
crossing path.
When operating the tractor and mower across
slopes and inclines, through ditches, and other
uneven terrain conditions, it is important to maintain
sufficient deck to ground clearance. Blade contact
with the ground may cause soil, rocks and other
debris to be thrown out from under the mower
resulting in possible injury and/or property damage.
Ground contact also produces a severe shock load
on the mower drive and to the mower blades
resulting in possible damage and premature wear.
OPS-R-0022
10. OPERATING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT
THE OPERATOR MUST COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND HOW TO OPERATE THE TRACTOR AND
IMPLEMENT AND ALL CONTROLS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE. The operator must read and
understand the Safety and Operation Sections of the implement and tractor operator’s manuals. These
manuals must be read and explained to any operator who cannot read. Never allow someone to operate the
implement and tractor without complete operating instructions.
Before starting any operation, the operator must become familiar with the area to be worked in and any
obstacles and hazards contained within to ensure safety to the operator, bystanders, and equipment. Special
attention should be paid to foreign debris, rough terrain, steep slopes, and passersby and animals in the area.
OPS-U- 0015
Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects such
as gravel, rocks, wire, and other debris. Inspect the area before
mowing. Foreign objects should be removed from the site to prevent
machine damage and/or bodily injury or even death. Any objects that
cannot be removed must be clearly marked and carefully avoided by the
operator. Stop mowing immediately if blades strike a foreign object.
Repair all damage and make certain rotor or blade carrier is balanced
before resuming mowing.
(SGM-05)
OPERATION
326/327 06/12 Operation Section 4-34
© 2012 Alamo Group Inc.
OPERATION
Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the
operating parts of the mower head. These items could then swing outside the housing at
greater velocities than the blades. Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could result
in serious injury or even death. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before mowing.
Remove any like object from the site. Never allow the cutting blades to contact such items.
(SGM-06)
10.1 Foreign Debris Hazards
Before mowing, inspect the area to make sure
there are no foreign objects that the mower blades
could hit or become entangled with. Remove all
foreign objects and debris. If objects are too big to
remove, mark them clearly and be sure to prevent
the mower blades from contacting them.
If you hit a solid object or foreign debris, stop the
mower and tractor at once. Immediately idle the
engine speed and disengage the PTO. Wait for all
mower rotating motion to stop, then raise the
mower and move the tractor and implement off the
object. Inspect the area and remove, or mark the
location of the debris. Inspect the condition of the
mower and make any needed repairs immediately.
Make sure the blades are not damaged and the
carrier is balanced before resuming operation.
Always wear your seat belt securely fastened and
only operate the tractor and mower with the ROPS
in the raised position. If the tractor or mower hits a
tree stump, rock, or bump, a sudden movement
could throw you off of the seat and under the
tractor and/or mower. The seat belt is your best
protection from falling off the tractor and the ROPS
provides protection from being crushed during a
tractor roll-over. OPS-R-0023
Remove Foreign Material
Raise Mower over solid objects
10.2 Bystanders/Passersby Precautions
If a bystander comes within 300 feet of the tractor while the mower is being operated, stop the tractor at once,
idle the engine and disengage the PTO. Do not engage the PTO again until all bystanders are well past the
300 foot distance. OPS-R-0024
OPERATION
326/327 06/12 Operation Section 4-35
© 2012 Alamo Group Inc.
OPERATION
Rotary Mowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing
objects for great distances (300 ft (100 m) or more) and causing serious
injury or death. Follow safety messages carefully.
STOP MOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 300 Feet (100 m) UNLESS:
-Front and Rear Deflectors, Chain Guards, or Bands are installed and in good, workable
condition;
-Mower sections or Wings are running close to and parallel to the ground without exposed
Blades;
-Passersby are outside the existing thrown-object zone;
-All areas have been thoroughly inspected and all foreign material such as rocks, cans,
glass, and general debris has been removed.
NOTE: Where there are grass and weeds high enough to hide debris that could be struck
by the blades, the area should be: inspected and large debris removed, mowed at an
intermediate height, inspected, closely with any remaining debris being removed, and
mowed again at desired final height. (This will also reduce power required to mow, reduce
wear and tear on the Mower drivetrain, spread cut material better, reduce streaking, and
make the final cut more uniform).
(SRM-01)
10.3 Engaging the Power Take Off (PTO)
Before engaging the PTO, make certain that the area is clear of bystanders and passersby. The implement
must be completely lowered and the deck positioned at a safe operating height. NEVER engage the PTO with
the implement in the raised position.
Set the tractor engine speed at approximately 1,000 RPM before engaging the PTO. Shift the PTO control to
the on position, and slowly increase the engine speed until the PTO is operating at the rated speed. If you
hear unusual noises or see or feel abnormal vibrations, disengage the PTO immediately. Inspect the
implement to determine the cause of the noise or vibration and repair the abnormality. OPS-U- 0027
Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for any
reason, including clearance or for turning. Raising the Mower deck
exposes the Cutting Blades which creates a potentially serious hazard
and could cause serious injury or even death from objects thrown from
the Blades.
(SRM-07)
Do not put hands or feet under mower decks. Blade Contact can result
in serious injury or even death. Stay away until all motion has stopped
and the decks are securely blocked up.
(SGM-09)
OPERATION
326/327 06/12 Operation Section 4-36

