POSSIBLE CAUSE

POSSIBLE REMEDY

 

 

 

Leaves a streak of uncut or partially cut grass.

1. Cutter not level side to side.

Level 3 pt. hitch linkage on tractor.

2.Blades dull or bent.

3.Carrier RPM too low.

4.Field conditions are so wet that the tractor tire is pushing grass into mud.

5.Ground speed too fast.

6.Blades locked back.

7.Blades riding up due to blade bolt wear or loose bolts.

8.Grass is down from previous weather conditions.

9.Possible build up of material under cutter.

10.Weed and grass stems are pushed down by tractor tires and do not rebound up so they can be cut (this can happen when weed/grass is high).

Sharpen or replace blades.

Use correct PTO speed.

Too wet to mow. Stop operation and wait until it is drier.

Reduce ground speed by shifting to a lower gear.

Free blades.

Replace blade bolts.

Mow in only one direction.

Clean cutter.

Mow again in opposite direction.

Mow back and forth with enough overlap to mow tire track of previous cut again.

Offset cutter to left 4-6” by adjust- ing stabilizer bars. Then mow in counter clockwise direction (rotation direction of blades will help cut stems pushed forward).

Grass cut lower in center of swath than at edge.

Height of cutter lower at rear or front.

Adjust cutter height and attitude so that cutter rear and front are within

1/2” of same height. See instructions.

Material discharges from cutter unevenly; bunches of material along swath.

1.Material too high and too much material.

Reduce ground speed but maintain 540 rpm at tractor PTO, or make two passes over material. Raise cutter for the first pass and lower to desired height for the second and cut a 90˚ to first pass. Raise rear to cutter high enough to permit mater- ial to discharge, but not so high that conditions listed above occur.
