SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
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 operation, transport,
maintenance, 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.

TRAINING
Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and power unit manuals; follow all
safety rules and safety decal information. (Replacement manuals and safety decals are available from
your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check
the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com,
or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-3196637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules
can result in serious injury or death.

PREPARATION
Check that all hardware is properly installed.
Always tighten to torque chart specifications
unless instructed otherwise in this manual.
Air in hydraulic systems can cause erratic operation and allows loads or equipment components
to drop unexpectedly. When connecting equipment
or hoses or performing any hydraulic maintenance,
purge any air in hydraulic system by operating all
hydraulic functions several times. Do this before
p u t t i n g i n t o s e r v i c e o r a l l ow i n g a n y o n e t o
approach the equipment.
Make sure all hydraulic hoses, fittings, and
valves are in good condition and not leaking before
starting power unit or using equipment. Check and
route hoses carefully to prevent damage. Hoses
must not be twisted, bent sharply, kinked, frayed,
pinched, or come into contact with any moving
parts. Operate moveable components through full
operational range to check clearances. Replace
any damaged hoses immediately.

If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.

Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

Know your controls and how to stop engine and
attachment quickly in an emergency.

Make sure attachment is properly secured,
adjusted, and in good operating condition.

Operators must be instructed in and be capable
of the safe operation of the equipment, its attachments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to
operate this equipment without proper instructions.

Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.

Keep hands and body away from pressurized
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other
body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate
skin and will cause serious injury or death.
Make sure that all operating and service personnel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it
must be surgically removed as soon as possible by
a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene, serious injury, or death will result. CONTACT A PHY SI CIAN IMM ED IATELY IF FLUID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.

DS96-DS120 Safety Rules (Rev. 5/11/2007)

If equipped with driveline guard tether chains,
make sure they are attached to the tractor and
equipment as shown in the pamphlet that accompanies the driveline. Replace if damaged or broken.
Check that driveline guards rotate freely on driveline before putting equipment into service.
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or
ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely
fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death
from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable
ROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.
Inspect chain shielding

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 determine maximum and minimum distance between the tractor PTO shaft and the gearbox
input shaft. If the distance is too large, the driveline will
be too short for proper engagement. If distance 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 engagement at the
cutters lowest possible point of operation. The driveline
must not bottom out when raised to the maximum
height possible.
If driveline is too short please call your Woods dealer
for a longer driveline.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

WARNING
On pull-type units with optional hydraulic cutting height adjustment, use a single-acting cylinder
with a maximum extended length of 28-1/4" (718
mm) from attaching point center to center.
Figure 9. Cut Shield
(Rev. 2/6/2009)
MAN0390 (Rev. 6/30/2006)

Cutting height range is from 2" to 15". A hydraulic cylinder or ratchet jack is available for cutting height adjust-

Operation 17

ment on pull-type units and DS120 mounted units.
DS96 requires manual adjustment using holes in the
tailwheel arms.

DS120 - Using any of the optional height adjustment
devices, raise or lower the tailwheel to obtain 2-1/2 to
2-3/4 inches at position B.

When selecting a cutting height, you should consider
the area of operation. If the ground is rolling and has
mounds the blades could contact, set the cutting height
accordingly.

Adjust top link to provide 2 inches of clearance
between the break link (2) and the rear lift links. See
Figure 11. This clearance will allow the cutter to float
over uneven terrain.

NOTICE
■

ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT (PULL-TYPE)

Avoid ground contact with blades. Striking
ground with blades produces one of the most damaging shock loads a cutter can encounter. If this
occurs repeatedly, the cutter, driveline, and gearboxes will be damaged.

Normal Mowing

The blade cutting edge is approximately 1-3/4 inches
above the bottom of the skid shoes.

For grass and weed mowing, adjust cutter to run level
or with the front slightly lower.

Pull-Type Units

Shredding

To adjust cutter for normal mowing, select a cutting
height (example: 4-inches).
Using any of the optional cutting height mechanisms,
raise or lower the tailwheel and set position A to 2-1/4
inches. Loosen the jam nut on the attitude rod that runs
from the tongue to the tailwheel. Adjust rod in or out
until position B is approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inches more
than position A. Refer to Figure 11.