OPERATION
10.4 PTO RPM and Ground Speed
Ground speed for mowing will depend upon the height, type, and density of vegetation to be cut.
Recommended speed for efficient mower performance is between 2 and 5 mph(3-8 kph). Operate the mower
at its full rated PTO speed to maintain blade speed for a clean cut. Refer to the tractor operator’s manual or
the tractor instrument panel for the engine speed and gear to provide the required PTO and desired ground
speed. Make sure that the mower is operating at its full rated speed before entering the vegetation to be cut.
If it becomes necessary to temporarily regulate engine speed, increase or decrease the throttle gradually.
Ground speed is achieved by transmission gear selection and not by the engine operating speed. The
operator may be required to experiment with several gear range combinations to determine the best gear and
range which provides the most ideal performance from the mower and most efficient tractor operation. As the
severity of cutting conditions increase, the ground speed should be decreased by selecting a lower gear to
maintain the proper operating PTO speed. OPS-R-0025
Do not exceed the rated PTO speed for the Implement. Excessive PTO speeds can cause
Implement driveline or blade failures resulting in serious injury or death.
(SG-26)
Mow at the speed that you can safely operate and control the tractor and mower. The
correct mowing speed depends on terrain condition and grass type, density, and height of
cut. Normal ground speed range is from 2 to 5 mph(3-8 kph). Use slow mowing speeds
when operating on or near steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power
lines, or when debris and foreign objects are to be avoided.
(SGM-07)
10.5 Operating the Mower
Only operate the mower from the tractor operator’s seat with the seatbelt securely fastened. The tractor must
be equipped with a ROPS in the raised position or a ROPS cab.
The mower is designed to cut vegetation up to 2-1/2” in diameter. Sharp blades will produce a cleaner cut and
require less power. Travel at a speed that allows the mower sufficient time to cut through the vegetation and
maintain the PTO operating speed to prevent overloading the mower and tractor. Choose a driving pattern
that provides the maximum pass length and minimizes turning.
Under certain conditions, tractor tires may roll some grasses down preventing them from being cut at the
same height as the surrounding area. When this occurs, reduce the tractor ground speed while maintaining
the operating speed of the mower. A slower ground speed will permit grasses to at least partially rebound and
be cut. Taking a partial cut and/or reversing the direction of travel may also help produce a cleaner cut.
Avoid mowing in the reverse direction when possible. In situations where the mower must be backed to
access areas to be cut, make sure there are no persons or other foreign debris behind the mower before
mowing in reverse. When mowing in reverse, operate the tractor and mower at a reduced ground speed to
ensure tractor and mower control is maintained. OPS-R-0026_F
Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors with the windows
closed.
(SGM-11)
OPERATION

