I bought a Gehl 1070 M/C here afew months ago. I tried it out yesterday and it ran great cut good. The problem is when I went around a slight hill with the left side down hill it would run side ways. I read the owners manual but could not find a cure for this. I will admit this is the first one of these that I have had. Use to old 7' sickle mowers. Just now moving up to this LOL. I did notice that the left side was real heavy according to the manual. Would that affect it like that? Any help is aprreciated. Thanks

Thanks i'll try those ideas. One other thing is that I have to run it to the far outside hole on the tongue because the rear tractor wheel getsin the uncut grass. I will admit it sits out pretty far. I appreciate all the advice.

How wet is the soil? Sometimes there is no way to avoid problems with the machine wanting to pull sideways. Depending on how heavy it is, how wide it is, and the soil conditions, you just may be SOL until the ground dries a little more.

How wide is it? I'm guessing this is a side tounge? I don;t know a thing about Gehl machines or how they pull, only a Ford and New Idea (same machine, different paint)

You also could use a ribbed (similar to a tractor front tire) tires on the machine to help keep it from sliding.

T May,

I don't know squat about your particular mower, but will just throw a couple of ideas at you.

First, are those skid shoes adjusted the same on both sides? Are you running it with the head clear down, riding on the shoes? Don't let the cylinder carry any of the header weight.

The manual ought to explain how to adjust the "float" of the head (usually takes about 70 lbs to lift each side).

Also, some machines use suspension springs that have a heavy spring within a spring; if that inner spring is broken, they will "carry" wrong.

Lastly, many mocos use fluid in the tire on the "heavy" side. If it doesn't have the fluid, it does not have the correct base of support to carry that darned heavy head.

Hope ya get 'er figured out.

Allan
