I checked out my owner�s manual for my bush hog (Big Bee 715HL)
After the usual �designed for years of trouble free service, etc, etc�., it states that:

�The operator should attempt to maintain the mower deck parallel to the terrain for maximum mowing efficiency, which will result in a clean and even cut.�
and...
�Along with the high lift blades, the deck itself is designed to aid in this vacuuming affect, pulling the vegetation upwards into the rotating blades�

It stands to reason that altering the deck, as Fred points out, will not enable the implement to operate as designed. However, as Rusty Farmall pointed out, at least some rotary mowers are designed, like a lawn mower, to create a vacuum, for reasons outlined above.
With vegetation 3 to 4 feet high, a vacuuming affect is a null point. However, under �normal� operating conditions, Fred Martin�s comment �That shoots the suck idea� is misinformed.