OPERATION
Mow only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with adequate artificial
lighting. Never mow in darkness or foggy conditions where you cannot clearly see at least
300 feet (90 m) in front and to the sides of the tractor and mower. Make sure that you can
clearly see and identify passersby, steep slopes, ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions,
power lines, debris and foreign objects. If you are unable to clearly see these type of items
discontinue mowing.
(SGM-1)
Avoid mowing in reverse direction when possible. Check to make sure there are no
persons behind the mower and use extreme care when maneuvering in reverse. Mow only
at a slow ground speed where you can safely operate and control the tractor and mower.
Never mow an area that you have not inspected and removed debris or foreign material.
(SGM-08)
Follow these guidelines to reduce the risk of equipment and grass fires
while operating, servicing, and repairing the Mower and Tractor:
-Equip the Tractor with a fire extinguisher in an accesible location.
-Do Not operate the Mower on a Tractor with an underframe exhaust.
-Do Not smoke or have an open flame near the Mower and Tractor.
-Do Not drive into burning debris or freshly burnt areas.
-Ensure slip clutches are properly adjusted to prevent excessive slippage and plate heating.
-Never allow clippings or debris to collect near drivelines, slip clutches, and gearboxes.
Periodically shut down the Tractor and Mower and clean clippings and collected debris from
the mower deck.
(SGM-12)
When you get to the end of a pass, slightly raise the
mower (2-4”) before turning. Never raise the
mower entirely while the blades are turning. If the
mower must be raised higher than 12” from ground
level, disengage the tractor PTO and wait for all
mower rotation to come to a complete stop before
proceeding to raise the mower. OPS-R-0027_B

. OPS-R-0043
Then lower the mower to the desired height and
mow the vegetation a second time. If possible,
select a mowing pattern that is at a 90 degree angle
to the first pass to reduce streaking for a more
uniform cut. OPS-R-0044
Stay alert and watch for trees, low hanging limbs,
power lines, and other overhead obstacles and solid
ground objects while you are operating. Use care

OPERATION
Do not mow, or drive the tractor into material that is burning, or areas that recently burnt and may contain hot
spots. Burning material, sparks, and coals could be thrown from the mower to areas of vegetation that might
ignite. Tire damage can occur when driving over hot material. Oil and grease on the tractor and mower could
ignite resulting in equipment destruction. Carry a fire extinguisher on the tractor at all times to extinguish
possible fires encountered
.
10.6 Right of Way (Highway) Mowing
USE DOUBLE CHAIN GUARDS for highway, right-of-way, parks, greenbelt mowing, or all other mowing
where human dwellings, vehicles, or livestock could be within 300 feet of the mower.
No shielding is 100% effective in preventing thrown objects. To Reduce Possibility of Injury:
9. MAINTAIN MOWER SHIELDING in good operational condition,
10. DAILY INSPECT the condition of the Thrown Object Guards, mower Side Skirts, and skid shoes:
Replace or repair worn or damaged guards.
11. DAILY INSPECT the condition of the Blades and Blade Bolts. Replace any cracked, worn, bent or
damage blades. Always replace blade bolts and nuts when replacing blades. Make sure the blade bolts
are properly tightened.
12. RAISE CUTTING HEIGHT to 6 INCHES minimum.
13. INSPECT AREA thoroughly before mowing to REMOVE potential THROWN OBJECT HAZARDS.
14. NEVER ALLOW BLADES to CONTACT SOLID OBJECTS like wire, rocks, posts, curbs, guardrails, or
ground while mowing.
ROTARY MOWERS CAN THROW OBJECTS 300 FEET OR MORE UNDER ADVERSE
CONDITIONS.
TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO OPERATOR OR BYSTANDERS FROM THROWN

when disconnecting the Implement from the Tractor 3-point hitch.
10.7 Shutting Down the Implement
To shut down attached mower head, first bring the
tractor to a complete stop. Decrease engine RPM
to idle then disengage cutterhead. The mower head
will come to a complete stop within a suitable
amount of time. Do not engage or disengage the
cutterheads at a high RPM unless there is an
emergency situation.
Park the tractor on a level surface, place the
transmission in park or neutral and apply the
parking brake, lower the attached implement to the
ground, shut down the engine, remove the key, and
wait for all motion to come to a complete stop
before exiting the tractor. OPS-U- 0016
11. DISCONNECTING THE MOWER FROM THE TRACTOR
Before disconnecting the mower, the PTO must be
disengaged and blade rotation at a complete stop.
Move the mower to a level storage location and
lower it to the ground. If the mower is not resting
securely on the ground, block the mower up
securely before attempting to disconnect it from
the tractor.

