Introduction
This manual has been designed to help you with
three extremely important issues: Operation, Safety,
and Maintenance. It is strongly recommended that
you read through the entire manual and review it
annually for:
• your own personal safety.
• the safety of others.
• helpful and effective operation
techniques.
• maintenance procedures.
• preventative maintenance.
Your authorized Degelman dealer can be
contacted for ordering any replacement parts,
decals, or manuals. Since many of our parts are
specially designed specifically for the Sidearm we
strongly recommend you always replace them
with genuine Degelman parts only.
This manual and its contents were current at the time
of its first printing. To increase product performance
and operation, some part modifications and changes
may occur that are not reflected in this manual.
Note: The description “Right”or“Left” as used in this
manual is determined by the direction the tractor
will travel while in use (unless otherwise stated).
Degelman is proud to welcome you to our rapidly
increasing family of high quality and dependable
product owners. This product was designed and
built specifically for you, the customer. Through our
research and with your input and feedback, we
present to you our 1820 Sidearm offset hitch.
Designed with durability, safety, and performance
in mind, the Sidearm is ready for years of quality
service. In order to help you keep your Sidearm in
top operating condition we have provided you with
this manual.
Your serial number is found on the serial number
plate attached to the Sidearm on the front left side
of the Sidearm near the support jack (shown in the
photo above).
It is important to record the serial and model
number of your Sidearm for proof of ownership and
for any required service or maintenance assistance.

Model
PTO Speed 540 RPM 1000 RPM
The 1820 Sidearm offset hitch enables the operator
to offset equipment, such as a rotary cutter, side to
side behind the tractor in a range of over 27 ft. from
left to right (13.5 ft in either direction). This feature
enables the operator to drive the tractor on level
ground in a more comfortable and safe environment
while the Sidearm offsets the equipment where
required.
The Sidearm steering is controlled with a 2-1/2” x
16” hydraulic cylinder attached to a main steering
arm. The Sidearm is available in either a 540 or
1000 PTO model and offers a variety of hydraulic
options that can be configured to meet your specific
requirements. The Sidearm’s four gearboxes,
1:1 ratio, are configured at 90° to each other. This
enables the Sidearm to offset and swivel at angles
of up to 50° from side to side while limiting stress
and wear on the gearboxes and internal drive
components.

1. Read and understand the Operator’s
Manual and all safety signs before
operating, maintaining or adjusting
the Sidearm.
2. Install and properly secure all shields and
guards before operating.
3. Have a first-aid kit available for
use should the need arise and
know how to use it.
4. Have a fire extinguisher available
for use should the need arise and
know how to use it.
5. Wear appropriate protective gear.
This list includes but is not limited to:
• A hard hat
• Protective shoes with slip resistant soles
• Protective glasses or goggles
• Heavy gloves
• Wet weather gear
• Hearing protection
• Respirator or filter mask
6. Clear the area of people, especially small
children, and remove foreign objects from the
machine before starting and operating.
7. Do not allow riders.
8. Stop tractor engine, place all controls in neutral,
set park brake, remove ignition key and wait
for all moving parts to stop before servicing,
adjusting, repairing or unplugging.
9. Review safety related items with all operators
annually.
YOU are responsible for the safe operation and
maintenance of your Degelman Sidearm. YOU
must ensure that you and anyone else who is going
to operate, maintain or work around the Sidearm
be familiar with the operating and maintenance
procedures and related SAFETY information
contained in this manual.
This manual will take you step-by-step through
your working day and alerts you to all good safety
practices that should be adhered to while operating
this equipment.
Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety
practices not only protect you but also the people
around you. Make these practices a working
part of your safety program. Be certain that
EVERYONE operating this equipment is familiar
with the recommended operating and maintenance
procedures and follows all the safety precautions.
Most accidents can be prevented. Do not risk injury
or death by ignoring good safety practices.
• Sidearm owners must give operating
instructions to operators or employees before
allowing them to operate the Sidearm,
and at least annually thereafter per OSHA
regulation 1928.51.
• The most important safety device on this
equipment is a SAFE operator. It is the
operator’s responsibility to read and
understand ALL Safety and Operating
instructions in the manual and to follow
these. All accidents can be avoided.
• A person who has not read and understood
all operating and safety instructions is
not qualified to operate the machine. An
untrained operator exposes himself and
bystanders to possible serious injury or
death.
• Do not modify the equipment in any way.
Unauthorized modification may impair the
function and/or safety and could affect the
life of the equipment.
• Think SAFETY! Work SAFELY!
