MOWING CONDITIONS
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Height of mower higher
at front than at rear
Height of mower lower
at front than at rear
Conditions too wet for mowing
Blades unable to cut that
part of grass pressed down
by path of tractor tires
Dull blades
Material too high and
too much material
Grass is wet
Rear of mower too low, trapping

Allow grass to dry before mowing.
Slow ground speed of tractor but
keep engine running at full PTO
RPM. Cutting lower will help. Adjust
tractor tire spacing if possible.
Sharpen or replace blades.
Reduce ground speed but maintain
540 RPM at tractor PTO, or make two
passes over material. Raise mower for
the first pass and lower for the second
and cut 90degrees to first pass. Raise
rear of mower high enough to permit
material discharge, but not so high
that conditions listed above occur.
Allow grass to dry before mowing.
Slow ground speed of tractor but keep
engine running at full PTO RPM.