12. MOWER STORAGE
Properly preparing and storing the mower at the end of the season is critical to maintaining its appearance
and to help ensure years of dependable service. The following are suggested storage procedures:
Thoroughly clean all debris off the mower to
prevent damage from rotting grass and
standing water.
Lubricate all mower grease points and fill
gearbox oil levels as detailed in the
maintenance section.
Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommended
torque.
Check the mower for worn and damaged
parts. Perform repairs and make
replacements immediately so that the mower
will be ready for use at the start of the next
season.
Store the mower in a clean, dry place with the
mower housing resting securely on blocks or at ground level.
Keep the driveline yoke from sitting in water, dirt and other contaminants.
Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary to prevent rust and maintain the appearance of the mower.
It is critical that driveline clutches slip when an obstacle or heavy load is encountered to avoid mower and/or
tractor damage. If the mower sits outside for an extended period of time or is exposed to rain and/or humid
air, the clutch lining plates must be inspected to ensure they are not frozen together from rust or corrosion. If
the mower has been exposed to such conditions, at the start of each mowing season, and any time it is
suspected that the slip clutch plates may be frozen together, readjust the slip clutch as detailed in Seasonal
Clutch Maintenance of the maintenance section in this manual. OPS-R-0032_A
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.
Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
(SG-10)
13. TRANSPORTING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT
Inherent hazards of operating the tractor and implement and the possibility of accidents are not left behind
when you finish working in an area. Therefore, the operator must employ good judgement and safe operation
practices when transporting the tractor and implement between locations. By using good judgement and
following safe transport procedures, the possibility of accidents while moving between locations can be
substantially minimized. OPS-U- 0017
OPERATION
326/327 06/12 Operation Section 4-43
© 2012 Alamo Group Inc.
OPERATION
Before transporting the tractor and mower, idle the
tractor engine, disengage the PTO and wait for all
mower moving parts to come to a complete stop.
Once all mower parts are completely stopped, raise
the mower to transport height. NOTE: When
raising the mower, maintain 1” clearance between
the driveline and mower deck. If additional mower
deck height is needed for safe transport, disconnect
the driveline from the tractor and secure its end to
the mower deck. The mower can then be raised to
the maximum lift height. OPS-R-0033_A
If the tractor’s hydraulic pump is not independent of
the tractor PTO, or if the tractor PTO has to be run
to have hydraulic power, disconnect the mower
driveline from the tractor PTO output shaft. Secure
the driveline to the mower deck to prevent driveline
damage or loss during transport. OPS-R-0034
13.1 Transporting on Public Roadways
Extreme caution should be used when transporting the tractor and implement on public roadways. The tractor
must be equipped with all required safety warning features including a SMV emblem and flashing warning
lights to alert drivers of the tractor’s presence. Remember that roadways are primarily designed for
automotive drivers and most drivers will not be looking out for you, therefore, you must look out for them.
Check your side view mirrors frequently and remember that vehicles will approach quickly because of the
tractor’s slower speed. Be extremely cautious when the piece of equipment that you are towing is wider than
the tractor tire width and/or extends beyond your lane of the road.

OPERATION
The SMV (Slow-Moving Vehicle) emblem is
universal symbol used to alert drivers of the
presence of equipment traveling on roadways at a
slow speed. SMV signs are a triangular bright
orange with reflective red trim for both easy day
and night visibility. Make sure the SMV sign is
clean and visible from the rear of the unit before
transporting the tractor and implement on a public
roadway. Replace the SMV emblem if faded,
damaged, or no longer reflective. OPS-U- 0020
Make sure that all tractor flashing warning lights,
headlights, and brake/tail lights are functioning
properly before proceeding onto public roads. While
newer model tractors have plenty of lighting to
provide warning signals and operating lighting, most
older models are only equipped with operating lights.
Consult an authorized tractor dealer for lighting kits
and modifications available to upgrade the lighting on
older tractor models. OPS-U- 0021
When operating on public roads, have
consideration for other road users. Pull to the side
of the road occasionally to allow all following traffic
to pass. Do not exceed the legal speed limit set in
your country for agricultural tractors. Always stay
alert when transporting the tractor and implement
on public roads. Use caution and reduce speed if
other vehicles or pedestrians are in the area. OPS-

