Did you pull the 2 pivot lock pins? I've only done a few myself, but it seems to me the pivot kind of controls the size of the bite. If you're taking too much, the forward force overcomes the weight of the unit and it tilts up and 'automatically' take a shallower bite. Am I wrong? Is there...

One thing to keep in mind w/ it is that when you release the knob, the system will drive the truck to follow the trailer. So, you can basically forget about the truck (but you still need to watch the front corners for clearances). It does tend to cut the wheels a bit aggressively, and if you're...

I wasn't familiar with using 'limit chains', but after a bit of Googling, I kind of get the idea, but am wondering how they may work on a ditch bank mower when the top link bracket gets shifted out the to the side or tilted 90deg. I can't see how the chain would limit the height of the mower w/o...

I'm not too familiar with tractors other than my own, but I thought it seemed to have a good number of adjustments, incl. the side to side (not a chain or turnbuckle, but a pair of sliding 'braces' that can be pinned every inch or so). But, I doesn't seem that I have any vertical adjustments for...

The lower links do 'extend', though I only extend them when hooking up. Once connected, I push back a bit w/ the tractor and they lock into the short position. I'm not even sure they lock in the extended position. The turnbuckles to adjust tilt are the same length. The left one is just a fixed...

The left and right lower links are level with each other.

I'll give that a try. I've been trying to set it so that w/ the 3pt all the way down (rollers on the ground) , it's running high along the front edge at its min cutting height (ideally, ~3", I think) with the skids not touching (or barely along the back edges). (When I set it this way, the...

In my 'test run', I was mowing the brush alongside a trail under the power lines in the back of the property. The power company had come in and mulched everything under the lines within the last 2 years, so there was nothing that was really thick. What the mower cut, it seemed to do a pretty...

Thx. I'll move the top link back to the slot, but I may need a longer top-link to keep it tilted back for a minimum cutting height. I think I may have the slots on the side cylinder as well (I also have a CKse), so I'll try that, too.

Speaking of Ditch Bank Mowers, what's the common setup when using it in the typical mower mode (level and directly behind the tractor)? I recently got the MechMaxx Ditch Bank Mower... there's not much info in the manual in setting it up, but there's a bit more in the Offset Mower manual, so I...

Yes, you can. Not sure if the process is consistent across states(?). W/ a trailer, in the NE, it's my understanding you need to order it derated or get a new COO and a sticker from the manufacturer, which many are willing to provide. But, if I understand correctly, when you derate the trailer...

The Appalachian is ruled out because the 15k rating puts me in CDL territory. I'm settled on this one - picking up on Mon: https://norstarcompany.com/trailers/twb14-tilt-trailer/ If I end up w/ a CTL down the road that exceeds the trailer's rating, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

I placed an order last week and got an order # right away. Last night (Fri), I got a shipping confirmation on the Flail Mower I ordered, but it doesn't seem to include the Stump Grinder, though there is a note that multiple items may ship separately. Edit - Regarding the site w/ the $990 price...

Yes.

Per my original post, my intention is to start providing some tractor services in my area, so yes, commercial. I won't need a CDL for the 3 trailers that I'm currently considering for use w/ my current tractor, but I was originally thinking I would get a CTL down the road. I was hoping that I...
