As I don't own a tractor (yet) I pay a couple of guys to mow my property with a rotary cutter. The property is more like pasture than lawn. One of the guys uses a large Massey (fifties model), the other has a large, newer JD. Both use 6' cutters.
Invariably, after a mowing by either one, there will be several instances of a shallow furrow several feet long caused by the cutter deck digging into the ground. Is this normal and a fact-of-life with rotary cutters or can it be prevented by proper adjustment and/or technique?
I'd like to think that when I begin doing my own mowing I can avoid the problem.