For the most economical power use and best cutting
results, the cutter should be from 1/2" to 3/4" higher at
the rear than at the front.

For shredding, it is better to set rear of cutter slightly
lower than the front. How much lower depends on the
material to be shredded. Determine the best setting for
your situation by experimenting. Use a slow ground
speed for better shredding.

DRIVELINE ADJUSTMENT (PULL-TYPE)
With the cutting height established, adjust the driveline
carrier bearings in the H-frames so that the front driveline is parallel to the ground with cutter in cutting position.

WHEEL SPACING (DS120 ONLY)
Wheels may be adjusted to any position for row crop
shredding.

BLADE SELECTION
Figure 11. Cutting Height Adjustment

Mounted Units
To adjust cutter for normal mowing, select a cutting
height (example: 4").
Adjust tractor 3-point hitch to obtain a distance of 2-1/4
inches at position A. See Figure 11.
DS96 - Using the various holes in the tailwheel arms,
align the tailwheel brace with tailwheel arm to obtain a
distance greater than 2-1/4 inches at position B.
Adjust top link to provide 2 inches of clearance
between the break link (2) and the rear lift links. See
Figure 11. This clearance will allow the cutter to float
over uneven terrain.

18 Operation

There are two blade options: standard suction blades
and flat double-edge blades.
The standard suction blade is a general use, multi-purpose blade.
The double-edge blade requires less power because it
does not mulch or recut material. It is designed for use
in areas where blade wear is a problem. Sandy soils
are extremely hard on blades.
Blade rotation, viewed from top of cutter, is clockwise
for the right crossbar, and counter-clockwise for the left
crossbar.
When one cutting surface of a double-edge blade is
worn, the opposite one may be used by placing the
blade on a crossbar of the opposite rotation. Blades
from the right may be used on the left. Blades from the
left may be used on the right.
(Rev. 2/6/2009)
MAN0390 (Rev. 6/30/2006)

Blades must be moved in pairs. Never use one new
blade and one used blade on a crossbar.

TRACTOR OPERATION
Use care when operating around tree limbs and other
low objects.

Cutter Operation
When beginning operation of the cutter, make sure that
all persons are in a safe location. Slowly move into the
material with the tractor PTO set at 540 rpm.

Mowing Tips

WARNING

Use care and reduce ground speed on rough terrain.
Always watch for hidden hazards.
Being knocked off or falling off tractor can result in serious injury or death.

Look down and to the rear and make sure area
is clear before operating in reverse.

Only use a tractor with a Roll Over Protective Structure
(ROPS) and seat belt. Securely fasten seat belt before
starting tractor.

Do not operate or transport on steep slopes.

The cutter is operated with tractor controls. Engage the
PTO at a low rpm to prevent excessive loads on the
cutter drive system. Increase throttle to proper PTO
speed (540 rpm).
Be sure operator is familiar with all controls and can
stop tractor and cutter quickly in an emergency. The
operator should give complete, undivided attention to
operating tractor and cutter.

OPERATING TECHNIQUE
Power for operating the cutter is supplied by the tractor
PTO. Operate PTO at 540 rpm. Know how to stop the
tractor and cutter quickly in an emergency.
Engage PTO at a low engine rpm to minimize stress on
the drive system and gearbox. With PTO engaged,
raise PTO speed to 540 rpm and maintain throughout
cutting operation.
Gearbox protection is provided by a slip clutch with
replacement fiber disc. The slip clutch is designed to
slip when excessive torsional loads occur.

Do not stop, start, or change directions suddenly on slopes.
Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on
slopes and rough terrain.
Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during
operation.

CAUTION
Stop power unit and equipment immediately
upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine,
remove key, inspect, and repair any damage before
resuming operation.
Maximum recommended ground speed for cutting or
shredding is 6 miles per hour. Adjust tractor ground
speed by using higher or lower gears to provide a clean
cut without lugging tractor engine.
Tall material should be cut twice. Cut material higher
the first pass. Cut at desired height at 90 degrees the
second pass.
Remember, sharp blades produce cleaner cuts and
use less power.

