Mowin' with a pull type hog

I have been farming with all pull type stuff and I kind of like it that way.With my M-H 44 row crop I end up with a stripe down the middle of my cut path. I guess it's because the front wheels lay the stuff down before it gets mowed. Is there any solution or is this just the nature of the beast?

Pete,if it has flat blades on it you could try suction(lift) blades if available for your cutter.They are angled to help pull up downed material.Jim B

HI Pete

Sharp blades are a must; high RPM's ; cut with the Blades that Jim talked about ; yes cut low as you can ( use right shear bolts); open side of brush hog ; cut half a pass; use the longest blades you can; make sure hitch is leveling the brush hog , if too high or too low it is not setting right to cut; Thats about it .

Good Luck!!

I cut with a JD narrow front MT pulling a King Cutter pull type bush hog. I cut at near 3 inch height so any material laid over by the front wheels would be cut lower than most is bent over. Another thing to do is to cut the opposite direction from the first cut a day later keeping the strip between the front and rear tires.
