MF65 Problem

It sounds to me like your tractor is running pretty normal. Are your blades really sharp on that bush hog or are they about as sharp as your little finger. That grass down close to the ground is thick and maybe wet, it has nowhere to go so it clogs the bush hog and slows it down, 47 hp or not. How about shear pins, have you gone through any lately?

I had borrowed the bushhog so I really don't know how sharp the blades were and in that 3 hours of mowing I did not go thru any shear pins. The grass was not wet as we had not had rain in over 2 weeks. It was really weird because of the drought that we have been in. I would encounter a 30 foot stretch of 3 foot tall very thick grass and weeds and then enter an area that had absolutely no grass because of the livestock we had on it, and the bushhog would just spin as there was nothing for it to cut. I guess my concern was in the future we had the normal amount of rain and the entire pasture was very thick I would have had a tough time getting it done or I guess I would just have had to pick the bushhog up a little. And then again if the blades were very dull that might have had something to do with it. Well Ive run on long enough. Thanks for the information.