Move slowly into material. Adjust tractor ground speed
to provide a clean cut without lugging the tractor
engine. Use a slow ground speed for better shredding.

Before entering an area, analyze it to determine the
best procedure. Consider the height and type of material to be cut and the terrain type (hilly, level or rough,
etc.).

Proper ground speed will depend on the terrain and the
material’s height, type, and density.

TRANSPORTING

Normally, ground speed will range from 2 to 5 mph.
Tall, dense material should be cut at a low speed; thin,
medium-height material can be cut at a faster ground
speed.
Always operate tractor PTO at 540 rpm to maintain
blade speed and to produce a clean cut.
Under certain conditions tractor tires may roll down
some grass and prevent cutting at the same height as
the surrounding area. When this occurs, reduce your
ground speed but maintain PTO at 540 rpm. The lower
ground speed will permit grass to rebound partially.
(Rev. 2/6/2009)
MAN0390 (Rev. 6/30/2006)

WARNING
The maximum transport speed for towed and
semi-mounted machines is 20 mph (32 km/h).
Regardless of the maximum speed capability of the
towing tractor, do not exceed the implement’s maximum transport speed. Doing so could result in:
• Loss of control of the implement and tractor
• Reduced or no ability to stop during braking
• Implement tire failure
• Damage to the implement or its components.

Operation 19

WARNING
Use additional caution and reduce speed when
under adverse surface conditions, turning, or on
inclines.
Never tow this implement with a motor vehicle.

1. Always transport with cutter in raised, locked
position.
2. Raise cutter with hydraulic cylinder.
3. Rotate transport lock over cylinder rod. See Figure
33 on page 38.
4. Lower cylinder against transport lock.
5. To lower cutter for operation, extend hydraulic
cylinder. Rotate transport lock back away from
cylinder rod. Lower to desired cutting height.

STORAGE

WARNING
Keep children and bystanders away from storage area.
On Mounted and Semi-Mounted Cutters:
Disconnect cutter driveshaft and secure up off
ground. Raise cutter with 3-point hitch. Place
blocks under cutter side skids. Lower cutter onto
blocks. Disconnect hydraulic lines to optional cylinder. Disconnect cutter from tractor 3-point hitch

OWNER SERVICE
The information in this section is written for operators
who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need help,
your dealer has trained service technicians available.
For your protection, read and follow the safety information in this manual.

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

CAUTION
If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

BLOCKING METHOD

WARNING
Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the
ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked and
secured. Never place any part of the body underneath equipment or between moveable parts even
when the engine has been turned off. Hydraulic
system leak down, hydraulic system failures,
mechanical failures, or movement of control levers
can cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpectedly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Operator's Manual instructions for working underneath
and blocking requirements or have work done by a
qualified dealer.
To minimize the potential hazards of working underneath the cutter, follow these procedures:
1. Jackstands with a load rating of 1000 lbs. or more
are the only approved blocking device for this
cutter. Install a minimum of four jackstands (shown
by Xs in Figure 12) under the cutter before working
underneath unit.

The working surface must be level and solid to
support the weight on the jackstands. Make sure
jackstands are stable, both top and bottom. Make
sure cutter is approximately level.
3. With full cutter weight lowered onto jackstands, test
blocking stability before working underneath.
4. If cutter is attached to tractor when blocking, set
the brakes, remove key, and block cutter before
working underneath.
5. Securely block rear tractor wheels, in front and
behind. Tighten tractor lower 3-point arm anti-sway
mechanism to prevent side-to-side movement.

LUBRICATION
Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,
particularly when operating in sandy areas.
See Figure 12 for lubrication points and frequency or
lubrication based on normal operating conditions.
Severe or unusual conditions may require more frequent lubrication.
Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a MOLY
(molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations unless
otherwise noted. Be sure to clean fittings thoroughly
before attaching grease gun. One good pump of most
guns is sufficient when the lubrication schedule is followed.

