Dell, I have an old 9-N that is old as I am and darn near as tired. Burns about much oil as gas. Weak. You get the picture. It does very well using a 5-foot Bush-Hog brand "Squealer" model. Insofar as height adjustment, I use limiter chains similar to those in this series of postings. The "Squealer" employs a heavy chain between the top link and the end of the unit which allows for flex; taking stress off the implement and the 3PH. This combo does a good job for me for even heavy clipping. Of course, one must use a little judgement as far as height or whether a less than full pass will be easier on the tractor. Most times a full pass is o.k. just cut high enough that you keep the blade out of the ground. I might also suggest that you consider purchasing the model with the friction clutch rather than the one which uses shear pins. Stumps, you know. Bear in mind that this advice and a dollar will buy a cold suds in some places. Woody
