Hi experts
i really need some help, i just purchased an old david brown 880. It came with a howard slasher and when we viewed the tractor slashing before we bought it it was scalping so i mentioned to the seller that it looks to be cutting a bit low. I figured we could adjust it, so we purchased it.
When it arrived at our place he showed us that he welded on both sides of the slasher some metal plates to help raise the slasher up higher off the ground so it didnt scalp any more when in the down position. I also noticed he had cut the front of the slasher because it was extremely close to the back tyres.
So we gave it a test run it was ploughing on both sides of the slasher and digging in deep to oir grass. It caused a fair bit of damage to the paddock. We tried to raise the slasher but it seems to only have two positions. On the ground or fully up.
I was wondering if anyone can offer some advice as to where to adjust or test to see if we can adjust it. Im new to tracter ownership, im familiar with rideons ad somewhat mechanically minded as we service our own rideon, deck, clutches etc.
