I am planning to make frequent use of our refurbished rotary mower this season, a Bush Hog RZ-60 attached to a Ford 340A (industrial). I am concerned about the amount of "play" there is currently on the drawbars---I get a couple of inches of sway, mostly to port, even on level surfaces. Can this not-perfect alingment damage or stress the PTO driveshaft at all? I have heard arguments for and against having the drawbar and top link locked up tight, and I need some expert opinion. I've dealt mostly with belt-driven MMMs and therefore am a neophyte on rotary mower ops.
Depending on how hard (or easy) the mower is to manage, I may upgrade to a larger 7' unit next season---the Ford's got the HP.
Thanks in advance.
