Product Description

The new VENTRAC Model HQ680 “Tough-Cut” rotary mower features an enclosed

deck designed for field and brush mowing. The broad, belted, high intake front creates

an “attack” on tall grasses and brush before it is leveled. The straight front deck design

provides structural strength and a uniform performance in tall vegetation.

Two cast-iron gauge wheels with 5/8th inch rubber coating, roller bearings and grease

zerks help to gauge the mowing depth and reduce scalping. They can be adjusted to

three cut heights.

The VENTRAC “Quick Attach” makes the “Tough-Cut” a quick option among the

VENTRAC’s (4000 series) many attachments. Variables in tractor hitch heights can be

accommodated by properly positioning the hitch pins in the deck frame. Easy servicing

is provided by the hinged and removable cover and deck tilt to access the underside

and blades.

Power consumption is always relative to numerous factors but generally the

“Tough-Cut” operates easily and does not necessarily require full engine rpms.

Proper service, maintenance and safe operation of the HQ680 “Tough-Cut” will provide

great results for field and brush mowing.

Always look in the direction the tractor is moving.

Never direct the discharge of any attachment in the direction of people, animals,

buildings, vehicles, or objects of value.

Immediately stop at any sign of equipment failure and correct the problem before

OPERATION

Setup Instructions for the HQ680 Tough Cut Mower

Jack Stand Installation:

To install the jack stand into the mounting tube as shown below, raise the back of the

mower far enough to insert the stand in the tube. This can be accomplished be setting

the mower crosswise on the crate or using a lifting device. Remember, whatever

method is used keep safety in mind and use common safety procedures such as using

stands, blocking, or a restraining device.

Remove the tyton tie which holds the latch handle to the mounting tube. Insert the jack

stand into the mounting tube as shown in fig.1. Ensure that the bolt hole in the top of

the jack stand faces to the right side of the deck. (Refer to the parts drawing on pg. E-1

for further reference). Remove the outer nut from the latch handle, insert the bolt

through the jack stand and replace the nut. Adjust spring tension as tight as possible,

while still allowing the jack stand latch to operate freely in and out of the notch when

raising or lowering the jack stand.

When mowing or transporting, the jack stand should always be in the very top setting.

(Refer to pg. C-2). For tilting the deck up, move the jack stand to the middle setting

(refer to pg. C-4). This will allow for ground clearance as well as to ensure the jack

stand does not hit the front of the tractor. To disconnect the deck from the tractor, lower

the stand to the lowest setting prior to removing the mower from the tractor. (Refer to

pg. C-2).
