Soundguy said:So why not add a 2nd tail wheel ( relocate first one / use it as a template... )
Or get a mower wtih 2 tail wheels. A few mowers DO have 2 tail wheels.
What size are you using?

I'm using a 48" Bush Hog Squealer. Don't really want to add a second wheel and I manage the "plowing" problem by simply cutting higher (estimate about 5 inches).
For a while I thought I just did not have the 3PT attachment properly adjusted and that still might be the case but the lower arm chains are pretty tight and I cannot figure out any other adjustment other than position control to prevent the "plowing". The top link adjustment doesn't have much impact given the swing (or whatever that is called). The plowing problem usually occurs when the tractor is turning or when the rear wheel dips but once the hog starts to plow it likes to stay down and can cut a lovely 20-25 foot gouge if I am not careful. The land is semi flat but there are a number of rocks and short stumps that I drive over which can tilt the tractor enough to let the hog dig in if I am trying to cut closer than 5" or so.
