Hi, I just bought a 60" Woods rotary cutter for my 135, having finally worn out my 30-year-old King Kutter.
First thing I noticed is that the attachment point on the cutter for the upper link has a secondary piece which forms a loose, floating connection between the cutter and the upper link. The previous King Cutter did not have this. It simply had a place to put a pin through, forming a rigid connection between the upper link and the cutter's upper mounting point.
Second thing I noticed is that the draft control for the cutter, while in operation, is very sketchy and unpredictable. If I move the draft control lever even a millimeter the cutter rides up or buries in the ground.
I'm thinking that since the attachment point for the upper link on the MF135 is also the draft sensor, and since the new cutter has a loose, floating connection to the upper link, the draft sensor is not getting the input it needs to correctly operate the draft.
Does this make sense? Am I barking up the wrong tree? The draft control works perfectly with the older cutter.
