BCat CT225 Bushhog Question?

[LD1]

Here is my King Kutter bushhog

That hitch already allows for a little articulation unless you hare hooking it up with it already bottomed out of movement one way or another.

Not sure how uneven your ground is....but setup right, that clevis should allow the tailwheel to free float up and down a good foot each way.

Here is my Woods finsh mower.
I have the same issues with this!
It does have the added chains, so I presume I'm not hooking up correctly, also!
Pulling it out of storage, so I stuck a stick across to hold the chain keepers.
Thanks for UR help!
It's getting to be mowing time!View attachment 657022

HArd to see whats going on there.

The chains go back to the tractor and just keep the front of the deck from suspended at the exact same height all the time....just shove the lever down and go.

But it also looks to have a swinging clevis as well....but bad angle.

Thanks for the input!
Yes, not setting up the bush hog properly.
I have the top-link drawing it all the way forward to the tractor.
I shot another pic of the chain setup on the woods mower.
Hopefully a better shot for u to see.
Thanks!

Looks to me like the piece with the stick and chains through it has been spread way out of shape. The end going to the mower should have those sides running parallel. I can't tell whether they would go inside the mower pieces or outside. Which ever makes them parallel. then the other end should be bent back around to a point the tractor top link is a good fit. Just my thinking of what I see. :2cents:

Thats not any better of an angle.

But the chains, you are hooking to the tractor correct? And not staying where they are when you attach the mower?

Sorry for not responding, I havent been able to connect.
Anyway, yes the chains stay in place, i did not know the connected to the tractor.
Boy I feel dumb!
I will get a sideways shot of it tomorrow.
Thanks guys!
