Tractor selection
When choosing a tractor, you should make certain that the rotary
mower and the tractor form a stable unit during operation.
The tractor must be equipped with a front mounting unit with a oating
position function. If the tractor does not have a oating setting, it must
either be equipped with one or the mower must be equipped with a
tting frame with moveable arms.
Rotary mowers types RK/LH, TM/TH and FR/LK may only be tted and
used on tractors that are equipped with operating hydraulics, or tted
with an external hydraulic system. The hydraulic system's operating
lever must be lockable.
Triplex type rotary mowers may only be tted and used on tractors
that are equipped with at least two single or double-acting hydraulic
connections. Both must have a lockable oating position function.
• TM/TH, FR, HP
• BM/FM/FH model P, TM/TH, FR, THM, HC/HCH, R3H
• BM/FM/FH model P, THM/TH

Tractor selection
Noise The driver will be exposed to a noise level in the tractor cabin between
74-85 dB (A). These gures originate from data provided by most
tractor manufacturers in their product specications. The noise varies
between a minimum measured value (machine unloaded) and a
maximum measured value (machine loaded).
The gures require that the machine is tted to a tractor with a cab
that is noise protected with closed windows, and which operates in
an open environment. In addition, the recommended operating speed
is 4-10 km/h. The noise levels also require that the grass length is
10-15 cm and that there is no wind.
If the cab windows, roof window or similar are open, the noise level will
exceed the values stated here.
The rotary mower does not emit any specic type of noise. This means
that the tractor driver will only be exposed to noise from the tractor
itself.
If the driver nds the noise uncomfortable when operating the machine,
GMR maskiner a/s recommends that the driver should wear ear
protection.
