I have a new KingKutter 6ft 60hp brush hog. On the first whole day of use, the frame that attaches to the 3ph bent all out of shape. (see pictures).
I got the dealer to replace the "A" frame. He said he thought the problem was caused by the iron bars pushing the frame forward when going over very rough ground where the tractor went down and the mower went up. He recommended replacing the bars with chains so that they didn't push on the A frame. I replaced the bars with chains as recommended. (see picture).
On the second day of use, almost exactly the same thing happened again. (another picture).
Can you tell me what is going wrong?
BTW - in both cases the top link had to be shortened AFTER the A frame bent, in order to pick up the mower to get it home. The top link was not short like thi when the bending happened.
