l2501 bushhogging questions

On most bushhogs, the tail wheel can be flipped up, and you conteol the angle with the 3 point arms. So, yes, call rental folks for sure; but that doesnt get your time back; it might be better to go ahead and flip the tail wheel up, adjust the 3 point to level, 3 inches off the round, and roll

I hate to get spanked, but wth.....I have for years only used a cutter at 1500 rpms. figured i was being easy on my engine. SO, what is "correct" PTO rpm - 540

Your machine will have a mark on the tachometer indicating what engine RPMs produce 540 pto rpms.

All the safety devices on this unit have been disconnected.

I did what you suggested. Though mostly level ground, very uneven surface. About two acres was all I could stand and still a very ugly cut.
