c.d.-- 1) Purchase a quadrant stop kit (about $5.00) to control the height to which you lift your rotary cutter. This is a little device which attaches to your hydraulic lift quadrant and which you adjust by means of a wing-nut. Just raise the cutter until the deck just touches the pto drive shaft guard, then tighten down on the wing-nut. No more looking back, which is pretty dangerous to do, by the way. Those rotary cutters can throw stuff forward as well as backwards. 2) Purchase a set of limiter chains or deck stabilizers to limit the downward movement of the cutter and take the weight off the hydraulics. These chains are adjustable and fasten to the lift pins on the cutter and the top-link pin on the tractor. With the pto driveshaft disconnected from the tractor, raise the deck to the height you want to cut, then count the number of links of chain you need to achieve that. Raise the deck a little higher, slide the next link in the slot in the tab on the top-link pin, and lower the deck so the chains carry the weight. Be sure the chains on each side is the same length, of course. It may take a little trial and error to achieve the desired height, but it should solve your problem. Good luck and be safe, --JK (TN)
