I bought a 403 cutter off of CR today for a very reasonable ( I thought ) $300. for clearing small brush mostly. I plan on using it on the back of my 2520 and have no experience with one of these or the pto/3pt setup. Any advice, suggestions, SAFTEY concerns would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Manomet,
I have the 413.
Be sure to check your PTO shaft length!
And in my case, the chain guard will hit the backs of the rear tires when the deck is lifted. I have to use my Pat's hitch or a quick hitch to keep it far back enough.
Let me know if you could use a hand with anything. I'd be happy to drop by or you know where to find me too.

Manomet,
I'm just going from memory here, but mount the mower onto the tractor without the pto shaft attached.
Measure the distance between the tractor output shaft and the mower input shaft. Of course, account for the connections in the measurements.
Measure the pto shaft length. If the pto shaft can't close short enough, separate the two halves and shorten one half to allow them to collapse enough, plus about an inch extra. If the shaft is already too short to reach, you'll just need to buy a longer shaft.
