Needing some advice here guys. I have a new Deere RC 8M pull type brush cutter (solid deck w/ 2 spindles) that I use on the D19 gas. Wonderful mowing combination and brush cutting is my favorite thing to do on the farm! However, the most frustrating thing is that the mower leaves behind two windrows. Am I doing something wrong here? Or, is this just how dual spindles cutters work? What gets me is that when the highway right-aways are cut (yes, typically 15-20' batwings), it looks so nice and well cut with no windrows whereas my pasture looks horrible. Would a batwing configuration solve this problem?   ------------- '56 WD 45...'63 D15 II...'66 D17 IV |

Are running the engine at the PTO mark on the tachometer? Don’t be a putt putt around the pasture just a little above idle, open that mother up! ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |

Hmmm,, JD musta changed the rotation direction,, my antique JD 707 mower throws the windrow to the middle,,,unless ya go in reverse, then it throws them to the outside,thats at full PTO rpm. It's a similar mower, only its a 14' cut I have a 5 or 6' bush hog that is a single blade and throws a windrow also,, so,,, maybe that's just the nature of the beast..? Don't know how the hiway dept. does thiers,, but around here they cut pretty high,,,like 6 inches or more so the windrows don't show as much... |
