TROUBLE SHOOTING  

 

Fault Cause 

Remedy 

Leaves a streak of 
uncut or partially cut 
grass 

Blades dull or bent 

Replace blades 

Carrier RPM too low

 

Use correct PTO speed 

Field conditions are so wet that the tractor tire 
is pushing grass into mud 

Too wet to mow. Stop operation and wait until it is drier 

Ground speed too fast 

Reduce ground speed by shifting to a lower gear 

Grass is down from previous weather 
conditions 

Mow in only one direction 

Possible build-up materials under mower 

Clean mower 

Blades mounted incorrectly (cutting edge 
against direction rotation) 

Change blades so that cutting edge is facing correct rotation. 

  

  

Material discharges 
from mower unevenly; 
bunches of material 
along with swath 
  
  

Material too high and too much material 

Reduce ground speed but maintain 540rpm at tractor PTO or make 
two passes over material.  Raise mower for the first pass and lower 
to desired height for the second and cut a 90 degree angle to first 
pass 

Grass wet 

Allow grass to dry before mowing.  Slow ground speed of tractor but 
keep engine running at full PTO rpm.  Cutting lower will help 

 

 

Gearbox overheating 

Low on lubricant 

Fill to proper level 

Improper type lubricant 

Replace with proper lubricant 

Excessive grass / debris build-up around 
gearbox 

Remove grass, etc from machine 

  

  

Blade is scalping 
ground 

Mower too low 

Raise mower-reset wheels 

Field is ridged 

Cut field at a different angle 

Field is too wet 

Stop and wait until it is dried
