I'm hooking up a tow-behind 5' bush hog, pulled like a trailer from the drawbar of a Farmall 140. The cutting height is adjusted by raising or lowering the wheels on the rear of the mower by cranking 'em up or down. The way it was set up when I got it leaves the wheels sticking way out in back of the cutter which puts a lot of the weight of the bush hog on the drawbar of the 140. If I switch the wheels around, they'll be more towards the middle of the cutter, just behind the gearbox of the mower. This would still leave weight on the tongue of the bush hog. Should I move the wheels forward? I'm afraid of having too much weight on the drawbar of the 140. It's a hi-clear & I don't want to break a drop housing with too much weight on it swaying side to side from the weight of the hog.
Thanks in advance for any tips or advice about setting the wheels or any advice about pulling a 5' cutter with a 140 Farmall.