13.2 Hauling the Tractor and Implement
Before transporting a loaded tractor and implement, measure the height and width dimensions and gross
weight of the complete loaded unit. Ensure that the load will be in compliance with the legal limits set for the
areas that will be traveled through
Use adequately sized and rated trailers and equipment to transport the tractor and implement. Consult an
authorized dealer to determine the proper equipment required. Using adequately sized chains, heavy duty
straps, cables and/or binders, securely tie down both the front and rear of the tractor utilizing the proper tie
down locations as specified by the tractor manufacturer.
Arrange the chains so that when tightened, the chains are pulling downward and against themselves.
Carefully tighten the securing chains or other fasteners using boomers or binders to apply maximum tension.
Use extreme care when attaching and removing the securing devices as the extreme tension involved when
released has the potential to inflict serious injury.
While hauling the tractor and implement, make occasional stops to check that the tractor and implement have
not moved or shifted and that the securing chains have maintained tension. If during transport a hard braking,
sharp turning, or swerving action was performed, stop at the next safe location to inspect the security of the
load.
Reduce speed before turning or applying the brakes.
Ensure that both brake pedals are locked together
when operating on public roads. OPS-U- 0023

BLADE SERVICING
Inspect blades before each use to determine that they are properly installed and in good condition. Replace
any blade that is bent, excessively nicked, worn, or has any other damage. Small nicks can be ground out
when sharpening.
Use only original equipment blades on this cutter. They are made of special heat-treated
alloy steel. Substitute blades may not meet specifications and may fail in a hazardous
manner that could cause injury.
Replace bent or broken blade with new blades. NEVER ATTEMPT TO STRAIGHTEN OR
WELD ON BLADES SINCE THIS WILL LIKELY CRACK OR OTHERWISE DAMAGE THE
BLADE WITH SUBSEQUENT FAILURE AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY FROM
THROWN BLADES.
(SGM-10)
Manually wiggle the glade carriers to check for any looseness.
Retighten any loose parts.
Recheck torque every 50 hours.
Operating with loose blade hardware will damage the blade holder and blades. Whenever
the blades have been removed or replaced, the hardware must be retightened after the first
eight hours of operation. On new units check blade hardware and the blade nut torque after
first 8 hours.
Operating with loose blade holder will damage the blade holder and output shaft, two initial
tightenings are required. Retighten after one hour and again after the day of operation. In
severe cutting conditions or commercial use, a daily inspection is required.
To help prevent structural damage caused by loose hardware, tighten gear case hardware
as specified. Check torque after first 8 hours of use and every 50 hours thereafter.
NOTE: Correct Blade Rotation is counter-clockwise viewed from the top.
Inspect Blades daily for normal wear. If Blades have a notch worn into the leading worn into
the leading edge at the lower bend more than 1/2” DEEP (due to running in gravel and/or
the ground), REPLACE BOTH BLADES ON THAT CARRIER IMMEDIATELY. Failure to
replace such abnormally worn blades may lead to catastrophic failure of the blade and
ejection of the broken part with tremendous force which may cause bodily injury or death.
NOTE: Replace Blades in pairs after no more than 1/2” notch wear.
IMPORTANT: Scan this QR Code with your smart phone to link to the ADMA

