I have draft control, but my understand of draft control it is for ground engaging equipment to keep them from digging in too deep. I‘m curious to learn more here, but everything I read on this site indicates draft control is for plows and equipment that wants to basically bury itself in the...

An update here on the flail mower. After doing a lot of searching on the web, I found someone else that had the exact same issues. The Fix Is as follows: 1. After leveling the flail, set the top link to tilt the frame assembly back 15 degrees. This is the manufacturers recommendation. 2...

Understood and I have both types of cutters for mine but only use the hammers due to the rocky nature of this country. If you read John0829 response he is referring to a pull type cutter, which I’m not sure what he has.

Is this like a finish mower?

Good info, this is one of the reasons I got my flail. It can by adjusted with the rear remotes in and out as well as the pitch. Curious of the brand of flail you have and how you set it up.

This is the opposite of what the manual states for the rotary cutter and I’ve been setting the front height to 4.5” which I don’t think is too low. The toggle assembly is loose, so it should work. I’ll have to experiment this week and see if I can get anything to change. I’ll also try to...

Pictures of the top link attachments, and just as a test I tried both without the top link attached to see what happens and the only difference I noticed is I could not pick up the implement.

true, but it to me It only “floats” up when the the front of the implement starts to hit dirt, by then its too late in my experience.

Greetings everyone Long time tractor owner with a question that has bugged me for a long time on and I‘ve never found a good answer or a resolution. I have two mowers for my tractor. I have a 6’ rotary cutter and a 6’ articulating flail mower with hammers. When I setup either one of...

I live in an area that has a lot of caliche soil. It dries rock hard in the summer. I have successfully used my land plane with scarcifers to level areas of my property. It has its place, it is not a fix all, I end up using landplane, box blade and rock rake based on what I am trying to...

FWIW I had a factory tooth bar installed on my bucket when I purchased my tractor. It has worked well and I find I take it on and off quite often. Backdragging and finish work I need it removed. I also have clamp on pallet forks for the bucket and need to remove it when using them...

Thought I would post up another round of input now that I am hitting year three this week with my tractor. Hard to believe I have had it for three years now. Over the weekend I passed over the 300 hour mark and will be doing the required service this weekend. It continues to be a...

Here is the filter list for my MT3 52HC. Note that these are specific to my chassis SN. There are some differences in the hydro and HST filters based on SN Oil-40409065 Fuel-40271228 Inner Air-40049446 Outer Air-40007576 HST-40383187 Hyd-40347273 Shout out to folks at Legacy...

Doesn’t break a sweat with that size of flail. My six foot brush hog puts more load on the pto than the flail. I’d check the flail mfg info for the pto required for next size up to see if it could handle it