Gearbox Lubrication
1. Use a high quality gear oil with a viscosity index of
80W or 90W and an API service rating of GL-4 or 5 in gearboxes.
2. Fill gearbox until oil runs out the the lower hole on
back side of center gearbox or side hole on spindle
gearboxs. Check gearboxs daily for evidence of
leakage, and contact your dealer if leakage occurs.

Driveline Lubrication
1. Lubricate the driveline slip joint every eight
operating hours. Failure to maintain proper
lubrication could result in damage to U-joints,
gearbox, and driveline.
2. Lower cutter to ground, disconnect driveline from
tractor PTO shaft, and slide halves apart but do not
disconnect from each other.

Do not position jackstands under wheels, axles, or
wheel supports. Components can rotate and cause
cutter to fall.

3. Apply a bead of grease completely around male
half where it meets female half. Slide drive halves
over each other several times to distribute grease.

2. Consider the overall stability of the blocked unit.
Just placing jackstands underneath will not ensure
your safety.

4. Grease side drive yoke where yoke attaches to
side gearbox.

(Rev. 10/5/2007)
MAN0390 (Rev. 4/6/2007)

NOTE: Always replace or sharpen both blades at the
same time.
1. Inspect blade pin (12) for nicks or gouges, and if
you find any, replace the blade pin.
2. Insert blade pin through the blade (9). Blade
should swivel on blade pin; if it doesn’t, determine
the cause and correct.
3. Align crossbar (8) with blade access hole in cutter
frame. Apply a liberal coating of Never Seez or
equivalent to blade pin and crossbar hole. Make
sure blade offset is away from cutter. Push blade
pin through crossbar. Pin should rotate freely prior
to installing blade clip (15).

Sharpening Blades

NOTICE
■

When sharpening blades, grind the same
amount on each blade to maintain balance.
Replace blades in pairs. Unbalanced blades will
cause excessive vibration, which can damage
gearbox bearings. Vibration may also cause structural cracks to cutter.
1. Sharpen both blades at the same time to maintain
balance. Follow original sharpening pattern.
2. Do not sharpen blade to a razor edge—leave at
least a 1/16" blunt edge.
3. Do not sharpen back side of blade.

4. Install shims (13 & 16) over blade pin.
NOTE: Only use enough shims to allow keyhole
plate (14) to slide into blade pin groove.
5. Install blade clip (15) over keyhole plate and into
blade pin groove.
6. Secure into position with cap screw (35). Torque
cap screw to 85 lbs-ft.
7. Repeat steps for opposite side.

Owner Service 23

ADJUSTING SLIP CLUTCH
The slip clutch is designed to slip so that the gearbox
and driveline are protected if the cutter strikes an
obstruction. A new slip clutch or one that has been in
storage over the winter may seize. Before operating
the cutter, make sure it will slip by performing the following operation:
1. Turn off tractor engine and remove key. Remove
driveline from tractor PTO. Loosen six 10 mm cap
screws (6) to remove all tension from Belleville
spring plate (5).
2. Hold clutch hub (3) solid and turn shaft to make
sure clutch slips.
3. If clutch does not slip freely, disassemble and clean
the thrust plate faces (4), flange yoke (1), and
clutch hub (3).
4. Reassemble clutch. Tighten Belleville spring (5)
until it is against the thrust plate (4) of the clutch,
and then back off each of the six nuts by two full
revolutions. The gap between Belleville spring and
thrust plate should be 1/8" as shown in Figure 15.
5. If a clutch continues to slip when the spring is
compressed to 1/8", check friction discs (2) for

excessive wear. Discs are 1/8" when new. Replace
discs after 1/16" wear. Minimum disc thickness is
1/16".

