Live in Western Washington and had a wet spring. That generally gives us a lot of thick grass in the hay.
I have a Kosch mower on my Farmall Supet A. I keep fixing things on it and mows well in most hay. But when you get into places in the fields where there has been extra moisture the grass is thick and hard to mow. Even those with disc mower sometimes have problems.
I try to raise the mower up a bit and that can help.
I sharpened the sickle at the beginning of the year. Have only mowed about 20 acres on it this year.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions of what to do to keep mower from plugging?
I know if I am on a steep hill in thick hay I can kick it out of gear and ease it down the hill and it will cut through it.
