I came in from working on the tractor last night and was washing up and getting ready to call it a day, when I noticed something.
MY 60" brush hog is sitting unevenly and the skid plates don't touch the ground like they do normally when i put the hydraulics all the way down. If you were looking from the rear of the machine the left side of the BH sits higher than the right side. The BH is a single wheel type and I think what happened was when I was diging with the FEL getting deeper and deeper in a strip, the BH was hitting the ground due to the angle in the deeper parts of the hole.

Did I bend something? Or (hopefully) is something in need of adjustment? Sorry for the nOOb questions.

Park the rig on a level surface and lower the 3 pt. all the way down. First check to make sure that none of your linkage is binding and not moving freely. If all that checks out, you can use the right side adjustment to level the right side of the deck to match the fixed left side. Hope this helps.

Hey, don't feel bad! Two weeks ago I took my brand new 8' tine harrow for a workout. Hit a fence pole. The drawbar is now close to an L-bar!!!


FOr some strange reason, the fence post didn't move!

Is there a level place around there to set the top and side links? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