RUBBER DISK REPLACEMENT
The flexible coupler side drive is designed to flex when
striking heavy objects or during start-up to protect gearboxes. The rubber disks will wear out over time and
require replacement much like slip clutch disks. To
maximize rubber disk life, lower tractor engine speed to
an idle when engaging the PTO and avoid striking the
ground with cutter blades.
Periodically inspect the disks for signs of cracking. A
disk may run for some time after a crack starts but this
is the first sign that disk replacement is required in the
future.
To replace the disks, remove hardware items (6, 7, 8,
and 9). Remove sleeves (7) from old disk and install in
new disk. Reassemble and torque bolts to 85 lbs-ft.
See Figure 16. Take special care not to rotate gearbox
shaft and throw blades out of time. If rubber disks have
failed and blades are hitting, you will need to re-time
the blades per instructions on page 34.

CLEANING
After Each Use

●

Remove large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass,
crop residue, etc. from machine.

●

Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged
parts.

When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck 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.

●

Replace any safety decals that are missing or not
readable.

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

Periodically or Before Extended Storage
●

Clean large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass,
crop residue, etc. from machine.

●

Remove the remainder using a low-pressure water
spray.

Never remove split rim assembly hardware (A) with the
tire inflated.

1. Be careful when spraying near scratched or torn
safety decals or near edges of decals as water
spray can peel decal off surface.
2. Be careful when spraying near chipped or
scratched paint as water spray can lift paint.
3. If a pressure washer is used, follow the advice of
the pressure washer manufacturer.
●

Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged
parts.

●

Sand down scratches and the edges of areas of
missing paint and coat with Woods spray paint of

DEALER SERVICE
The information in this section is written for dealer service personnel. The repair described here requires
special skills and tools. If your shop is not properly
equipped or your mechanics are not properly trained in
this type of repair, you may be time and money ahead
to replace complete assemblies.

WARNING
Before working underneath, disconnect driveline, raise cutter, lock in transport position, and
block cutter securely. Hydraulic system leak down
and failure of mechanical or hydraulic system can
cause equipment to drop.
Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.

GEARBOX MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Read this entire section before starting any
repair. Many steps are dependent on each other.
1. Fill gearbox with SAE 80W or 90W gear lube until it
runs out the side level plug.

Leakage can occur at the vertical or horizontal gaskets
and shaft seals.
Leakage at the horizontal gasket or seal can be
repaired without removing the gearbox from the cutter.

SEAL INSTALLATION
NOTE: Proper seal installation is important. An improperly installed seal will leak.
1. Clean area in housing where seal outer diameter
(OD) seats. Apply a thin coat of Permatex.
2. Inspect area of shaft where seal seats. Remove
any burrs or nicks with an emery cloth.
3. Lubricate gear shaft and seal lips.
4. Place seal squarely on housing, spring-loaded lip
toward housing. Select a piece of pipe or tubing
with an OD that will sit on the outside edge of the
seal but will clear the housing. Tubing with an OD
that is too small will bow seal cage and ruin seal.
5. Carefully press seal into housing,
distortion to the metal seal cage.

edge of seal.

NOTE: Repair to this gearbox is limited to replacing bearings, seals, and gaskets. Replacing gears,
shafts, and a housing is not cost effective. Purchasing a complete gearbox is more economical.
2. Inspect gearbox for leakage and bad bearings.
Leakage is a very serious problem and must be
corrected immediately. Bearing failure is indicated
by excessive noise and side-to-side or end-play in
gear shafts.

SEAL REPLACEMENT
Recommended sealant for gearbox repair is Permatex® Aviation 3D Form-A-Gasket or equivalent.

Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the
proper equipment and experience to perform the job.
Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate
tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld or
heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause an
increase in air pressure and result in a tire explosion.
Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck 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
tire inflated.

These instructions are for the assembly of the DS96
and DS120 mounted and pull-type cutters. Many of the
procedures apply to all units. When an instruction
applies to a specific unit, the section heading will
indicate which unit. Assembly of options may not apply
to all units.
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.
The cutter is shipped partially assembled. Assembly
will be easier if aligned and loosely assembled before
tightening hardware. Recommended torque values for
hardware are located in the Bolt Torque Chart, page
73.
Select a suitable working area. A smooth hard surface,
such as concrete, will make assembly much quicker.
Open parts boxes and lay out parts and hardware to
make location easy. Refer to illustrations, accompanying text, parts lists and exploded view drawings.
