try setting the bush hog completely level when its cutting. start the mower in a place where there is no grass or keep it raised up to start with. on thick stuff cut on a half of a mower wide and it will handle it ok. sounds like you need to tune your tractor up to start with. i love stp gas treatment and its time for every body to start running gas stabilizer in every thing that will be sitting later this winter without being cranked and ran. in case you don't under stand, just because you take the pto out of gear doesn't mean that you can stop. the mower has a head of steam built up and nothing to stop it from pushing your tractor where ever its headed. get the over riding clutch before you do anything else. have you checked to see if your blades are sharp. i always wondered about caring blades to the amish people and have them sharpen them. the have some forges and know how to heat and re shape the blades. an old small engine repair teacher told us the it wasn't the shapnest of the blade that cut good as much as it was the slope being right on the blade edge. also told us to never sharpen the back side of a blade. i don't, but i do grind it back down flat if it has hit some things solid enough to swell the blade edge out on the top and bottom.

Today's Featured Article - It Can't Be Done! - A Tractor Story - by Neil Campbell. I'll never forget the time back when I was a boy baling hay on our Farm in Big Rapid, Michigan. The most memorable event that took place was a trip up the steepest incline on the farm pulling an old New-Idea baler with a pony-motor for power and a haywagon. I had just talked my Dad into buying an old John Deere B with 6-speeds ahead and I was real proud of it, except it was a little smaller than the Case tractor that we normally ... [Read Article]
