3 Point Hitch Tractor PTO Driven Disc Drum Mower Working Principle

A 3-point hitch tractor PTO driven disc drum mower is a type of agricultural machinery used for cutting grass, hay, or other vegetation. The working principle of a PTO driven disc drum mower can be summarized as follows:

1. Attachment to the tractor: The disc drum mower is connected to the tractor using a 3-point hitch system. The hitch allows for easy attachment and detachment of the mower and provides stability during operation.
2. Power transmission: The mower is powered by the tractor's PTO, which is a mechanical device located at the rear of the tractor. The PTO transfers power from the tractor's engine to the mower through a rotating driveshaft.
3. Cutting mechanism: The cutting mechanism of a disc drum mower consists of a set of rotating discs or drums that are equipped with cutting knives. These discs or drums spin rapidly when the PTO is engaged, creating a cutting action.
4. Ground contact and movement: The mower is lowered to the desired cutting height using hydraulic or mechanical controls. The weight of the mower and the downward pressure exerted by the tractor's hydraulic system ensure good ground contact for effective cutting. The tractor's wheels or skids provide stability and control the height of the cut.
5. Cutting action: As the tractor moves forward, the rotating discs or drums cut the vegetation in their path. The cutting knives mounted on the discs or drums make clean, precise cuts, and the cut vegetation is discharged to the side or rear of the mower.

How to Install the 3 Point Hitch Disc Drum Mower to Tractor?

Installing a 3-point hitch disc or drum mower to a tractor involves several steps to ensure a secure connection for safe and efficient operation. Here's a general guide to help you with the installation process:

1. Position the Tractor and Mower: Position the tractor on a flat, stable surface. Align the mower so that its 3-point hitch arms are close to the tractor's hitch points.
2. Attach the Mower to the Tractor: Lower the 3-Point Hitch: Lower the tractor's 3-point hitch to its lowest position to easily align the hitch arms with the mower's mounting points. Attach the mower's lower hitch points to the tractor's lower arms. Insert the hitch pins and secure them with retaining clips. Attach the top link of the tractor to the mower's top hitch point. Adjust the length of the top link to ensure the mower will be level with the ground once lifted. Secure the connection with a hitch pin and retaining clip.
3. Connect the PTO Shaft: Slide the PTO shaft of the mower onto the tractor's PTO stub. Ensure the locking pins engage securely. The shaft may need to be adjusted for length; refer to the manual for instructions on making these adjustments. Ensure there is enough clearance for the PTO shaft to move as the tractor and mower articulate over uneven terrain. A PTO shaft that is too long or too short can cause damage or disengage during operation.
4. Inspect All Connections: Double-check all hitch points and the PTO connection to ensure they are secure. Lift the mower using the tractor's 3-point hitch and verify that it moves freely and that there is adequate clearance between the mower and the tractor. Ensure that all safety shields and guards, particularly on the PTO shaft, are in place and secure.
5. Test the Mower: With the tractor in an open area, start the engine and engage the PTO at a low speed to observe the mower's operation. Listen for any unusual noises or vibrations that could indicate a problem. Make any necessary adjustments to the top link or PTO shaft length based on the mower's performance during the test.

Common Troubleshooting of the Alfalfa Cutter Disc Mower

Troubleshooting common issues with a 3-point hitch disc or drum mower is essential for maintaining its performance and ensuring a smooth operation. Here are some frequent problems and their potential solutions:

1. Mower Won't Lift: Hydraulic issues in the tractor, incorrect hitch connection, or malfunctioning hydraulic lift system. Check the tractor's hydraulic fluid level and refill if necessary. Ensure the 3-point hitch is correctly connected. Inspect the hydraulic lift system for leaks or damage and repair as needed.
2. Uneven Cutting: Dull or damaged blades, incorrect cutting height adjustment, mower not level, or uneven ground. Sharpen or replace the blades. Adjust the cutting height and ensure the mower is level by adjusting the top link or side links of the 3-point hitch. Mow at a speed suitable for the terrain to avoid scalping on uneven ground.
3. Mower Vibrates Excessively: Unbalanced or damaged blades, loose hardware, damaged PTO shaft, or misaligned mower. Check and balance or replace blades. Tighten any loose nuts, bolts, and other hardware. Inspect the PTO shaft for damage or misalignment and repair or replace it as necessary. Ensure the mower is correctly aligned and attached to the 3-point hitch.
4. PTO Shaft Problems: The PTO shaft is too long or too short, not properly secured, or damaged universal joints. Adjust the PTO shaft length according to the tractor and mower manual instructions. Ensure the PTO shaft is properly secured before use. Inspect and replace damaged universal joints or the entire PTO shaft if necessary.
5. Mower Doesn't Discharge Cuttings Properly: Clogged discharge chute, high moisture content in the grass, or cutting speed too fast. Clear any debris from the discharge chute. If the grass is wet, wait for drier conditions or reduce the mower's speed to allow for the proper discharge of cuttings.
6. Difficulty Attaching or Detaching the Mower: Misalignment of hitch points, bent or damaged hitch pins, or insufficient clearance. Ensure that the tractor and mower are on level ground when attaching or detaching. Check and straighten or replace any bent or damaged hitch pins. Adjust the tractor's hydraulic lift or move the mower manually to align hitch points correctly.
