Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by an operator’s single careless act.

In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident preven­tion are dependent upon the awareness, concern,
judgement, and proper training of personnel
involved in the operatio n, transport, maintena nce
and storage of equipment.

It has been said “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that
kind of operator.

Driveline Attachment

Attach the cutter to the tractor 3-point hitch (or quick
hitch if available). Do not attach driveline. Raise and
lower cutter to de termine maximum and m inimum dis­tance between the tractor PT O shaft and the gearbox
input shaft. If the d is tance is too large, the drivel in e wi ll
be too short for proper engagement. If dista nce is too
small, the driveline may bottom out in operation and
damage the cutter or tractor.

Driveline length must be sufficient to provide at least
1/3 driveline length of engagement during operation.
There must be at least 4 inches of engage ment at the
cutters lowest possi ble point of operation. The drive­line must not bottom out when raise d to the maximum
height possible.

If driveline is to o short please cal l your Woods dealer

on each side. You may twist check chain for fine adjust­ment side to side.

Connect driveline to tractor PTO shaft, making sure the
spring-activated locking collar slides freely and locks
driveline to PTO shaft.

NOTICE

If attaching with quick hitch the distance
between the tractor PTO and gearbox input shaft
will increase. Please follow the steps as you would
for a 3-point hitch to insure proper engagement.

Cutting Height Adjustment for MD80
Mounted Cutter

Place tractor and cutter on a level surface.
The adjustments giv en here are to provide you with a

starting point. Adjustments are approximate and may
vary due to slight differences in blade shimming and
machine wear. You may desire to fine tune them for
your situation.

 Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service , or
maintenance.

■

Avoid very low cutting heights. Striking the
ground with blades produces one of the most dam­aging shock loads a cutter can encounter. Allowing
blades to contact ground repeatedly, will cause
damage to cutter and drive.

Cutting Height Adjustment Without
Tailwheel or Check Chains

The blade is appr oximately 9- 1/4" below th e top of the
cutter deck.

Select a cutting height, EXAMPLE 3".
Use tractor 3-point lift to set fro nt blade 3" above level

surface (measure 12-1/4" from top of dec k to ground).
At the rear, measure from top of deck to ground; adjust
top link until this dist ance is from 12-3/4" to 13" . Adjus t
lower stop of the tractor 3-point lift control. When
adjustment is set, th is will enable you to return to th e
preset cutting height.

Maintain distance from blade tip to level surface from
1/2" to 3/4" higher at rear for best cutting results and
lowest power consumption.

When using cutter for shredding, it is better to set blade
tip lower at the rear. How much lower depends on the
material to be shredded. You will need to experiment to
determine the best setting for your situation.

Cutting Height Adjustment With Tailwheel
or Check Chains

The blade is appr oximately 9- 1/4" below th e top of the
cutter deck.

Select a cutting height, EXAMPLE 3".
Use check chains and t ractor 3-point lift and ra ise top

front of cutter deck 12- 1/4" above the level s urface. At
the rear, measure from top of deck to ground; adjust
tailwheel until this distance is from 12-3/4" to 13".

Figure 5.. Cutting Height Adjustment - MD80

(Mounted Model)

Cutting height may be controlled by several metho ds.
Without the optional check chains and tailwheel it is
controlled with the tractor 3-point lift and top link adjust­ment.

Measure from front edge of cutter frame (on each side)
to ground to be sure cutter is level. Use adjustment on
3-point arms, if neces sary, for fine adjustment si de to
side.

Shorten the check chains to raise front of cutter. Move
tailwheel adjustment to the rear to raise rear of cutter.

ATTACHING CUTTER TO TRACTOR
(PULL-TYPE MODELS)

The cutter is shipped with a 1-3/8" PTO spline. The
horizontal distance be twee n the end of the tr actor PTO
shaft and the drawbar hitch point should be 14". This
distance must not vary more than plus or minus one
inch (±1") or the drive may be damaged when tu rning.
Adjust tractor dr awbar to o btain th e desi red dr awbar t o
hitch point distance. On some tractors, a drawbar kit
must be used to obtain the r equired dimens ion. Check
with your tractor dealer if you encounter problems.

