Bush hog problems

[ausaunders]

I am new to owning a tractor and having a difficult time from keeping my bush hog rotary mower from hitting the rear tires when I turn. I own a new TC30 and have the "sway links" as tight as they will go. I also turned the rear wheels out to give a wider wheelbase. I know this may seem to be a trival question but I am new to this. Thanks

what size is your bush hog?

Have you lifted the cutter up with the 3ph and pushed it backed and forth and then retighten the links? I find I have to do that with my 24 and my 4' cutter and my 5' box blade.

Check to see if there isn't a second set of holes on your brush hog for you to install the 2 pins that your arms hitch to. This would move the cutter back and away from your tires. Haveagreatday Frank

The side to side motion of your lower 3pt arms needs to be controled. There are different ways on different tractors, so you need to determine what yours takes. Also make sure everything is tight with the mounting pins and bolts on the bush hog.
Backing into stuff with the bush hog is rough on the bolts, pins and things...
