I recently acquired via inheritance a small farm that has about 19 acres in fescue. There is also a MF 135 (gas) tractor and nearly new bushhog. The fields a essentially level with gentle sloping in places.
My problem is that I have never used a tractor with bush hog. I used a red belly Ford with plow and disk 40 years ago but have not sit on a tractor since.
What gear should I use when bushhogging?
The tractor has a two stage clutch. Do I need an overiding clutch.
Is there anything in particular I need to watch for?
Thanks in advance for your help.