BLADE SHARPENING
When sharpening blades, grind each blade the same amount to maintain balance. Follow
original sharpening pattern as shown in Figure Mnt-R-0008. Always sharpen blades by
grinding. Always sharpen both blades at same time to maintain balance. The difference in
blade weights should not exceed 1 ounce. Unbalanced blades will cause excessive
vibration which can damage gear box bearings. Vibration may also cause structural cracks
in cutter housing. DO NOT heat and pound out edge. Do not sharpen blade to a razor edge,
but leave a 1/16” blunt edge. Do not sharpen back side of blade.
Avoid personal injury. Always block the cutter up to prevent if from falling when the blades
and/ or carrier are being serviced.
BLADE CARRIER REMOVAL
Remove cotter pin and loosen slotted nut on gearbox shaft. Loosen but do not remove the nut until the blade
carrier is loosened. Use a suitable 2 jaw gear puller to pull carrier off tapered gearbox shaft. If gear puller is not
available use long bar inserted through blade bolt access hole with end against rotor bar. Strike opposite end of
bar with sledge hammer. Rotate blade carrier 180 degrees and repeat process until carrier breaks loose.
MAINTENANCE
326/327 03/12 Maintenance Section 5-11

MAINTENANCE
BLADE CARRIER INSTALLATION
Clean the splines on both the blade carrier and output shaft. Position carrier on the gearbox output shaft and
install special washer nut.
Tighten nut holding blade carrier to minimum 600 ft. pounds, strike the carrier near the hub several times with a
heavy hammer to seat the hub. Use a suitable spacer over the nut to prevent damage to the nut and threads.
Retighten the nut to 600 ft. pounds. Install cotter pin and spread.
Operating the mower with a loose blade pan or holder can damage the taper connection on
the gearbox output shaft. To ensure proper seating between the blade holder and output
shaft, check and tighten the retaining nut after the first day of operation. Recheck the blade
carrier attachment each morning before operating. Grasp the carrier firmly with both hands
and try to push and pull the carrier with one hand while pulling and pushing with the other
hand to try to rock or oscillate the blade carrier. If the carrier is loose, retighten the retaining
nut before operating the mower.
Always recheck gearbox output shaft slotted blade carrier retaining nut torque after a few
hours operation.
Avoid personal injury. Do not work under cutter without support blocks to keep frame from
falling.
BLADE REMOVAL
Remove locknut from blade bolt through inspection hole in deck of mower near the gearbox to remove blades
for sharpening or replacement. See Figure MntP-R-0057. Always replace nut when replacing blade bolt.
When installing blades be sure and check blade bolt pivot diameter for wear. Replace bolt if worn more than 1/
4 inch at any point. Tighten lock nut to 600 ft. lbs.

SLIP CLUTCH OPERATIONAL CHECK
NOTE: After implement has been stored for 30 days or more, perform the following operational check:
1. Loosen eight nuts retaining clutch springs 1/3 turn or until spring can be turned with fingers.
2. With tractor at idle speed, engage tractor PTO drive for 2-3 seconds. Clutch should lip without turning
blades. If clutch does not slip, contact your authorized Bush Hog dealer.
3. Retighten nuts to within 1/64” of original position. Initial spring length is shown in Figure Mnt-R-0538.
Overtightening spring nuts may cause damage to implement and/or tractor due to incorrect
slip clutch torque setting. Always follow the proper adjustment procedure.
SLIP CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
The slip clutch is factory present to the correct torque for protecting implement and tractor. Periodic adjustment
is recommended. Should adjustment be needed, first check to be sure all spring lengths are the same. Initial
spring length is shown in Figure Mnt-R-0538. If necessary, adjust nut on any spring that is unequal. Adjust all
eight spring retaining nuts 1/3 of a turn (2 flats on a nut) and check clutch slippage. If further adjustment is
necessary, do so in 1/3 turn increments. Adjust only to provide sufficient torque to prevent slippage under
normal conditions. Occasional slippage is normal for driveline protection. If satisfactory results cannot be
obtained, consult you Bush Hog dealer.
Do not overtighten nut and cause spring to become solid as this will cause shaft to fail.
All Safety Shields, Guards and Safety devices including (but not
limited to) - the Deflectors, Chain Guards, Steel Guards, Gearbox
Shields, PTO integral shields, and Retractable Door Shields should
be used and maintained in good working condition. All safety
devices should be inspected carefully at least daily for missing or
broken components. Missing, broken, or worn items must be
replaced at once to reduce the possibility of injury or death from
thrown objects, entanglement, or blade contact.