Raise cutter tongue to tractor dr awbar height wi th jack
provided and attac h with a 3/4" or larger high-strengt h
drawbar pin. Retain pin to keep it in place.

Figure 6.

PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST

(Owner’s Responsibility)

___ Check that cutter is properly and securely

attached to tractor.

___ Make sure driveline spring-activated locking pin

slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.

___ On pull-type cutter , make sure the pin to pre vent

crank detachment is installed.
___ Set tractor PTO at 540 rpm.
___ Make sure gearbox is full to fill plug with SAE

90W gear lube.
___ Lubricate all grease fitting locations.
___ Check that all hardware is properly installe d and

secured.
___ Check to ensure blades are sharp and secure

and cutting edge is positioned to lead in a

counter-clockwise rotation.

The blade is approximately 9-1/4" below cutter deck.
Select a cutting height, EXAMPLE 3".
Raise front end of deck with a jack to take the compres-

sion member (1) ou t of compression and remove th e
bolt connecting it to the tongue.

Raise front end of deck until both sides are 12-1/4"
above the ground and block underneath to maintain
this distance.

Raise rear end of deck until it is from 13-3/4" to 14"
above the ground.

Connect compressio n me mbe r (1 ) to tong ue. It may be
necessary to raise or lower rear of deck to align hole.

Remove the blocks f rom under the deck and position
each side skid 1/2" above the ground.

This complete pr ocedure must be fo llowed to properly
set a new cutting height. Raising rear of deck with
crank without changing the compression link position
will result in an incorrect front-to-rear attitude setting.

___ Check that all shields and guards are properly

installed and in good condition.
___ Check cutting height and attitude adjustment.
___ Place tractor PTO and transmission in neutral

before attempting to start engine.
___ Inspect area to be cut and remove stones,

branches or other hard objects that might be

thrown, causing injury or damage.
___ Inspect chain shielding and replace any damaged

or missing links.

STARTING AND STOPPING CUTTER

Cutter operating power is supplied from tractor PTO.
Refer to your tractor manual for PTO engagemen t and
disengagement instructions. Always operate PTO at
540 rpm. Know how to stop tractor and cutter quickly in
case of an emergency.

When engaging PTO, the engine rpm should always be
low. Once engaged and ready to start cutting, raise
PTO speed to 540 rpm and maintain throughout cutting
operation.

Figure 6. Cutting Height Adjustment - D80

(Pull-Type Model)

16 Operation

OPERATING TECHNIQUE

Proper ground speed will depend upon the height, type
and density of material to be cut.

Normally, ground speed will range from 2 to 5 mph. Tall
dense material shoul d be cut at a low spe ed, wh il e thi n
medium-height mater ial can be cut at a hi gher ground
speed.

Always operate P TO at 540 rpm; this is necessary to
maintain proper blade spe ed and produ ce a clean cut .

15914 (Rev. 3/30/2007)

Under certain conditions, tractor tires may roll some

WARNING

WARNING

material down and prevent it from being cut at the
same height as the surrounding area. When this
occurs, reduce tractor ground speed but maintai n 540
rpm PTO speed. The lo wer speed will permit material
to at least partially rebound.

Under some conditions, material will not rebound
enough to be cut evenly, resulting in an uneven
appearance. In general, lower cutting heights give a
more even cut with less tendency to leave tire tracks.

The cutter is equipped with general purpose suction
blades as standard equipment. These blades are
intended for most conditions.

Optional flat blades f or light brush cu tting and optional
high fin blades for stalk shredding are available from
your dealer.

Tips

Extremely tall materi al should be cut twice. Cut mate­rial higher the first pas s. Then cut at de sired height, a t
90° to first pass.

Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and
require less power.

Analyze area to be cut to determine best procedure.
Consider height and typ e of material and terrain type:
hilly, level or rough.

Plan your pattern to travel straight forward whenever
possible.

Uneven Terrain

 Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.
 Do not stop, start, or change directions sud-

denly on slopes.
 Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on

slopes and rough terrain.
 Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during

operation.

Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp
drops to prevent hanging up tractor and cutter.

Practice will imp rove your skills in mane uvering rough
terrain.

STORAGE

Follow these steps when storing your cutter:

1. Store on level, solid ground.

2. Disconnect driveline and secure up off the ground.

3. On pull-type model , attach parking jack and raise

tongue weight off tractor drawbar.

4. Securely block all four corners of deck with jack
stands.

5. Remove hydraulic h oses after tractor is turn ed off
and all system pressure is released by operating
valve levers several times.

 Inspect and clear area of stones, branches, or
other hard objects that might be thrown, caus ing
injury or damage.

6. Remove retainer pin and high strength drawbar

pin.

7. Keep children and by standers away from storage
area.

BLADE SERVICING

 On pull-type units, a pin is installed to prevent
the height adjustment crank from detaching. Do
not operate or service unit unless pin is installed.

Blocking the cutter before working underneath provides
additional safety. If a mechanical or hydraulic failure
occurs, the blocks wil l support the cutter and pre vent
anyone under it from being crushed.

Inspect blades, each time before operating cutter, for
condition and proper installation. Check to be sure
blades are snug but still swivel on blade pin (see Blade
Installation, page 2 0). Replace any blade that is bent,
excessively nicked, worn or has any other damage.
Small nicks can be ground out when sharpening.

LUBRICATION INFORMATION

The accompanying ch art gives the frequency of lubri­cation in oper ating h ours, b ased on normal conditio ns.
Severe or unusual conditions may require more fre­quent lubrication. See Figure 8.

Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,
particularly when operating in sandy areas.

Use an SAE 90W gear lube in gearbox.
Use a lithium grease of No. 2 consistency with a MOLY

(molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations. Be
sure to clean fittings thoroughly before attaching
grease gun. When a pplied accordin g to the lubricatio n
chart, one good pump of most guns is sufficient. Do not
overgrease.

shown, into blad e pin groove. Place b lade pin clip (2)
over keyhole plate an d into blade pin groove. Secu re
with bolt (1). Repeat for opposite blade. See Figure 7.

Blade should be s nug but s wivel on pin witho ut exces ­sive force. Retain any spacers not used in installa tion
for use when blade wears or on future installations.

Blade Sharpening

Always sharpen both blades at the sa me time to main­tain balance. Follow original sharpening pattern. Do not
sharpen blade to a razor edge. Leave from a 1/16" to
1/8" blunt edge. Do not sharpen back side of blade.

Belt Installation

One of the major causes of belt failure is improper
installation.

The drive on this cutter uses three belts. They are a
matched set and must be replaced as such.

Remove belt shields.
Loosen nut on idler adjustment rod (located on right

side of gearbox stand) as loose as possible.
Remove old belts and ins tall new ones . Tighten nut o n

idler adjustment rod. Belts should be very tight.

NOTICE

the first four hours of operation and then every
eight hours.

CHAIN SHIELDING

 Full chain shielding must be installed when
operating in populated areas or other areas where
thrown objects could injure people or damage
property.

• If this machine is not equipped with full chain
shielding, operation must be stopped when any­one comes within 300 feet (92 m).

• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk
of thrown objects. The mower deck and protec­tive devices cannot prevent all objects from
escaping the blade enclosure in ev ery mowing
condition.
and escape, traveling as much as 300 feet (92 m).

It is possible for objects to ricochet

Before new belts are i nstalled , check pul ley shaft s and
bearings for wear. Check pulley grooves for cleanliness
and wear. Be sure they tur n freely and with onl y slight
wobble. If grooves require cleaning, moisten a cloth
with a non-flammable, non-toxic degreasing agent or
commercial detergent and water.

Damage Inspection

Inspect gears for exc essive wear. Some wear is nor­mal. Gears will show more wear on lo aded side. They
are forged and surfaces wi ll appear rough, e ven when
new. The wear pattern should be smooth.

15914 (Rev. 5/11/2007)

Do not replace gears unless deep gou ges, chi ps, dee p
pitting or deep wear grooves are present.

