Mowing Tips??

[Will_C]

That's why I use a bush hog!! If the 4 acres I had were smooth enough, I would use my RFM or my Ztr.

I was just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to keep your rotary cutters blades out of the dirt. I know this sounds rather stupid, but I have about 5-7 acres to mow that was cleared last year. Just a little rough, but overall flat, but everytime the tractor goes over a ridge or rut I have to pickup the 3-point , then lower back down. Now this leaves or grass sticking up. If I mow slow everything is ok, but it takes forever to get finished. How in the Heck do the guys on the highways prevent this, going up and over ditches? I also get some bounce out of the cutter when hitting a bump and get some dirt then too. Any tips??

This is my first year that I actually have grass to mow, instead of brush.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Fill in the low spots; cut down the high spots. Get yourself an offset disc and run it over the pasture a few times. That'll flatten it out real quickly.

Heck, mowing the dirt's not so bad, it's those rocks hidden just below the surface of the dirt that get me. And new ones float to the surface every rain!!!!
