"Setting Up a Bush Hog i have sold and serviced hogs for years and see this all the time. PLEASE don't take this wrong but it's a real common mistake that they are not beening mounted right.i know what your thinking how hard is it to put a hog on a tractor and go cut some grass? but!! your hog has a tail wheel right? your tractor has 2 lower lift arms right? set your hog on a 4x4 so it is level lower your tail wheel so it's on the ground. now put your tractor on but[[[[ DON'T]]] hook up the PTO with tractor running put the 3pt. control lever in the middle of the range and turn your top link so it will get longer and you will feel you 3pt. raise just a little and the stop but when you make the top link long it will raise a little more that because the control piston under the set is being pushed in and that makes you 3pt. lift untill the pressure is releasted.with a little fine tuning and a little setting of the tail wheel up or down for the height of cut you want your hog will cut at the height you want. if you have ANY questions call me i will help you set it right 1-920-446-3296 your hog should not be hanging on the tractor when your cutting but rideing on the tail wheel and the 3pt. at a set height and that is controled by your top link. good luck and if you need help call"

On the 20, there is no position adjustment (meaning that a certain position on the lever corresponds to a certain height). There is really only up or down, and variations on how fast it goes either direction.

Are you saying that the handle "drifts" upward while you're trying to use the mower?

You'll have loads of fun if this is your first tractor, and the biggest rule is to have fun WHILE being safe. Don't try to adjust anything on the mower while the PTO is running. And more common sense things. Clothing can get wrapped around a PTO shaft quite easily.

If the tractor runs well at all speeds, don't worry about checking for the FBWS. You only need to check for that if you think you have an ignition problem.

This is an issue with my bushhog that I have - I always drag out the limit chains when I use it. My Woods finish mower has wheels on the front as well - if someone has taken those off of yours, it would be best if you found replacements at a Woods dealer.