Inspect gear shafts a nd sleeves . Pay speci fic atten tion
to areas where seals seat. Check for cracks, grooves,
nicks or bumps. If damage cannot be repaired by resur­facing with emery cloth, replace damaged part.

Inspect housings for dam age, paying spec ific attentio n
where seals seat. Replace housing if damaged area
cannot be resurfaced with emery cloth.

Gearbox Assembly

(Refer to illustration on page 45.)
Bearing cups, cones and sleeves are a press fit.
Press new bearing cups into vertical and horizontal

housings.
Press bearing cones onto vertical and horizontal shafts

until they seat against machined surface next to gears.

Gearbox Adjustment

Place a 1/32" thick gasket between the vertical and
horizontal housing and gearbox housing. Horizontal
housing must be po sitioned so breather hole i s at top
when gearbox is on cutter . Snug bol ts and che ck gear
mesh by shining a flashlight into the oil fill hole. The
small ends of the te eth on both gears sho uld be flush
with each other and there should be some backlash.

If the gear teeth are not aligned, add gaskets under
one of the gear housings until they do.

Use a feeler gauge to check for .020 backlash between
the teeth. Adjust by adding or subtracting even num­bers of gaskets of the same thi ck ness from ea ch hous­ing and the gearbox.

When all of the bolts are tightened, check the backlash
again to ensure it did not c hange. If i t is chang ed, add
or subtract gaskets as necessary to obtain .020 back­lash between the teeth.

Insert shafts into their respective housings and press
bearing cones onto shaft unti l all free play is removed
(similar to adjust ing front wheel bearings on an au to­mobile).

Check adjustment by spinning housing. It should tu rn
freely. If bearings ar e too tight, hold housing and rap
gear shaft with lead or brass hammer. Readj ust bear­ings. Proper bearing adjustment is essential to good
bearing life. Do not l eave bearings adjusted too tight.
Bearings should turn fre ely without any notice able end
play.

Place O-ring seal ove r shaft and seat agai nst bearing.
Press sleeve on s haft and down against bearing, bu t
do not move bearing. Check bearing adjustm ent again
by spinning housing. Readjust if necessary. Protect
surfaces where seal seats and tack weld sleeve to
shaft.

Seal Installation

An improperly installed seal will leak and could result in
gearbox failure.

Clean area in housing where outer diameter of seal
seats and apply a thin coat of Permatex.

Lubricate seal lip, posit ion spring toward housing, and
carefully guide over sleeve and shaft, using a blunt tool
such as a letter opener. Use care to prevent seal lip
from rolling under. Do not use a knife blade as it will
nick and ruin seal.

Select a piece of pipe or tubing with an OD that will set
on outside edge o f seal cage but will c lear housing. A
driver that is too small will bow cage and ruin seal.

Carefully press seal in to housing, preventing distortion
to metal seal cage. Seat seal firmly against housing.

heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause an
increase in air pres sure and result in a tire explosion.
Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.

When inflating tires, us e a clip-on chu ck and an exten­sion hose long enough to allow you to stand to the side
— not in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety
cage if available.

Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, dam­aged rims, or missing lug bolts and nuts.

Never remove split rim assembly hardware (A) with the

DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions are for the assembly of the MD80
and D80. Many of the procedures apply to both units.
When an instru ction appli es to a s pecific unit , the sec ­tion heading will indicate which unit.

Assembly of this cutter is the responsibility of the
WOODS dealer. It should be delivered to the owner
completely assembled, lubricated and adjusted for nor­mal cutting conditions.

Complete check lists when assembly is complete.
The cutter is shipped partially assembled. Assembly

will be easier if components are aligned and loosely
assembled before tightening hardware. Recommended
torque values for hardware are located on page 58.

Select a suitabl e working area. Ope n parts boxes and
lay out parts and hardware to make location easy.
Refer to illustrations, accompanying text, parts lists and
exploded view drawings.

Blade Installation

 Make sure spring-acti vated lockin g pin or collar
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.

 Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting ca ught in moving parts. We ar
