Rotary Cutter Brushog boggs down too easy?

[Soundguy]

The evidence has been out and replied to pertinently. What action do you propose from our end?

the 'action' i spke of quite obviously ( from context) is action the OP needs to take.

i propose the OP stop checking the cutter box gear oil and start checking his tractor!

like i have implied twice now. there is no more action for the responders to take till the op makes some observations and reports back some info

Did you just invent the obvious, or did you re invent it?

i'm just wondering whe the rest of the posters other than you or i. maybee 1 other havn't been trying to get the OP to check the real problem vs the mower.

I'm actually (trying ) to help.. vs whining.. which is what you are doing. Did you invent the whine? or reinvent it?

there is razor sharp, and then there is butter knife sharp, and blunt / dull, and then just plain dull blades. weeds even regular yard grass, will dull a razor sharp blade quickly. a butter knife or even a tad duller than that, will stay sharp and cutting for a longer time, and without much extra HP from tractor.

You dont want razor sharp on a bush hog according to my manual and other post ive seen. My new blades have about 1/8" flat on the front face

I guess you dont know the definition of whine. You certainly cant recognize it in print.

Thanks guys for taking an interest in this problem. 733 hours on my NH TC48da. I cannot confirm if the PTO is actually stopping - I assume it is stopping because the adjustable post drive that attaches the brush hog to my PTO is stopping when I look behind me to see what is happening.

I am going to call my local tractor expert to come look at it. I'll let you know.

When I first read the post, I was assuming shear bolt or slip clutch. After post 8 by the op saying the PTO shaft stalls too it is clear it has nothing to do with the mower. All the rest of the posts after that about horsepower, slip clutch, and gear oil are pointless.

The op needs to be checking his tractor. And to help the op, we as members don't need to be suggesting all this other stuff that ain't relavent.

And I'll ask again, how many hours on the tractor? The more info you give us, the better we can help. Did you just get the tractor? Did this just start happening? Etc.

Whatever is going on is with the tractor. (Unless you have a slip clutch on the tractor side of the PTO as soundguy mentioned). So the more you can tell us about the tractor, the better.

And no, I didn't invent reiteration. Or even reinvent it. I perfected it

 

[Soundguy]

that's what I thought. you last handfull of posts have had nothing to do with the ops problem... you are just looking to argue.

go argue with the wall.. I'm dropping you into the ignore bucket.. plenty to do other than listen to you whine while waiting for the op to get some data back to us on his non spinning pto shaft.

see ya.. er.. rather.. no.. won't see ya.

733 hours seems too soon to have worn a clutch. Unless ALL 733 hrs were very heavy PTO work.

What is an "adjustable post drive"

Do you have any pictures of your setup, that you can draw a little arrow to everything that is stopping?

If you cannot confirm the PTO shaft is dropping, we may be back to a slip clutch or shear bolt issue.

It's very clear to me you all are just tying to help and I am grateful. There is definitely something wrong beyond my experience. I've had the tractor for 3 years work it often used on many projects.
