Connecting a mowing implement to your tractor

This is a step-by-step, hands-on walkthrough of hooking up a mower deck to a tractor's three-point hitch, not a review of any specific tractor model. It covers connecting lower links, seating the PTO shaft, setting the safety chain, adjusting the top link for terrain follow, leveling the deck to a set mowing height (four inches), and setting RPM/PTO speed and gear before cutting. Best for beginners learning basic hitch-up and setup procedure.
