View attachment 332386View attachment 332388I could use a bit of advice from you Caroni owners out there. Took delivery of my TM1900 last week...have mowed about 12 hours with it (just grass, hay field regrowth, no brush) and find that the roller is not always turning due to scrapper bar. In fact, there is one strip about 5/8" wide, running the full length of the roller that looks like chrome from dragging so much.
Anyone else run into this problem?
Have you Caroni owners modified your scrapper bar so it doesn't ride directly on the roller? If so, what did you do.
Oh, before someone asks, I greased bearings before use, and again after 5 hours. If scrapper is lifted up, roller spins like a top.
I just removed my scraper bar because my roller gets pretty beat up banging over rocks etc. and the mower works fine without it! But keep it on if you're mowing wet grass. The other thing about the scraper bar is if you look at each end you'll notice it rides on the end cap weld seams, you can wait till it wears in or, like I did, notch the bar ends to clear the welds and it will ride flat on the roller.
