Mowing 85ac pastures... and no time to do it consistently.

   / Mowing 85ac pastures... and no time to do it consistently. #21  
I understand time limitations to get everything done! Is it possible to add some sort of spring loaded bar with fingers to the rear of the bushhog or series of bars with springs to break up the clumps of mowed clippings? Kind of like pulling doubles behind a truck? It would make for some fun if you needed to back up, but a simple hydraulic lift cylinder to raise it might eliminate that problem.
Just trying to throw some options out there for thought...

I pull a harrow behind my mower in the early spring, to thatch the pasture and break up mats of dried grass. It's just a 3-gang fixed tooth harrow, but does a good job. I end up with thicker grass and better pasture. As long as you don't hook anything, a harrow pulls easy. I drilled a couple holes and used 1/4" chains and shackles to attach the harrow to the mower.
