I was bush hogging the property with my S373 for the very first time today. It worked well until I ran into a problem. There is wayyy too much sway on the 4' Howse rotary cutter I was using.
When I lift the mower deck, the thing wants to sway to the left to the point where hardware on the left lift arm contacts the left tire. I had to stop for fear of puncturing the tire. What's the solution to this? I understand there are small sway chains that use turnbuckles. I'll have to check out TSC on that.
I can't remove a link from the chain because that would make it impossible to connect the chain. The weight and mass of the rotary mower really puts the stress on the sway chains. What are some of you other Beaver owners doing to avoid a similar problem. Thanks in advance...
