Hello Everyone.
I have a 4' KK rotary cutter that I recently bought for my 4010 and am having trouble keeping it out of the dirt. I have a pretty rough area that I had been using my MMM to cut but it was taking a beating from the rocks and if I didn't get to it every time it would get too thick to mow. The rotary cutter is doing good except for one problem. There are several bumps that I have to go over and if the front of the tractor goes up on one, the cutter goes down into the ground. I know I can't mow as close as with the MMM but I have to keep it really high or constantly adjust it to keep it off the ground. I would have to keep the cutter at least 6 or 8" off the ground to keep it from bottoming out on the humps. I have thought of attaching some wheels to the front of the cutter to keep it off the ground. Maybe some like on a mower deck but larger that I can remove when I don't need them? Any suggestions would be welcomed.
